User reviews

Where did this come from. I keep getting alerts to enable text with video. Not comfortable with that. I didn't ask for the app and don't appreciate Google just installing it. Disabling the updates was only way I could stop the alerts from constantly popping up. Pissing me off 🤬. I uninstalled it but still there, not in the 'not installed"part.

Talkback is a disappointment. Yes, it is incredibly beneficial for the blind, restoring basic function, and in that sense, it's a success as an accessibility feature. However, as the only built-in text to speech option for android, it is an incredible failure. There are more use-cases for text to speech than just reading every title, widget, icon, and finally textbox on the screen. Those features that are great for the blind make it utterly unusable for everyone else.

#1 🏆Hacking Vulnerability Point🏆 AND YOU CANT REMOVE IT. The only thing you can "uninstall" is updates. "Disable" only hides it (you can no longer find it to turn off the permissions that 👾MYSTERIOUSLY 👾 RE-ENABLE themselves some time after you leave settings). When your devices get breached, they come like sharks. You WILL eventually lose access to ALL accounts. Calls & texts, emails? Rerouted. Ultimately (if malicious enough) you lose everything -including your life. That's where I'm at 😔
