  49. Starting with Android 1.6 &mdash; fondly known as Donut &mdash;the
    50. 

  50. platform includes an Accessibility API that makes it easy to
    51. 

  51. implement adaptive technology such as screenreaders. Android 1.6
    52. 

  52. comes with a built-in screenreader called TalkBack that provides
    53. 

  53. spoken feedback when using Android applications written in Java.
    54. 

  54. </p>
    55. 

  55. <p>
    56. 

  56. The next few videos will progressively introduce TalkBack,
    57. 

  57. SoundBack and KickBack, a suite of programs that augment the
    58. 

  58. Android user interface with alternative output. 
    59. 

  59. </p>
    60. 

  60. <p>
    61. 

  61. All of these special utilities are available through option
    62. 

  62. <i>Accessibility</i> in the Android Settings menu. Once activated, the
    63. 

  63. accessibility settings are persistent across reboots, i.e., you
    64. 

  64. need enable these tools only once.
    65. 

  65. </p>
    66. 

  66. 

  67. <p>
    68. 

  68. Notice that because I have accessibility  enabled on my phone,
    69. 

  69. all user actions produce relevant auditory feedback. Thus, each
    70. 

  70. item is spoken as I
    71. 

  71. move through the various options in the settings menu. The spoken
    72. 

  72. feedback also indicates the state of an item as appropriate.
    73. 

  73. </p>
    74. 

  74. <p>
    75. 

  75. Activating SoundBack produces non-spoken auditory feedback;
    76. 

  76. KickBack produces haptic feedback.
