Harry,


Voice Access is an Android accessibility service for people with motor 
impairments. As the article you linked to describes, when the service is 
on, each clickable item (for lack of a better term) is overlaid by a 
number so that people who can't touch their phones can say the number.


This service doesn't work very well with TalkBack. The last time I tried 
it, which was around the time of its release, TalkBack could read the 
numbers but not tell the user what icon the numbers represent.


OK Google lets you do a lot with your voice, but there are bits and 
pieces that require touching the screen. My limited experience with Siti 
is similar.


Ciao
