Best way to speak Caller ID other than TalkBack?

woodygreenberg

Talk back is designed for low vison or blind users and converts everything to audio. I just want audio announcement of Caller ID as I have had in almost all my prior cell phones. Is there a way to achieve my simple goal?

Hey woodygreenberg!

TalkBack is a fantastic feature that we want you to get the most out of. And based on your description of simply needing an audio announcement of Caller ID, well, we've got you covered.

To do this, go to settings > accessibility > TalkBack > settings > and select nothing other than Speak caller ID.

I have tried your suggested solution several timrs since I purchased my Galaxy S4 on Monday, including working with a Tech in the VW store in Manhasset NY. I always get the same result: even though I turn on only the Speak Caller ID, I end up with audio on every control . It's extremely frustrating. 

Thanks,

WoodyGreenberg
