GrapheneOS includes all of the accessibility features from the Android Open - Source Project and strives to fill in the gaps from not including Google apps and - services. We include our own fork of the open source TalkBack and Switch Access - accessibility services along with a Monochromacy option for the standard color - correction menu.
- -GrapheneOS does not yet include a text-to-speech (TTS) service in the base OS - due to limitations of the available options. Including one is planned in the - future when a suitable option is available. RHVoice and eSpeak NG are both open - source and are the most common choices by GrapheneOS users. Both of these mostly - work fine but have licensing issues and don't support Direct Boot so they cannot - be used before the initial unlock of the device. Installing and setting up either - one of these or another TTS app will get TalkBack working. TalkBack itself - supports Direct Boot and works before the first unlock but it needs to have a TTS - app supporting it in order to do more than playing the activation sound before the - first unlock. After installing a TTS service, you need to select it in the OS - configuration to accept activating it. The OS will display one of them as already - selected, but it won't simply work from being installed as that wouldn't be safe. - This is the same as the stock OS but it comes with one set up already.
- -GrapheneOS disables showing the characters as passwords are typed by default. - You can enable this in Settings ➔ Privacy.
- -Third party accessibility services can be installed and activated. This - includes the ones made by Google. Most of these will work but some may have a hard - dependency on functionality from Google Play services for some of their - functionality or to run at all. Accessibility services are very powerful and we - strongly recommend against using third party implementations if you can get by - well without them. We plan to add safeguards in this area while still keeping them - working without problematic barriers.
