About this app

Voice Access helps anyone who has difficulty manipulating a touch screen (e.g. due to paralysis, tremor, or temporary injury) use their Android device by voice.

Voice Access provides many voice commands for:
- Basic navigation (e.g. "go back", "go home", "open Gmail")
- Controlling the current screen (e.g. "tap next", "scroll down")
- Text editing and dictation (e.g. "type hello", "replace coffee with tea")

You can also say "Help" any time to see a short list of commands.

Voice Access includes a tutorial which introduces the most common voice commands (starting Voice Access, tapping, scrolling, basic text editing, and getting help).

You can use the Google Assistant to start Voice Access by saying "Hey Google, Voice Access". To do this, you’ll need to enable "Hey Google" detection. You can also tap either the Voice Access notification or a blue Voice Access button and start talking.

To pause Voice Access temporarily, just say "stop listening". To disable Voice Access completely, go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Access and turn off the switch.

For additional support, see Voice Access help.

This app uses the AccessibilityService API to help users with motor impairments. It uses the API to collect information about the controls on the screen and activate them based on the user’s spoken instructions.

This is such a useful and important feature for us disabled folks... when it works. Super buggy - duplicates commands, will suddenly decide in grid mode that you obviously must be wanting to type numbers instead of clicking them, and recently it's started using a TON of resources. Oh, and it's started opening an app with the word "Two" in its name instead of tapping OR typing the number 2, so that's fun to have to work around 🙃 I just want this to work smoothly so I can use my phone!

Seems interesting if you wanted to take the time to figure it out, but it should require such a learning curve.... It should be integrated with Google Assistant so that it is smoother and more efficient. I don't want to say, "Hey Google, Voice Access." Just to select something. The app isn't worth it in the current state, though it is a good concept.

The interferes with Google Assistant and also there's an icon on your screen that you can click to start using it and it is sitting right on top of something I use all the time and I can't get to it without turning on the voice access So it's always listening meaning I can't use the microphone to type out what I'm saying either on any of the apps I use that for. I had to remove it from my phone otherwise I couldn't use the functions I do enjoy about my phone.
