There is no rocket science installing and setting up Voice Access on an Android device. Even though it is originally developed for people with mobility challenges, it is also beneficial for those who are multitasking, having their hands full or trying to limit themselves from touching surfaces during the COVID-19 pandemic.Ĭurious knowing how it works? Basically, inside the Voice Access app, each of the buttons/areas is marked with a number and you can just use a voice command and indicate a number to “select” the button/area you would like to navigate to. It works similarly to how you use voice commands with Google Assistant and it can be operated in English, Spanish, German, Italian or French. Voice Access is a new and free app developed by Google that enables everyone to use a mobile device via voice commands, completely hands-free.
