=== What to do if you have 1.3 (1.4 flatfish) device ===
== Usage ==
The screen reader allows you to explore and touch anything on the screen. A'''nything Anything that is under your finger will be spoken''' but not activated automatically. This is a good way to get an idea of the user interface.[VIDEO]
To read all the items that are on the screen in sequential order '''swipe to the right to go forward and to the left to go backward'''. The active item is highlighted by a rectangle around it, while it is spoken.
Once you have reached the item that you want '''to activate, double tap anywhere on the screen'''. If you reached a range widget, you can '''swipe up or down to change its value'''.

To speed up using the keyboard when entering text you do not need to double tap on the chosen key. '''Lifting a finger once you have reached the key by touch will input it.''' This also works for entering numbers.
