View source for Firefox OS/TCP/How to Disable the Screen Reader

''First things first...''

'''CAUTION: Do not enable the screen reader mode on the version of Firefox OS that shipped with your tablet.'''

The screen reader that ships with the Flatfish tablets is broken and should not be tested unless you are on a more recent build of the OS.  (More recent builds can enable and disable it using the volume buttons. See the ''second'' "Note:" below [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Debugging/Developer_settings#Show_accessibility_settings this section] for the details.)

To disable the screen reader:
* First [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Debugging/Developer_settings#Show_accessibility_settings familiarize yourself] with screen reader navigation gestures. (You '''must''' do this to accomplish all steps!)
* Open the web browser
* Go to: <nowiki>http://tulio-albuquerque.github.io/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/</nowiki>
** Here is a shorter version for less typing: <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1loTShF</nowiki>
* At the bottom of the ''WebActivities'' section, tap "Open settings"
* In settings, on the left side, navigate down to the ''Accessibility'' section and disable the Screen reader toggle.

Alternatively, if you are comfortable with losing your data, you can follow instructions to [https://wiki.mozilla.org/FirefoxOS/TCP/Reset Reset the tablet].  It does not require navigating the User Interface, but you will need to run ADB in a command prompt.
