Explore by Touch is an Android operating system’s feature for their non-sighted users. This feature is integrated into Talkback, the screen reader that is built into the Android Operating System. Explore by Touch allows the non-sited android users to touch the mobile screen and hear what’s present under the finger. User can drag the finger through-out the screen and understand the items available. Remember Talkback screen reader should be switched on to use explore by touch. Explore by touch can be disabled or the preferences can be changed at Settings > Accessibility > TalkBack > Settings > Explore by Touch.
