" summary

Android 13 ships with Braille display support in TalkBack that removes the BrailleBack app: refreshable displays connect natively, allow cursor routing and panning navigation, and support Braille input editing via the Braille keyboard (demo sends an email). Lookout adds images mode beta (June 2) that runs on‑device, generates precision‑first captions, labels objects, reads OCR text, and describes people’s upper‑body clothing and adult/youth where reliable. Live Transcribe gets offline mode (EN, JP, DE, FR, IT, ES); Sound Notifications gains personalized sound detection; Sound Amplifier gets a new UI and better noise cancellation.
