 Google Assistant Accessibility Videos, Google Nest Hub accessibility features. Hello and welcome. I am Kiran and I am here with my colleague Kendra. In this video, we are going to demonstrate how to make the Google Home Hub accessible. Google Home Hub is a smart display made by Google. It includes the functionality of a Google Home but also has a 7-inch touchscreen display. The primary mode of interaction with the Google Home Hub is still voice. But the screen also displays information visually. The Home Hub has a range of accessibility features. It includes a screen reader so that people who are blind or visually impaired can access information on the screen. It also supports magnification gestures and color inversion, which can help people with low vision see the screen better. It also supports closed captions for media playback. Like the Google Home, the Home Hub also supports turning on sounds for when you say, OK Google, or hey Google, and when you stop speaking. To change any accessibility settings on the Google Home Hub, you will need to use the Google Home app on a smartphone. I am blind myself and I am using the Talkback screen reader on Android for this demo. But you can also do this on the Google Home app on iPhone or an iPad. I have the Google Home Hub setup already and I will find the accessibility settings for it now in the Google Home app. I will find the Account tab in the bottom right corner. Now I will scroll down the list to find local devices. I will open local devices by double-typing it. Now in this list of local devices, I am looking for a living room display. So I will just scroll down the list. I will double-tap to open the living room display. Now I am looking for device settings. Double-tap to open device settings. I will now scroll down to accessibility settings. I will double-tap to open accessibility settings. Now that I am under accessibility settings, I will turn on the start and end sounds under audio options. Double-tap to turn it on. I will double-tap again to turn on end sounds as well. Let's ask Google Home Hub a question. Hey Google, tell me about the Grand Canyon. The next setting under audio options is the screen reader. When you turn on the screen reader, you can use certain gestures to have text on the screen read out to you. Now I will turn on the screen reader and demonstrate a few basic gestures. I will double-tap to activate the screen reader. Chromebox spoken feedback is ready. Google Home Hub. Now that the screen reader is on, let's ask about the Grand Canyon again. Hey Google, tell me about the Grand Canyon. Now that the screen reader is turned on, I will demonstrate a few basic gestures. I can touch the screen and move my finger around to read what's being displayed on the screen. Add a reminder. Double-tap to activate. You can also use the left and right swipe gestures to move to the previous or next item and read that. My colleague Kendra will now demonstrate the magnification and color inversion features. Hi, I'm Kendra and I'm a program manager for accessibility. I'm going to demonstrate how the magnify screen and color inversion options work on Home Hub. Since we're already in the accessibility settings, simply tap on magnify screen to turn on. Once you turn on magnify screen, you can use a three-finger tap gesture to start and stop magnification. Now I'll just triple-tap with one finger to magnify the screen. Color inversion works by inverting the colors. This can make it easier on the eyes for some people with a sensitivity to brightness or for anyone who could use a little higher contrast. Again, since we're already in the accessibility settings, I'm going to simply tap on color inversion to turn it on. You can also turn on closed captions for video content. When you play videos on a service that respects the setting, closed captions will automatically be displayed. Going back to the accessibility settings after selecting closed captioning, simply tap video content to turn it on. Now you can say, hey Google, play Google Local Guides on YouTube. Okay, here's Google Local Guides on YouTube. Here's the journey behind April Photo. Hey Google, cancel. This was just a quick overview of the accessibility features on Google Home Hub.
