what's new in talkback 16.0
Gemini AI Image Description Enhancements
TalkBack 16.0 introduces two new features for detailed image descriptions: describing the entire screen and asking follow-up questions.
Describing the Entire Screen
Previously, detailed image descriptions only worked for the currently focused item. With TalkBack 16.0, a new option allows capturing a screenshot of the entire screen and sending it to Gemini for description. To use this, open the TalkBack menu and select “Describe screen.” You can also assign a gesture for this feature in the Customize gestures section of TalkBack settings.
Asking Follow-Up Questions
TalkBack now supports follow-up questions after receiving an image description, whether it’s for the focused item or the whole screen. In the description results window, double-tap “Ask Gemini” to speak your question, or “Type question” to enter it manually.
• When using voice, the question is sent automatically after you stop talking.
• When typing, press the Done key on Gboard or use the appropriate braille gesture to send the question.
Answers are spoken aloud when received, and you can review the conversation through touch exploration or swiping. Next to each description or answer, there are thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to give feedback. To close the window, press the Close button or use the Back gesture.
Table Navigation
Google introduced table navigation by columns and rows in TalkBack 16.0. When a table is in focus, select the rows and columns reading control to start table navigation. Then swipe right or left to navigate between columns, or swipe down or up to navigate between rows.
To exit table navigation and return swipes to their normal functions, switch to any other reading control. Note that you can add “columns” and “rows” as reading control items, allowing you to switch to the desired item and navigate using up and down swipes. Additionally, you can assign gestures to move to the next or previous row, and to the next or previous column.
It is also possible to start table navigation automatically when a table is focused by enabling the option “Automatically switch to table navigation reading control when entering a table” found in Advanced settings.
Repeat and Spell Last Spoken Phrase Can Now Be Assigned to Gestures
With TalkBack 16.0, it is now possible to assign the existing TalkBack functions Repeat last spoken phrase and Spell last spoken phrase to any available gesture. To do this, open TalkBack settings and select Customize gestures. Then choose the desired gesture and double-tap the function to assign it.

The Add-on Store’s automatic update system has been improved, allowing you to select channels for automatic updates, and run automatic updates in the background.
It’s now easier to manually refresh OCR and toggle automatic refresh, with new commands.
Native selection is now available in Chrome and Edge.
Microsoft Office and LibreOffice support has improved, notably with more shortcuts being announced.
