Google has introduced a new feature called "TalkBack" that allows users to navigate their phones without needing to look at the screen. This feature uses an artificial voice that reads out the details of the items on the screen. Once the content is read aloud, users can interact with apps and options using specific gestures. Additionally, TalkBack reads out any other content that appears on the screen, offering users greater independence in interacting with their devices. This includes capabilities like selecting, editing text, and controlling media.
How to Activate the TalkBack Feature
To activate TalkBack, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Search for the Accessibility option.
- Select TalkBack and toggle the feature on.
- Confirm permission to control the full screen.
Google has also added enhanced security measures for Android phones during login, which now includes biometric verification (such as fingerprint or facial recognition) for accessing Google Play services.
About Google
The idea for Google started in January 1996 as a research project by two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, at Stanford University in California. The project focused on developing a new way of searching the internet. After the success of the project, they founded Google on September 4, 1998, in Menlo Park, California. The company's headquarters is now located in Mountain View, California.
In September 2001, a patent was granted for part of the company's ranking mechanism, and the patent was officially assigned to Stanford University, with Larry Page recognized as the inventor.
Originally, Google was called "BackRub," before changing to "Google," which is derived from the mathematical term "googol," meaning the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. This name reflected the company's mission to organize the vast amount of information available on the internet.
Google provides a wide range of easy-to-use free internet services, notably its popular search engine. The company's search engine delivers relevant results in fractions of a second, handling millions of search requests daily and organizing global information for easier access.
In 2022, Larry Page, Google's co-founder, was ranked fifth on Forbes' list of the wealthiest people in the world.
