Accessible Way to Take a Selfie Using TalkBack and Android Nougat 7.1.

In this episode, James Oates shows off a new accessibility feature which allows anyone using an Android phone running Nougat 7.1 or higher. If you open the camera app, and you have Talkback 5.1 or higher running, Talkback will automatically give feedback concerning how many people are in the frame, if the faces are centered, and what percentage of the screen is occupied by the face or faces. This is a great way for a person who is blind to take selfies and capture important moments.
James also shows us how to give the photo a description, and share it to social media, cloud drive services, or by email.
