Just bought #jieshuo screen reader, also known as Commentary. I don't know how to close apps and it seems to work best in landscape orientation. Any idea how to make it work with portrait orientation and how to close apps?
Time to see how well I can replicate either the #Chromevox and/or #Talkback keyboard experience with the #jieshuo screen reader's 'Hotkey Scheme' feature. The default has 'waaaaaaaay' too many conflicts in my view (particularly if using web browsers that support keyboard shortcuts).
And since people are able to share said keyboard layouts, anyone thought of creating a #WindowEyes or #SuperNova/#Hal layout?
As I've said for 14 years, this isn't a feel good story. The community shouldn't be trapped on 1 mobile platform. I don't blame anyone for not using, learn, tolerate or except the level of android accessibility. I morn that there aren't alternatives to the Cupertino gilded cage https://www.applevis.com/blog/i-switched-android-iphone-15-probably-my-future
@Ranger1138@alexhall One of the coolest bits of the #Jieshuo screen reader which does not get much talk at all, is its support for VR Headsets. Something I’m positive Talkback will never get In the near future.
Mastodon servers can report information about the hashtags that are trending, and #Tusky now shows this information for you. It's accessible from the left-hand navigation menu, and you can also add it as a dedicated tab.
I've attached a screenshot so you can see what it's like.
@nikclayton@Tusky Y’all guys do amazing work. May more #Fediverse & #Threadiverse applications follow your lead, especially with adding ‘custom accessibility actions within menus for #Talkback & other screen reader apps such as #Jieshuo.
I just purchased #FediLab@apps from the Play Store for $2.49 USD (though can also be gotten from F-Droid or it's many interfaces).
The app from a #Blind user perspective does work okay with both #jieshuo and Talkback, though if you're coming from the #Apple camp particularly, there is currently no 'actions' menu for items, thus taking the #youtube for Android interface route.

@GothicAnon Hi there!
It’s A sound pack for a screen reader which in English is called Commentary, but most of the time people call it #Jieshuo these days.
It’s a Chinese screen reader for Android, to go alongside Talkback from Google.
