TalkBack allows user with visual impairment to use Samsung Galaxy Note3 with assistance. It reads out loud the location one is currently in, along with the screen options and other prompts that require an action. This can be a great feature when used by people who actually need it. We have a separate article that discusses how to Enable Talk Back Mode in Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
If you have accidentally turned it on, operating your phone can be very difficult at first because, aside from the voice that talks back to you, normal phone touching gestures won't work. This article will discuss how to disable TalkBack mode on Samsung Galaxy Note3.
Gestures when in TalkBack mode
When your Galaxy Note3 is in TalkBack mode it does not recognize the normal tapping and swiping gestures. This is an important thing to know so that you will not have a hard time using your device. The gestures that won't work are:
- 1Normal swiping won't work when your device is in TalkBack mode. To swipe, you need to perform the usual gesture using your two fingers slightly apart.Swiping.
- 2Normal tapping or touching won't yield the same result on the TalkBack mode. You need to double tap/double touch an item, icon or menu to be able to open or select it.Tapping/touching.
- The reason: Because TalkBack is intended to aid people with visual impairment, tapping on an icon or a menu will not open it. Instead, it will speak the name of the application or menu that is being tapped. This is to avoid accidental opening of applications or accidental calling of contacts.

After double tapping, it will not open up so I can do so.. I have tried: I've managed to get the pull down screen. Located the highlighted screen double tapped, and then 1 tap. It does not open up. I think it was caused by: I turned it on when a screen came up thinking it was part of a new updated that would allow me to use my Era Bluetooth because it speak to dial contacts was never compatible with my Note3
