On the phone, it is limited because you just have to swipe in side and do different gestures. Your phone assistant will be turned on even if you would want to restart your phone or anything, it’s going to solve that issue for you. One might wonder that the voice assistant will be turned off automatically if he restarts or power off the phone like the other apps but is not going to happen. You have to navigate on your phone through two fingers and not just with just one finger to scroll up, scroll down, and else. Also to open anything while the Talkback is working, you will have to double tap on each thing you want to do.
Nowadays, there are several kinds of assistive technologies which have the common goal of accessibility. These tools are used by people to get access to the content available on the web. They might include the keyboard, mouse or voice access, etc. One of which we have is the screen reader, which comes on Android with that name but can be turned on a similar facility on the iPhone too which is named as Voice over there and Talkback as on Android. It is the gesture-based UI, so for most desktop screen readers, there are several keyboard shortcuts that can be hit and move around special things.
