Google announces Android Nougat with new accessibility features


Google has officially launched its new version of Android 7.0 Nougat which will 
feature a number of significant accessibility additions and improvements.


Vision Settings

The most significant improvement is the inclusion of Vision Settings.  This 
lets people control settings like magnification, font size, display size and 
Talkback when setting up a new Android device. While some manufacturers such as 
Samsung already provide a similar feature, the inclusion of Vision Settings 
will ensure that all Android users of Nougat and later will be able to easily 
enable key access functionality as soon as their smartphone or tablet is turned 
on for the first time.

Voice Access

For people with a mobility impairment, Google has updated its VoiceAccess app 
that allows for more functionality using voice commands. The app allows people 
who have difficulty manipulating a touch screen due to paralysis, tremor, 
temporary injury or other reasons to control their Android devices by voice. 
For example, you can say ‘Open Chrome’ or ‘Go home’ to navigate around the 
phone, or interact with the screen by saying ‘Click next’ or ‘Scroll down’. 
Instructions on how to download and install the app <http://g.co/voiceaccess> 
are now available.Additional information can be found in the Media Access 
Australia Voice Access news item

Google Docs

In addition, Google has provided some updates to its Google Docs cloud-based 
application software by improving its compatibility with screen readers such as 
JAWS and verbal commands for people that mobility impairment. There have also 
been significant updates to speech functionality in its Chromebook range of 
affordable laptop computers.

Detailed information on the accessibility features contained in Android-based 
devices can be found in the Digital Technology

Australia website.
