How to speak passwords in Android Jelly Bean

This page explains how you can setup your Android phone or tablet to read out passwords to you automatically to help fill them in correctly.

  • To activate the Accessibility features on your android device select ‘Settings’ under 'System' and then select ‘Accessibility’.
  • Headphones will be required if this option is not checked.
  • Tap to select Speak passwords to enable speech when you enter in passwords.

NOTE: These instructions apply to the standard version of Android as found in the Google Nexus range.  They also apply to other devices (as long as they are using the same operating system) but please be aware that there may be minor differences.  This is due to the custom ‘skins’ some companies apply to their mobile devices instead of the stock Android theme.
