    We'll read about the TalkBack mode we demonstrate how to find the tutorial. "When TalkBack is on, your device provides spoken feedback to help blind and low-vision users. For example, it describes what you touch, select and activate." The TalkBack mode is very useful, but it can be quite complicated to understand and use. This is why going through the tutorial is very helpful. The tutorial will help explain everything. It will also give us demonstrations and examples. It will also give us exercises that will help us get the most out of this mode.
