Auto Scroll Text View when Talkback is enabled in Android

Question

In android, when "Talk back" is enabled and it reads text from a Overflow Scrollable TextView, it keeps on reading the entire text without scrolling. So it also reads the text that is not visible on screen. Is there a way by which we can make the TextView to auto scroll along with the text that "Talk back" is reading.

Answer 1

No. The body of this answer must be 30 characters.

Seriously though, there is no way to do this. This is a platform limitation. You could consider chunking your text into multiple views. This is generally more accessible as large blocks of text take a long time for TalkBack to read and can be frustrating for users.
