Choose Easy screen turn on to see a demonstration of how to wave your hand over the phone to unlock it.

Go to Settings &gt; Display &gt; Navigation Bar to access a menu that allows you to toggle on a Show and Hide button, change the color of the navigation bar, adjust the pressure sensitivity when you press the Home button, unlock your phone with the Home button, and change the layout of the navigation bar. Customize your keyboard for one-handed (or fat-fingered) operation: If the layout or design of the Samsung keyboard is awkward, you can control how your keyboard looks, and how it works.

To get the navigation bar back, swipe up from the bottom of the phone, then tap the Show and Hide button twice again to lock the navigation bar back into place. If the keyboard is difficult to use with one hand, from within the open keyboard, tap the downward-pointing arrow in the right corner, then select One-handed keyboard. The keyboard shrinks and slides to one side for easy single-handed operation.

Or maybe you want a text-to-speech option for your messages and emails? You can do those things with the Galaxy Note 9 if you know how: Put Bixby Vision to work: Even if you're not a fan of Samsung’s voice assistant, Bixby, you can still use Bixby Vision with your camera as an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool. Simply enable Bixby Vision on your camera, select the Text option, then point your camera at any text and snap a picture.

Bixby captures and transcribes the text, and translates words that are in a different language. You can then copy and paste or share the text with other applications. Use the S Pen Translate function to read text: Using the Note 9 S Pen Translate function is a handy feature.

Now you can highlight and translate blocks of text.To hear the selected text read aloud, tap the speaker icon in the translation box.

03 of 04 <h2> Customize the Note 9 Display </h2> <br/> The functionality from previous versions of the Note is still available, so it should be easy to customize things like the Edge Panel and Always On Display. But you can also make some changes to the Galaxy Note 9 to make the display more user-friendly: Use Glance to monitor action in other windows: Samsung App Pairs are a great way to work with two apps simultaneously, but what if you don't need to work with two apps and only want to monitor one?

Glance is Samsung's equivalent of picture-in-picture and it lets you drop an app into a smaller window in the bottom corner of your screen. Once activated, you can move the smaller window to any location on the screen that's convenient; increase the size of the app to full screen by hovering your pen tip over the app. To activate an app in Glance: Open the app, remove your S Pen, then choose Glance from the Air Command menu.

Two of the top safety features you should check out are SOS Alerts and Blue Light Filter: Send SOS messages without turning on the phone: Go to Settings &gt; Advanced Settings &gt; Send SOS messages to enable this safety feature. When enabled, you can choose to attach pictures and attach audio recordings to send pictures taken with the cameras or a 5-second audio message to your emergency contacts when you quickly press the Power key three times. If you&#39;re often on your own, this is one safety feature you don&#39;t want to be without.
