Select to speak
If you activate the "Read aloud" function on the Huawei smartphone, you can have the screen contents read aloud by tapping on an element. If you tap on the symbol in the navigation bar, you will have the following control options:
- Tap a specific item, such as text or an image.
- Drag your finger across the screen to select multiple items.
- Tap the Play button to hear the text.
Note: If we activate "Read aloud", an additional symbol appears in the navigation bar at the bottom right. The playback functions can be accessed via this.

Read text to images
If this feature is enabled on the Huawei smartphone, we can have text in photos or in the camera viewfinder read aloud to us. We are advised that this is an experimental feature and may not work properly, in which case the Android Accessibility Suite requires permission to capture everything that is displayed on the screen.
