Screen is completely black, so good luck with the USB OTG mouse trick. Phone is a Galaxy A8 (2018).

    I just enabled (Android on Samsung phone) talk back while in bed late at night with sleeping partner.

    Warning, lol:

    Enabling this will change your phone’s input IMMEDIATELY and it will start making a LOT of sound that you cannot mute entirely.

    You select sections by tapping on them and the system will read them out to you, but to actually press them, you double tap the screen elsewhere. It will literally say double tap to activate, but I immediately turned my volume down as low as it could go and couldn’t hear it and started getting scared/frustrated that the entire input method of my phone changed and was out of control. I couldn’t even unlock my phone normally, and luckily had my face recognition enabled and screen bright enough to illuminate my face.

    So yeah, turning on the feature was a face first adventure. I’ll mess with it later because it seems cool, but…lol be aware.
