[Allen Nikka]

Hey Switch Access users!

I'm Allen, a product manager on the Switch Access team. I wanted to send a note to let you know that we'll be starting to share updates about Switch Access to more actively let you know what's new from the team. Announcements will include new features, new products, or opportunities for you to engage with our team and give feedback on what you'd like to see in our upcoming products and features. We're looking forward to keeping you in the loop, and can't wait to share some exciting new developments from our team soon!

On that same note, I wanted to share that we just launched a new version of Switch Access in  Android Accessibility Suite 9.1, and with it we've got some exciting new features to share.

Menu Customization

       

Enabling Menu Customization          Using Menu Customization

Menu customization lets you modify the Switch Access menu to add, remove, or move menu items to place things exactly where you want them so they're easy to reach and your menu experience is as un-cluttered as possible.

If you want to learn more about using the feature - or get help with Switch Access in general, check out our help center articles on Switch Access Setup and Switch Access Tips. For additional help, you can also contact our Disability Support team by visiting g.co/disabilitysupport. 

If you have automatic updates enabled, you should see this soon, or you can visit the link below to manually update:

Best,

Allen & the rest of the Switch Access Team

Hi Allen,

That's a useful update, thank you to your team for their continuing improvements to the Android switch and other accessibility options.

I have the menu customisation feature on my Pixel 4a 5g already by the looks of it. Since the access options update outside of Android updates, is there any way to quickly see which version is installed on devices? This would be really helpful when supporting people, particularly remotely. Also is there a list which shows the compatibility between Accessibility Suite versions and Android versions? I'm assuming those people out there with KitKat can't install Accessibility Suite 9.1...?

Many thanks,

Charlie

Hi there - I'm an Android developer -

I am starting to write code for accessibility. I was wondering if there was any way I could access the Switch Access code to do some research. I am writing my own accessibility service and the codelabs and documentation are all very gesture-centric. In my service I am struggling to do even basic things, like focus on the next / previous element without using a gesture (and this is problematic because some gestures don't even get recognised, like swipe up and right).

Thanks in advance
