Hello everyone!
I just want to ask, if there is a possibility to make the chess.com app on Android speak the current move out loud.
The standard TalkBack doesn't work quite well for me and is a complete overkill.
For me, it''s hard (or impossible most of the time) to see, which piece my opponent moved, so I always check the textual representation aside of the board, when I hear a move-sound.
It would be great, if the app just could say "Bishop to F4" or even a short version like "Qxc3#" would be nice.
I think, this would help many blind or low vision people, and it shouldn't be a big deal, since the AI-Tutors already talk using TTS or so.
So my question is: Is there already such a functionality hidden inside the app-settings, or is it planned to add such a feature in the near future?
The app is great for people with good eyes, and I assume it supports Screenreaders like TalkBack perfectly, but a Screenreader usually is a terrible overkill for people with rest-vision who just need "a little help".
So, there are only the two extremes, 0% and 100%, black and white, but a simple option to read out loud just the current position, would help a lot of people with low vision, which are not yet fully blind, i think.
What do you say?
Thanks for reading, and have a nice day! :)
