TL;DR
- Android owners who use the Select to Speak feature have encountered an issue where the volume keys no longer function as expected.
- Google has now acknowledged the problem and says a fix is on the way.
- Until the fix arrives, the company suggests disabling Select to Speak.
Android devices offer a range of accessibility features, including magnification, TalkBack, hearing aid support, Voice Access, and more. Among these features is Select to Speak, which reads selected text aloud and describes on-screen elements. It’s a tool that can be helpful for individuals who experience challenges with dyslexia, low vision, reading comprehension, and other conditions. This feature has recently been experiencing issues, but it looks like a fix could come soon.
