Description
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.
Recent changes: We’ve simplified activation! Use the accessibility floating button to toggle Voice Access listening mode on/off. This shortcut can be customized to volume keys, gesture, or navigation bar button. Plus, we've made improvements to multi-window scenarios, only showing labels on the focused app, reducing screen clutter.

Based on my hand I want you to make a complete palm reading guide, Analyze the palm, the style of the guide should be clean and minimal, thin lines, rounded cards, overall very expensive looking. Focus on the palm reading, create a simple black on white contour of my main lines, as a little artwork. Do your best

Don't understand why the floating accessibility button is NOW the only way to use this app. If either have this obtrusive button visible all day or must go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Access to turn the shortcut on, then repeat the steps to hide it. Opening the home screen icon tells me to enable Voice Access in settings (button visible). This is ridiculous & infuriating. Other accessibility apps, & this one previously, allow 2 ways to enable them, with the floating button being OPTIONAL.

I do not know, nor will I ever want to use this app. I want it off of my phone. Let people uninstall apps and have FULL CONTROL OVER THE DEVICE THEY PAID SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR. At this point, I'm looking at flip phones and non-google smartphones from other countries. This is ridiculous.
