  50. We briefly introduced TalkBack in the previous video while enabling <i>Accessibility</i> from the settings menu.
    51. 

  51. Here, we show off some of this screenreader's features.
    52. 

  52. </p>
    53. 

  53. <p>
    54. 

  54. TalkBack is designed to be a simple, non-obtrusive
    55. 

  55. screenreader. What this means in practice is that you interact
    56. 

  56. directly with your applications, and not with
    57. 

  57. TalkBack. TalkBack's job is to remain in the background and
    58. 

  58. provide the spoken feedback that you need.
    59. 

  59. </p>
    60. 

  60. <p>
    61. 

  61. TalkBack works with all of Android's native user interface
    62. 

  62. controls. This means you can configure all aspects of the Android
    63. 

  63. user interface with TalkBack providing appropriate spoken
    64. 

  64. feedback. What is more, you can use most native Android
    65. 

  65. applications &mdash; including those downloaded from the Android
    66. 

  66. Market with TalkBack providing spoken feedback.
    67. 

  67. </p>
    68. 

  68. <p>
    69. 

  69. Here are some examples of Android applications (both from Google as well as third-party applications available onmarket) that  work with TalkBack:
    70.

    71. 

  71. 

  72. <ul>
    73. 

  73. <li>
    74. 

  74. Google Maps: Perform searches, and listen to directions.
    75. 

  75. </li>
    76. 

  76. <li>
    77. 

  77. YouTube: Search, browse categories and play.
    78. 

  78. </li>
    79. 

  79. <li>
    80. 

  80. Simple Weather: Listen to local weather forecasts.

    86. 

  86. </ul>
    87. 

  87. 

  88. <p>But in this video, we'll demonstrate the use of a very simple but
    89. 

  89. useful Android application &mdash; the Android Alarm clock.

    97. 

  97. </li>
    98. 

  98. <li>
    99. 

  99. Navigate: Navigating  with the trackball speaks the alarm
    100. 

  100. under focus.
    101. 

  101. </li>
    102. 

  102. <li>
    103. 

  103. Activate: Activating with the trackball produces appropriate feedback.
    104. 

  104. </li>
    105. 

  105. <li>

  106. Navigate: Selected alarm displays its settings in a list-view which speaks as we navigate.
