I tried to make the app easy to use for blind people. The "start audio mode" button is really big in the middle of the screen, so after you open the app, if you press somewhere in the middle of your screen the audio mode should start. On the audio mode, the app scans for the supported game files on your device, and speaks out loud the name of each game file with a number identifier. After the enumeration of the games, there will be a beep, then you should say the game number, it will load that game. When it's time for the player to speak, the app makes a beep sound. You can interrupt the story speech by clicking anywhere in the middle of screen, click anywhere on the screen also to start the speech recognition in case it is stopped. Sometimes the speech recognition fails to understand what is said, and nothing happens, in that case you have to press in google speech button exactly the middle or dismiss the popup clicking twice somewhere little above the android native back button. (Unfortunately I couldn't solve this problem yet)
If there is any problem or recommendation please let me know.
Text to speech configuration: It gets the default configuration from your phone, so if you want to change speed of speech or language you can do it on android settings, language and input, text to speech output.
How to easily find games: If you click on the top button of the app "Browse supported games", it will bring you to the website https://ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXzcode.html where the game files are directly available for download. Once the game file is downloaded, you just need to go back to the app and start audio or text mode, and the file scanner is going to find your downloaded games.

Comments on audio IF - Interactive Fiction for Android
★★★★★Phillip Shane Noonan· Jul 18, 2020
Very good concept. I loved these games in the day.
★★★★★Wes Coon· Feb 8, 2020
Thanks for making this! I am not disabled but was just curious a way to play IF games hands free. I had been using a jankier method of input that required looking at screen and this works really fluidly! I was just asking IF community how hard it would be to make an app like this, thinking how fun and useful it would be. Being able to explore and play games in bed with your eyes closed is one of the coolest gaming experiences I have had. Hope for more updates! Would love using Bluetooth mic too

I'm not blind and the blind people I know use iOS. Doesn't play perfectly with Talk back on, so it may be hard to use the "Try again" button when silence is encountered.
