Hey everyone, I'm completely blind, work out and lift 30 to 40 pound weights, and fill out a medium size shirt. My arms are about 40 centimeters, and I feel silly asking, but I'm curious if that's considered large. It's hard to compare myself, and I'd love feedback from others in this group. Also, does anyone else find it hard to get genuine feedback about their body type since loved ones tend to be positive? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently made the switch back to a Google Pixel 9 and I am genuinely enjoying the experience so far. The primary reason I moved away from iPhone was the dictation—I'm finding the Pixel’s voice typing to be significantly more accurate and reliable for my daily needs.

While the default Pixel launcher is pretty accessible, I’m looking to see if I can speed up my workflow even further. I have a few specific questions:

1. Launcher Recommendations: Does anyone have a recommendation for a launcher that is even more straightforward or "blind-friendly" than the stock Pixel one? I’m looking for something that minimizes clutter and works seamlessly with TalkBack gestures.2. Notification "Noise": One thing that is slowing me down is how TalkBack handles the notification shade. It currently announces "Collapsed" or "Expanded" before reading the actual content of every single notification. This adds a lot of extra speech to filter through. Does anyone know a way to toggle this off, or is there a specific verbosity setting I'm missing to make reading notifications more efficient?3. General Pixel/TalkBack Tips: For those who daily drive a Pixel, do you have any "pro tips" for speeding up your workflow? I’m loving the switch but I’m still in that phase of trying to make the phone feel as fast as my old iPhone setup.

I’d love to hear your suggestions or any "must-have" settings you all use to keep things snappy. Thanks in advance! . .
