Help Talkback not working

For such an important app, I am surprised and disappointed that Talkback is so poor and flakey.

Does anybody know a consistent way of setting up talkback to get it to read continuously pages in an eBook? Getting it to start continuous reading is a chore. Sometimes a swipe right double tap works and sometimes not. Sometimes it gets to the end of the page and stops. Sometimes it randomly stops after several pages. Sometimes it stops when the screen locks.

I would have thought continuous reading is the most basic of functions and essential for someone visually impaired. This function when it works is so valuable. I have a stack of eBooks I simply do not have time to read. I would fly through them if I had a reliable TTS Reader.

Thanks for any help on this.

Tailback can often depend on what device you've actually got there. For example my Oppo absolutely sucks for English talkback.

What have you got, make, model and Android version? There's third-party talkback and voice apps on Google Play of course.
 
Hi mikedk,

My device details:
# Make - Samsung

Thanks for the Google Play tip. I will see what's available.
