Android day Four: Equality Achieved
I complete Android customizations bringing me what feels like equality with IOS, at least for the base system.

@fastfinge lets see here. for an easy to use recorder, I use three different ones. ASR, HI-Q voice recorder, and EZ Voice recorder. I have personally paid for all three. it is a toss up which one is my favorite between ASR and Hi-Q voice recorder. both can save to google drive, and dropbox. now I will say that for Hi-Q you do need to have the latest version. I am not sure if the version I am using has come out of beta yet or not. if not, you will want to sign up to have access to the beta, because they fixed the dropbox part. ASR I paid for not only because I like it, but to get the adds out of the way. joining the beta for Hi-Q is very easy. once you are on its page in the playstore, just look for the heading that talks about the beta, and you will find a join beta button.

@JamminJerry I actually use One Drive, not dropbox. Do any of those apps support that?

@fastfinge I really like that blog and find it interesting even though I use android for months now. Interested if you will find something good for Miniflux, I'm also searching. Also luckily I have enough vision to, in an emergency, call 112 without a SR, but still I get that absolutely. Also I'm still with TalkBack because Yishus settings, as you mentioned in post 3, were just too overwhelming to me. I like the clean organized TalkBack, I have set it up how I want it to be, but yeah responsibility of the typing and some other stuff is nothing compared to my iPhone. And at this point I'm recommending a hybrid approach. I still use my iPhone now and then, cuz it's just faster for some things or I'm more used to. I wouldn't carry it around everywhere (I know people who do), but especially on longer trips or so I tend to have both for whatever might come.
But I still prefer Android as main because of some great features and Apps.

@jonathan859 I'm glad you're enjoying the series! I carry too much junk already when traveling; I'm not sure I can manage two phones at once LOL. Jieshuo is really overwhelming at the start, but once you get it going, it's way faster than TalkBack. You've just gotta spend a day at it. Now if only it would stay enabled...

@fastfinge Have you discovered Macrodroid yet? It's so cool, that you might even forget what an iPhone is.

@mcourcel I have not! From a brief glance it looks just like shortcuts, though. I've got a dozen or so of those on my iPhone that trigger regularly.
