Just have to say how much fun I am having on Android since I switched with all the tinkering I am able to do. Like being able to set long presses of my volume buttons to skip tracks. That's something I could never do on iOS unless jail broken, and that has been almost impossible for a while now. Just one of those little convenience things. Plus just the stability over all has been nice. Don't feel like I'm missing anything since having made the jump. Last time I gave Android a serious look before this was back before 8.0 I think, and definitely couldn't say I wasn't missing anything. Really impressed with how far TalkBack has come.

Fun on Android
I switched to Samsung phone and it seems that I am not really missing anything. I recommend switching to Jishuo or its international version CSR. It is a world of difference with the extensions and tools.

I tested Jishuo, but found it to be complicated, plus no built in Braille keyboard or quick language switching made it a no go for me. I know I could use the old Soft Braille keyboard, but like the TalkBack Braille keyboard much better. Plus I like the talkback gestures more. I'm glad Jishuo exists, because they push the envelope and show what is possible. I don't know if half the stuff we have now in TalkBack would exist if it weren't for Jishuo. I can't prove that, just a feeling I have. We didn't get multi-finger gestures until after Jishuo came along.

You can download AutoTTS or Vocalizer from the Play Store to have auto language switching enabled.
Shame no Braille CSR
Hi all, shame no Braille with CSR yet. what extensions make it better than talkback?
CHeck the Extension Section
Check the extensions section of the app. I am new to the app, so I have only one extension to clear all apps with a finger gesture.

I am part of that telegram group.
Hi, yeah I am part of that group and it has been a big help. But for now I will just stick with TalkBack. But like I said, I'm glad CSR exists. Competition is good, keeps people on their toes.
