Preliminary information
Before delving into the procedure relating to how to remove screen reader mode from HUAWEI smartphone, I think it might interest you to analyze the matter as a whole.
First of all, you must know that the functionality we are talking about is not exclusive to your device but that, on the contrary, it is integrated directly into the Android operating system. It is, in fact, a very important function, linked to theaccessibility.
Let me explain: most of the devices animated by Google’s mobile operating system are designed to guarantee a good user experience even for blind and visually impaired users through a series of functions, including the screen reader mode, also called TalkBack, which make it easier for those who have problems reading what’s on the screen to use the device.
For all the relevant information, I recommend that you consult the official Google guidelines and I remind you that, in case you or an acquaintance of yours need this type of functionality, the Mountain View giant also provides a support team. dedicated to disabilities.
I have also explored the matter in my guide dedicated to applications for the blind, in which I have illustrated many other features available for this purpose. In short, I wanted to make you understand the importance of these functions, which are of fundamental importance on today’s smartphones.
In any case, if you have made it this far, I guess you have activated TalkBack by mistake and, therefore, your smartphone has started to “talk” describing to you everything that happens on the screen against your will. Did I guess? Well, then don’t worry: it can happen to anyone to press the wrong button, so let’s ban the chatter and see how to fix it.
Disable HUAWEI screen reader mode
If you are wondering how to remove TalkBack from HUAWEI phone, probably the smartphone keeps telling you everything you touch and that is visible on its screen, even several times. To be precise, a double tap on a button to navigate between the various features of the smartphone in TalkBack mode.
That said, to disable this function, you need to open the Settings smartphone (using the appropriate gear-shaped icon on the Home screen of the device or in the app menu), look for the box Smart assistance / Accessibility and press on it.
Done? Well: at this point, select the option first Accessibility, then that TalkBack (which is probably set to ON) and move up OFF the appropriate toggle, then pressing the key if necessary OK to confirm your willingness to deactivate the function.
Perfect: now, if everything has been done correctly, your HUAWEI smartphone will stop “talking” by itself, simply confirming that TalkBack has been deactivated, so you can go back to using the device as you did previously, confirming your choices with a single tap (and no longer a double), as well as without green boxes and voice instructions to accompany you in every your action.
To verify that everything has been disabled correctly, I recommend that you also take a look at the fact that all other accessibility features are deactivated. For example, there may be an option Speak passwords or similar, which you clearly might want to keep up OFF.
For the rest, if you really think that these features do not serve you, you might think of completely disable TalkBack and the like, that is the accessibility functions present by default in your smartphone. To do this, go to the menu Settings> Apps and notifications> Apps and tap on the box first TalkBack / Android Accessibility Tools and then on the buttons DISABLE (if allowed) e DEACTIVATE APP And OK.
In this way, by going to the path where you previously found the possibility to activate the TalkBack function, you will see that a message like No service installed (or similar), therefore you will no longer be able to activate this feature even by mistake.
That said, I would like to remind you that there are many different models of HUAWEI smartphones, so the procedure to follow may vary slightly from what is indicated in this tutorial for the model I used (for example, there may be some menu items a little ‘different), however you shouldn’t have a hard time achieving your goal.
If you really can’t find the lever to deactivate (or similar), you might be interested in consulting my generic tutorial on how to deactivate TalkBack, as in the latter I focused more on the possibilities in this sense offered by the Android world (and therefore you may find what is right for you).
In case of problems
How do you say? You followed what was indicated in the previous chapter of the guide but your smartphone continues to speak for itself or otherwise to behave abnormally? In this case, I urge you to try a first restart your HUAWEI smartphone (if you haven’t already), in order to see if, by doing so, the device stops behaving strangely.
In case this simple operation doesn’t work, you could consider a less soft choice, namely the factory reset of the device. This operation will delete the data contained within the smartphone and you’ll have to reset everything (the device will essentially revert to as good as new), but could solve the problem you are experiencing. For all the case details on this possibility, I recommend that you refer to my tutorial on how to reset a HUAWEI smartphone.
If that doesn’t solve the problem either (or if there are other problems), I suggest you contact HUAWEI support, so that you can get help from experts who can directly follow up on your specific case.
