The tiles on the smartphone screen will make operating Android trouble-free. Here are Action Blocks
New application for Android - Action Blocks - which significantly facilitates the use of the phone for people with disabilities. It allows you to create simple and legible widgets on the screen that can perform quite complex functions.
Operating a typical telephone is no longer overly complicated. Android in most of its varieties - and its competitors - have been designed so that every person can comfortably and intuitively use its functionality. But ... are you sure? Some of us may have problems with service and it's not about resourcefulness or knowledge. For people with physical or mental disabilities, for completely independent reasons, using the phone can be a challenge.
Google, like its competitors, is also trying to meet such users. His latest initiative is the Action Blocks app for Android Lollipop or newer. It lets you put functional widgets on the screen, easy to find and hit with your finger.
Google Action Blocks is such a Google Touch Assistant.
This is not an overly distant comparison, because the application uses similar mechanisms as the Google Assistant. The difference is that the Assistant gives short commands for complex actions - for example, enable my favorite playlist on Spotify - and using Action Blocks instead of issuing the command, click the large tile.
The tiles on the main screen can be configured almost freely - they can do exactly the same as the Google Assistant. So we can, for example, create a tile to send an SMS to my granddaughters or navigate me to the nearest grocery store and turn off the lights in the bedroom . Of course, this is a small fragment of many examples.
The application is now available for download. It also seems very easy to use: the creation of subsequent tiles is facilitated by an intuitive wizard that guides the user step by step and informs what and why it is possible to do. It is worth getting interested - and still helping our grandparents, grandmothers and disabled relatives in installation and configuration.
