I have some exciting news, but first, “Let me take a selfie!
Google accessibility has launched a major improvement to the Google camera app for people using Talkback on a Google Pixel or Google Nexus device running Nougat 7.1 or higher. Talkback will announce the number of faces and their position within the frame. It will also let you know what percentage of the frame is occupied by the face or faces. This way you can tell when the focus is centered and how close the camera is before snapping that all important shot. It works on both the front and rear facing cameras. I tested it on my Google Pixel, running Nougat 7.1.1, and it worked extremely well. If you have access to one of these devices, I highly suggest that you try it. It is a lot of fun!
