Hello members,

Since many of you requested to extend the deadline of this innovation lab, we are happy to inform you that the deadline is extended till 09th June'2023.

Bring up your ideas and suggestions and we are all ears!

Cheers

Samsung Members Team

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our community is brimming with ideas through which we can make your Galaxy experience better! Share your suggestions directly with our teams through Innovation Lab. Your feedback will be scrutinized to produce possible improvements in customer experience.

This week, we would like to look into Accessibility. Samsung Galaxy phones come with accessibility settings to help those with limited sight or hearing difficulties. For example, you can make the phone read messages aloud or light up whenever it detects a startling noise. There are also accessibility settings and customizations available for those who struggle with interaction and dexterity.

So, the topics are:

 1. Accessibility: Feedback on experiences with accessibility features and suggestions.

All you need to do is:

    1. Create a post detailing your idea/suggestion
    2. Include illustrations/diagrams/images or any detail you feel will help us understand it better
    3. Include #InnovationLab in your post title/subject


We will take a note of all your suggestions! This topic will be open till 26th May. 

Check out innovation lab#53 topics here.

We can’t wait for your innovative ideas!

Cheers

Samsung Members Team

      Talk back is not working well as sender name is shown wrong in whats app. Moreover tweets are read repeatedly despite clicking on other tweet. Composing mail in gmail is very difficult. Whats app status photo captions have become inaccessible #InnovationLab

      to get to know the constituents of a image one has to everytime click on describe image option in global context menu which also does not work mostly. The OCR optical character recognition can be significantly improved in samsung talk back. when describing any image the speaking out of the word "detected" is unnecessary and should be eliminated #InnovationLab

      leave alone the samsung and other social media apps, even the samsung whats app chat bot AI puts forward inaccessible button choices which talk back does not read aloud #InnovationLab
      Can't there be any way to experience stock android talk back in Samsung phones as the samsung talk back makes it even more difficult for PwD to navigate in basic mobile operations
      Please also suggest why no Samsung accessibility team is constituted for India despite being a huge market. If any such team regarding accessibility exists provide their contact details

      I have some requests for the Samsung Text to Speech engine. Their are the following:

      * Automatic switch in languages: Please give Automatically switch in between switching 2 and more than 2 languages.

      * Indian Languages voices: Please add more voices for Indian languages like English USA and English UK etc.
      * Delete and add languages in the Samsung TTS: Please give add and Delete languages features in the Samsung TTs only like Google TTS. Now we have to do these things from the separate interface.
      * Beta version: Please give beta version before releasing any official update so any bugs and issues can be detected in the beta testing faze and we will get near to issue free official update.
      * Make louder
      * Add clarity specially in Indian languages
      * Make faster

      I hope You will improve Samsung Accessibility as fast as possible and implement my requests as well. Thank you.
