More About Switch Access
Switch Access is an application that allows you to interact with your Android device using switches instead of the touchscreen. This can be especially helpful for individuals who are unable to use the touchscreen directly. To get started, you can access Switch Access through your device's Settings app and then tap on Accessibility and Switch Access.
Once you have set up a switch, Switch Access will scan the items on your screen and highlight each one until you make a selection. There are a few different types of switches that you can choose from, including physical switches such as USB or Bluetooth switches, or on-device switches like volume buttons. You can also use camera switches, which allow you to use facial gestures such as opening your mouth or looking left to navigate your device.
After setting up a switch, you can scan and interact with items on your screen using different scanning methods. These include linear scanning, row-column scanning, point scanning, and group selection. The group selection method allows you to assign switches to different color groupings, making it easier to narrow down your selection.
Switch Access also offers menus that allow you to perform various actions, such as selecting, scrolling, copying, and pasting. There is also a menu at the top of the screen that allows you to navigate your device, such as opening notifications, going to the home screen, and adjusting the volume.
In addition to using switches, you can also record touch gestures and assign them to a switch or start them from a menu. This can be useful for frequently used or complex actions, such as swiping left twice to turn two pages of an ebook. Switch Access also requires certain permissions, such as accessibility service, in order to observe your actions, retrieve window content, and observe text that you type.
Switch Access helps you interact with your Android device using one or more switches instead of the touchscreen. Switch Access can be helpful if you can't interact directly with your device.
To get started:
1. Open your device's Settings app.
2. Tap Accessibility > Switch Access.
Set up a switch
Switch Access scans the items on your screen and highlights each item until you make a selection. You can choose from a few kinds of switches:
Physical switches
• USB or Bluetooth switches, like buttons or keyboards
• On-device switches, like volume buttons
Camera switches
• Open your mouth, smile, or raise your eyebrows
• Look left, right, or up
Scan your device
After setting up a switch, you can scan and interact with things on the screen.
• Linear scanning: Move between items one at a time.
• Row-column scanning: Scan one row at a time. After a row is selected, move through items in that list.
• Point scanning: Use moving lines to select a specific horizontal and vertical location, then press "Select".
• Group selection: Assign switches to different color groupings. All items on the screen will be assigned a color. Press the switch corresponding to the color around the item you want. Narrow down the size of the group until you reach your choice.
Use the menus
When an element is selected, you'll see a menu with available interactions, like select, scroll, copy, paste, and more.
There will also be a menu at the top of the screen to help you move around your device. For example, you can open notifications, go to the home screen, change the volume, and more.
Navigate with Camera Switches
You can use Camera Switches to navigate your phone with facial gestures. Browse or select apps on your phone with the use of your phone’s front camera.
You can also customize the sensitivity and duration of each gesture to better fit your needs.
Record shortcuts
You can record touch gestures that can be assigned to a switch or started from a menu. Touch gestures can include pinching, zooming, scrolling, swiping, double tapping, and more. You can then start frequent or complex actions with a single switch, for example, recording a gesture that swipes left twice to turn two pages of an ebook.
Permissions Notice
• Accessibility Service: Because this app is an accessibility service, it can observe your actions, retrieve window content, and observe text that you type.
