I love the accessibility button stick figure in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. I use it for listening to articles for long postings that I don't feel like reading and I actually used it for reading a book that didn't come in audiobook version. Was a little bit of a pain because I can only do a page at a time but it got me through it and the voice was similar to the voice of the author believe it or not.

So he's my problem, for some reason I cannot use it on emails. Does that make any sense to any of you? I believe it has red text that was on a jpeg so why couldn't it read the email?
 
It's a little flaky as I'm sure you'be noticed. Instead of opening an email and swiping right to get to the body of text, touch the body of text instead. That should read the first part and then you can swipe through it as normal.

A couple of other tips... You can turn talkback on and off by pressing and holdingthe both volume buttons at the same time. You may like the accesibility button, but I hate it lol.

For reading an article in chrome, it's far more convenient to just summon Google Assistant and ask it to "read this article/page". This will also work in some apps, but it's hit and miss.
