  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open your device's Settings app and then Google and then Manage your Google Account.
  2. At the top, tap Personal info.
  3. Under "General preferences for the web," tap Accessibility.
  4. Turn Screen reader on or off.

You might need to follow extra steps to set up your screen reader for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Drawings.
