In an official blog post updated on Thursday, Google said that the next beta of Android 13 will support out of the box support Braille displays The Braille display is used to create a pin pattern to touch, read text on the screen and enter Braille. The display enables deaf and blind people to use smart phones, while blind people can use mobile phones quietly without screen readers or voice commands.
Android has added support for Braille browsers through Google's screen reader talkback. The upcoming beta means that users do not need to install another application to access this feature. Braille display users will continue to access the same functions, such as using the display's buttons to navigate the screen, make calls, write emails or send text messages.
In addition, Google has created new shortcuts to make it easier to use Braille displays on Android through talkback. New shortcuts include easier scrolling by moving to the next character, word or line, editing the document by jumping directly to the end, or trying to select / copy / paste text.
