Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to providing talk back automation for applications installed on a mobile device. To do so actions (e.g., talk back features) can be created, via the digital assistant, by recording a series of events that are typically provided by a user of the mobile device when manually invoking the desired action. At a desired state, the user may select an object that represents the output of the application. The recording embodies the action and can be associated with a series of verbal commands that the user would typically announce to the digital assistant when an invocation of the action is desired. In response, the object is verbally communicated to the user via the digital assistant, a different digital assistant, or even another device. Alternatively, the object may be communicated to the same application or another application as input.
