        "content": "Here\u2019s how you can find and turn on the screen reader (Samsung calls it **TalkBack** or **Voice Assistant**) on your Galaxy tablet. Even though your tablet is from 2025 with an 11\u00bd-inch screen, most current Samsung tablets run Android with One UI, and the following steps should work. I\u2019ll include tips for navigating without seeing the screen.\n\n---\n\n## What to Look for\n\nSamsung uses different names depending on software version:\n\n- **TalkBack** (usually on newer One UI versions) ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002553/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Voice Assistant** or **Screen reader** (older names or different One UI versions) ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002553/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to Turn On the Screen Reader\n\n1. **Go to Settings**  \n   From the Home screen, find the **Settings** app (looks like a gear). Open it.\n\n2. **Find Accessibility**  \n   Inside Settings, scroll or swipe to the **Accessibility** section. You might also search inside Settings using the word \u201caccessibility\u201d if your model has a search field. ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002553/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Open Vision or Screen Reader Options**  \n   Under Accessibility, find the category for **Vision** or something similar. Tap that. ([att.com](https://www.att.com/device-support/article/wireless/KM1319919/Samsung/SamsungT387AA?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Turn on TalkBack or Voice Assistant**  \n   In Vision or Screen Reader settings, you\u2019ll see \u201cTalkBack\u201d or \u201cVoice Assistant\u201d with a switch. Tap to turn it on. A tutorial may begin automatically to teach you how to use it. ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002553/?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Grant Permissions**  \n   It may ask you to give certain permissions\u2014tap \u201cAllow.\u201d ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002553/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Shortcuts to Turn It On or Off\n\n- You can often turn TalkBack on/off by pressing **both volume buttons simultaneously** for about 3 seconds. This is called the **Volume Key Shortcut**. ([appt.org](https://appt.org/en/docs/android/features/talkback?utm_source=openai))  \n- If Voice Assistant is already on and you need to turn it off again, you\u2019ll need to double-tap items (instead of single-tap) to select, and use two fingers to scroll. ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/za/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-enable-and-disable-talkback-on-my-samsung-galaxy-tab-s/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Navigating Once the Screen Reader Is On\n\nUsing the screen without seeing:\n\n- **Swipe left or right** with one finger to move between items.\n- **Double-tap** on an item to activate it.\n- **Swipe up or down with two fingers** to scroll through longer lists, like the Settings menu. ([samsung.com](https://www.samsung.com/africa_en/support/mobile-devices/how-to-use-the-talkback-feature/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the exact model name (for example, \u201cGalaxy Tab S10\u201d, \u201cTab A11\u201d, etc.), I can give you exact instructions for *your* tablet, including where exactly the TalkBack toggle is and which gestures work best."
