    Hello, Dear Reader!
    The site team is doing everything to convey to its readers the most reliable information about tablets. But if you are already using it, we will be very grateful if you write your review, because it is the opinion of users that is more valuable than any review and test!
    Thank you in advance!

    We recently purchased a seven-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab-4 tablet, model number SM-T231, with Android 4.4.2 pre-installed on it. We purchased it specifically not for my needs, but for the needs of sighted relatives. But I still managed to voice it and play with this device for several days.

    He succumbed to voice acting as usual, as usual - this is common on many Samsung devices. You just had to follow the path:

    • Settings\Devices\Accessibility\TalkBack;

    And set the switch there, which is located at the top of the display, to the “ON” position. After which TalkBack launched and began speaking in Natalia’s built-in Russian voice. Also on the tablet it is possible to download voice synthesizers of higher quality for free, these are two voices from Samsung with the names Katya and Yura:

    Only the instructions indicate a tab called "My Devices", but on the tablet it is called "Devices". And you don’t need to register a Samsung account here, which I also encourage you to check this yourself at the bottom of the instructions. You just need to connect to Wi-Fi and follow the specified path in the instructions, where you will find two Russian voices, next to them there will be a “Download” button.

    In a nutshell, I’ll tell you how to get into the system settings. The tablet has a physical “Home” button and two touch ones on the edges of it. On the right is the back button, on the left brings up a list of recently used applications. Previously, the left button on the desktop opened functions where you could find “Settings,” but Samsung, for reasons unknown to me, reassigned it. Now, unfortunately, I didn’t find how to quickly get into the settings from the desktop. Well, nothing, in principle, there are other alternative convenient methods:

    1. At the bottom of the display on the right, there is an “Applications” button, press it, and there you can find the settings. By tapping twice on the icon with your finger held, we bring it to the desktop.
    2. Having opened the notification panel curtain, we see the “System Settings” icon at the top right of the display, double-tap on it, and we are already in the tablet settings.

    I also want to draw your attention to the fact that when you walk through the tablet’s settings, the screen is divided into two halves. That is, for example, go to settings, select the “Devices” tab, a list of items that are tied specifically to this tab will be displayed on the left side of the display. We find the “Special Features” section, select it, and the contents of the items in this section will be displayed on the right side of the display. You can, as it were, in the touch study mode, touch the items assigned to the “Devices” tab on the left, and touch the items assigned to the “Special Features” section on the right.

    1. There's no motion sensor, so there's no way to pause TalkBack.
    2. The sound of the multimedia speaker has a lot of high frequencies, because of this, at full sound volume, it is slightly blocked when speaking TalkBack on Katya’s voice synthesizer. On Yura's voice synthesizer, things are a little better. I thought it was just me who was so lucky with the multimedia speaker, but I read the reviews on the World Wide Web and was convinced that I was not alone here.
    3. Split screen in the settings also seemed less convenient to me here than how it is implemented in my Galaxy S3 smartphone. Well, of course, all this is subjective and may turn out to be a matter of simple habit.
    1. Voice acting for a tablet out of the box without installing unnecessary third-party software.
    2. Free download of male and female high-quality speech voices from Samsung.
    3. The availability of Samsung devices, as always, is at an acceptable level for us.
