Do you want to read a text showed in the screen of the phone or a text in the image?

Did you search for "TTS" (Text to Speech) in the forum?

Did you see this thread:

is not it

I want to know if there is a way to read the text on the screen and save it to a variable.

I want to read a text shown on the phone.

I wanted to do kind of an "inspect element"

I get the name of the screen controls, to make a control application for blind.

You can enable TalkBack in your device settings to see the built-in accessibility features. You can create your own accessibility app. It requires implementing an accessibility service. There is currently no library or example that implements this service.

Could I get something with the Accessbility library that already comes with basic4android?

It seems that the only alternative would be to create a library

If you contact me by PM, we could probably figure out a solution.
