How to deactivate voice guidance on Android?


What is Talkback?

Talkback is a software option from Google, when activated, all actions performed on the smartphone are announced.
When using the gadget, it allows you not to look at the screen. Absolutely every click and every step is voiced by a female or male voice (to choose from). The algorithm for selecting the application of interest is interesting. We are used to the fact that a single touch is enough to launch a program. In Talkback, after such a click, the name of the icon is reported, and to confirm the choice, a subsequent double tap is required, similar to a computer mouse.

Even if your vision is completely normal, we recommend activating this function, at least out of curiosity. Depending on the Android version, you must use one of the following methods:

  • Look for the Talkback shortcut on your smartphone and use it to launch it.
  • Press “+” and “-” on the volume button simultaneously.
  • Use two fingers to touch the display for 5 seconds.
  • Go to “Settings” - “Accessibility”. Further, in different firmware from different manufacturers, options are possible: The categories “Vision”, “Hearing”, “Impaired coordination” will be offered. Here you need to select “Vision” and activate Talkback.
  • You will be asked to activate Talkback without additional categories - this is the most common case.

Immediately after this, the program offers an introductory management course. At this point, the user learns the basics of navigating Talkback. They are very unusual for the average user, but visually impaired people should adapt quickly.

Talkback what is this program

Talkback

is an Android application that was created for people who have poor vision or no vision at all. This function completely takes over all work with the device and voices every step of the blind user. This feature is convenient for those who have previously worked on a computer, because working with the device becomes like clicking a mouse.

Just one touch is needed to press the keys, and they are always spoken. The same is true for voice acting during typing. In addition, it sends notifications about calls. And if you shake the device, the program will begin to read out everything that is on the screen at the moment.

If you click on a letter and hold your finger on it, the program will read out the letter first, and then the word that begins with it. This typing method allows you to accurately type a word by ear, perceiving each letter correctly. Talkback is also useful for its audio prompts. They can provide information regarding one of the listed properties on the phone. In addition, the program allows you to recognize gestures, and even synthesizes human speech into text.

Main features of the application

  • Reading information: text, menu items, etc.
  • Sounding out the letters you press when typing.
  • Voice information for an incoming call - name and phone number. Also reading content from SMS.
  • Voice contacts when scrolling through the phone book.
  • Informing the newly launched application.
  • If there is a distance sensor, you can automatically increase the voice volume when moving away, or vice versa, decrease the volume when approaching the phone.
  • Gesture controls to make it easier to navigate or work with the application.

Why is this function needed?

The Talkback program is designed as a special opportunity for people with low or no vision. It makes working with the phone a little easier and voices almost all the owner’s actions. This feature is convenient for those who have previously only worked with computers, because the controls become similar to clicking a mouse.

Keys that are pressed with one touch are spoken, and text is typed using the keyboard. The program also notifies about incoming calls, and when shaken, it can begin to read out all the information that the screen displays.

If you hold your finger on one of the letters for a few seconds, talkback will first pronounce the letter itself, and then the word that begins with it. This option helps you better understand certain sounds by ear for error-free typing of a message. Among other devices, talkback is useful with audio prompts that provide auxiliary information on certain phone objects. It is also possible to execute commands with gestures and synthesize human speech into text.

Function value

In order to further carry out the deactivation procedure more quickly and naturally, it is suggested that you first understand what talkback is. If you are aware of the localization of the option in the phone parameters, you can easily find other controls.

Voice guidance mechanisms are designed for users with poor vision or no vision at all, while the system somewhat simplifies interaction by reproducing all manipulations by voice. In practice, the option is predisposed to people who have previously sat at the computer a lot, since all operations are more reminiscent of clicks with a regular mouse.

Before you turn off voice guidance on Android, you should understand that the function provides voice acting for actions performed with one click. Additionally, there is a notification about incoming calls, and during the shaking process it reads all the information displayed on the interface.

If you hold down any letter for a few seconds, talkback will first announce the symbol, followed by the word it refers to. The function allows the listener to understand certain sounds for correct typing. Among other features, it is necessary to highlight voice prompts, which demonstrate some information regarding various components of the interface. Moreover, gestures and rewriting of voiced speech into text format can be used for control.

Talkback features

  • Multilingual voice acting - you can choose any foreign language.
  • Automatic voice volume adjustment depending on the distance from the user to the smartphone.
  • Supports more than 10 combinations of gestures, with which you can navigate between applications, turn pages in the browser, adjust the volume, open the notification panel, etc.
  • Using hotkey combinations for basic actions.
  • Converting any text information into voice playback: the contents of web pages, documents, SMS, messages in instant messengers, contact name when receiving an incoming call.

Why remove Google Assistant from Android

Voice dialing on Android - how to set up and use

Google utilities (GApps) are pre-installed on almost every Android gadget. Among users, the vast majority are not ready to do without them. The choice of actively used programs depends only on the goals and objectives of the person.


Removing a helper

Some smartphone lovers do not want to use them and are thinking about the question of how to disable the voice assistant on Android. There are objective reasons for this. The disadvantages of applications and services include the factors described below.

Collection of personal data

Google is almost officially collecting user data. Or rather, he openly admits it. The theory of advertising propaganda offers an explanation. What’s really sad is that even private correspondence in Gmail is scanned for this purpose. For more impressionable users, such surveillance and possible leakage of personal information into the Internet space is impossible. In this action of Google lies the danger of theft of intellectual property if details of the developments end up on the Internet.

Memory full

Another nuisance is the consumption of RAM. If the service is preinstalled, regardless of whether it is used or not, it eats up to 13 MB in a couple of months, even in standby mode. For modern devices this may not be critical, but many people still use older versions of smartphones. For example, with 16 GB of flash memory, using Google applications is not possible. They have to be turned off forcibly.

Battery drains quickly

Google apps significantly increase battery consumption. Avast Software conducted a study on the most energy-intensive applications. Of the top 10, six are Google services.

Now on Tap

The description of this service was given special attention at the presentation of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. And it was presented as one of the main features of the new firmware. But we received more or less normal functionality in Russia only in December. In the official Russian translation it is called context from Now.

How it works? “When you launch context from Now, Google analyzes everything you see on the screen and searches for information based on that data,” is the official description from the support page. What this means is that instead of highlighting and copying phrases of interest on the screen, then opening the search and pasting the phrase, you can simply press and hold the Home button. Google will then offer suggestions for the keyword phrases found. This could be pictures, videos, a proposal to open this place on maps, news. May offer to open the organization’s website or make a call, open a Facebook profile or look at a celebrity’s Twitter account, or add a note. If there are corresponding applications on the device, after tapping on the icon, the page will open immediately inside the application. When listening to music from different applications, you can call up detailed information about artists, albums, YouTube videos and more with one click.

Disable Home Button Assistant launch

The safest option is to disable Google Assistant using "Home". After this, you will not receive notifications asking you to turn on the voice assistant.

The shutdown procedure is simple. To do this you need:

  1. Wait for the assistant to launch while holding the Home button.
  2. Press the button marked as a blue and white box with a handle. It will appear in the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Select the line “Settings – Phone”.
  4. The Google Assistant application slider should be set to the “Disable” position.

Google Assistant will be disabled when performing these operations.

The work of any applications and services is aimed at making the user’s life easier. The character of a person, his needs and goals give him the opportunity to choose exactly the service that best meets his requirements. If this is not necessary, the voice assistant can be turned off. This will help free up the gadget's memory for more important things.

Changes in interaction

  • Logically, with ordinary clicks of a computer mouse, the first thing you need to do is indicate the desired object on the display by touching it. To apply the selected element, you need to double-click quickly.
  • To scroll through a menu list or scroll a web page in a certain direction, you should pull the screen in the selected direction using two fingers, since a single tap on the sensor will have no effect!
  • Unlocking the desktop is carried out using a similar principle, since you need to touch the bottom of the display with two fingers and then lift it up. You may also need to enter a password for confirmation. Also, to unlock the lock, you often use the touch key under the screen, which also requires two touches. It is especially important to follow the spoken prompts.

Procedure for disabling

In the question of how to remove voice guidance on Android, you should demonstrate the easiest sequence of actions:

  1. Double click to open the desktop;
  2. Find the standard settings application and select with two clicks;
  3. Holding a couple of fingers on the display, you should move down the list to the “System” item;
  4. Go to the accessibility section and look for a component called “Services”;
  5. Go to the talkback option, which will display some description of the feature and an activity lever near the top right edge;
  6. Using a double press, switch the lever to the off side to stop the option from being active.

Remedies

How can we fix the problem and return the keyboard to its rightful place? Let's look at 5 ways to fix a non-functioning input tool

Restarting the device and updating the standard keyboard

The first thing to do if the on-screen keyboard freezes and disappears is to restart the device.

If this does not solve the problem, you should visit the Google Play Market and check for updates to the keyboard that is available by default. Most often this is the GBoard application.

Restarting the keyboard

Also, a complete restart of the keyboard application may help with the problem.

  1. Go to the device settings menu.
  2. Go to “Applications”, click on “Application Manager” - “All”.

  3. We are looking for a standard keyboard application.

  4. Click on the “Stop” button.

  2. We return to “Settings”, go to the “Applications” tab, select “All applications”.
  3. We look for the desired application in the list.

  4. Click in turn on the “Erase data” and “Clear cache” buttons.

More advanced smartphone users, in pursuit of interesting “decorations”, download a large number of text input applications to their devices. It is not surprising that an overloaded system cannot choose which keyboard to use as the main one.

  1. Go to “Settings” – “Language and input” – “Current keyboard”.

  2. We indicate the application that will run by default on this device.

Why do many people turn off head input?

Voice input on your phone is one of Android's controversial features. It is excellent for English speech, but recognition of Russian words is at a noticeably worse level. This can be checked manually. This drawback is complemented by a high chance of accidentally pressing the button to activate this mode, which means you will also need to turn it off, which is confusing when writing texts.

Voice input is present not only in the keyboard: the search bar, which is present by default in some firmware and sometimes is not even removed, like a regular widget, may seem interfering. This point is also described in this material, which will serve as instructions for removing the annoying function in Android.

Disable with one click

When the option to quickly deactivate and enable talkback was not initially active on your smartphone, you can solve the problem with a single action in two ways:

  1. Press and hold the power key on the case until the device plays a standard tone or vibration response. Then hold both fingers on the display, maintaining the position for five seconds, after which the smartphone will notify you that the voice guidance has been turned off;
  2. Hold two fingers on both volume keys of your smartphone, which in most cases are located on the side of the case, until a characteristic signal appears.

Then you can either remove voice guidance on Android or reactivate it using similar manipulations in any situation.

Method 1: Reboot your smartphone

Sometimes the unexpected appearance of voice input and the inability to change it can be caused by a single failure, which can be resolved by simply rebooting the device. Instructions for performing this operation for smartphones and tablets are found in the links below, while in most cases you can restart the set-top box by long pressing the power button on the included remote control or by simply disconnecting from the power supply.

The Talkback service is managed according to the standard scheme. Even a phone owner without any experience using the Android OS can master it without much difficulty.

We are already accustomed to the fact that a smartphone or tablet is controlled by touching the corresponding icon on the screen.

However, it may seem that this method of operation is not suitable for a user with insufficiently good vision. Talkback in the Android operating system allows you to make calls, visit web pages and successfully control the gadget even for blind people.

Method 4: Factory reset

The most radical remedy that is guaranteed to fix the glitch in question is resetting the gadget settings to default values. Naturally, this will lose all user data on the internal drive, so if you are going to use this method, make a backup copy of all important files in advance.
