TapType is out.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 Interesting. Tap once and then keep tapping? you have to tap once to focus it.

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@fireborn @jonathan859 yeah, that just makes the talkback "nothing here" boop

[jonathan859@someplace.social]

@fireborn Also added it to the list at androida11y.com/apps.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 interesting, looking into it. I don't have a pixel, so I got it to work on a samsung and figured that would be fine. haha.

[jonathan859@someplace.social]

@freya @fireborn Lol, typical TalkBack. Maybe it has to do with the Pixel part? I think Aaron is on Samsung while we're on Pixels.

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@fireborn @jonathan859 I just got an 8 pro and um. wow android has come a long way., talkback is still not as fast as voiceover but.... I presume there's reasons for that?

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 Reasons for that can quite simply be boiled down to talkback sucks.

[davidgoldfield@allovertheplace.ca]

@clv1 @fireborn Yep, I think Flicktype was the successor to that program. I wish someone would develop something like it today.

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@fireborn @jonathan859 and ToBeSaid is a glitchy mess, wow, hoily shit

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@fireborn @jonathan859 will it generate a custom voice? yes. will that work with talkback? no. will it slow my entire phone down to where it takesd a solid 2.5 seconds to recognise a talkback gesture? also yes

[jonathan859@someplace.social]

@freya @fireborn Lol yup, tried it. Heck na.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 Yup, it's very slow right now. Apparently it's being worked on though. Interestingly I have less issues than most with it.

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@fireborn @jonathan859 also do you know if there's a workable eloquence or vocaliser that won't shit the bed due to licensing and/or direct boot? and/or is there a prebuilt copy of the GrapheneOS TTS? I'm using google right now

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 eloquence is on the play store, that's the only way to get that. SmartVoice has a method of installing vocalizer voices, but I've not looked into how to do it.

[jonathan859@someplace.social]

@freya @fireborn RH Voice and E-Speak are the fastest you get atm. We need more and better TTS for Android. And a proper SR, but hey Aaron is working on that. I still have some faith in Android.

[jonathan859@someplace.social]

@freya @fireborn No idea about the GOS TTS, would like to know as well. Eloquence is oficially on the play store, it works, is a bit battery intense and laggy though. Oh and the price is, meh. But well, if you love it like me.

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@jonathan859 @fireborn I have a lot more faith in android than I used to, this pixel is remarkably usable. the linux terminal option is a lot more, um, broken than I was expecting, aaron love, is termux any less jank?

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 There's a modified Termux floating around that is way better, but it's quite old now and isn't perfect. Maybe I should for kTermux haha.

[jonathan859@someplace.social]

@fireborn @freya Yeah Vocaliser with Smart Voice would work, is slower though. I can give you the Ava data if you want. Can't remember all the steps on getting others though.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@freya @jonathan859 Try this taptype build, should solve all of your issues https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kbtos30ej5jpfvkveju2t/taptype-1.0.1.apk?rlkey=hw4s9e9keazu7jd9qbb84uycc&dl=1
