This is a VERY cool video.
RantWoman wishes she had had such a clear simple intro when she first got her Pixel phone.
On the other hand, RantWoman is the sort of technology cowboy who tends to think instructions are for sissies; just put the device in my hand and I will figure it out or Google directions on some other device or...
Unfortunately, sometimes this means RantWoman has too much vision and half-learns accessibility tools that would make her life MUCH easier if she knew them better.
Anyway, watch the video and then try it and then read RantWoman's comments below.
Two things catch RantWoman's ear:
"granularity?" anyone want to guess or have one's techno-novice mother / grandmother or one's grade schooler guess what is meant by "granularity" here?
Interestingly, RantWoman thinks a novice user COULD figure out in context what "granularity" means if only the instructions were not being demoed by a sighted person.
WHY does RantWoman think these instructions are being demoed by a sighted person?
It's the same issue as when RantWoman is riding a bus and wants to know not only the stop she needs but also a few stops ahead as cues to stop whatever she might be doing, gather her belongings, and get ready to get off the bus.
In this case, some but not all the contents of menus and menu trees are not demonstrated. It will take a couple rounds of trial and error to get both the swipe patterns and the general layout of menus sorted out, but RantWoman WILL try some of the tips she has learned.
