Last update made it more difficult to use. Keeps stopping after one sentence at most or reads everything on screen. No setting to adjust this default, and getting into the app setting is something you have to be quick to do, as the reader auto shuts down after reading. It is also not obvious if this is a 3rd party app or part of your phone settings. I used to be able to copy several paragraphs a text note and have it read the entire thing, now I have to keep click on every sentence.

Talkback is a disappointment. Yes, it is incredibly beneficial for the blind, restoring basic function, and in that sense, it's a success as an accessibility feature. However, as the only built-in text to speech option for android, it is an incredible failure. There are more use-cases for text to speech than just reading every title, widget, icon, and finally textbox on the screen. Those features that are great for the blind make it utterly unusable for everyone else.

I'm pretty sure this is being used for malicious reasons. It has some wonderful features for those who need it. But I believe security-wise some things have been overlooked or ignored because my device shows usage of features I have never used in my Chrome logs. I've never used a switch device or know how. So I'm not positive about this, but based on odd things happening on my device that shouldn't and finding that, I believe features can be used for device access. And not just your own.
