[Trainer-Talk] TalkBack resources and question

[laotab ~]

I am very interested in this as well.  I just got a track phone with talk back and I am lost.  I am use to voice over on the iphone.  I use the google voice feature for most commands but I don't like how to wake it up and am also confused on how to hang up.  I use the home button on the iphone a lot and not having a button throws me.  the swipe gestures seem backwards to me.
Thanks,
Bridget, PA

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] TalkBack resources and question

Hello all,
What are your best resources for learning more about TalkBack and troubleshooting for TalkBack? In particular, are there any resources that help outline the differences in Talkback on the various flavors of Android?

For example, I have a client with an LG LS676 and I am trying to help him set up the phone so that he can answer with a gesture or the press of a button, instead of swiping to find the answer button and then double tapping. Pressing the Home button and swiping from left to right do not work. I have done this with other clients and have helped them set things up so that they can answer by pressing the volume button. This was done through the Phone app and call settings. This option does not appear on his version of Android/Talkback and I'm wondering if there is another alternative or if it just lives somewhere else on his phone.

I found an accessibility help page for his phone on Sprint (which is his carrier) but it is not very detailed. I'm wondering if there are other places I could find this answer or what go-to resources other trainers are using when you encounter differences in Android or TalkBack versions.

Thanks for any help you can give.
