This is much easier for them in quiet environments or when there is low background noise.

However, it should be clear that to use it (and according to the type of user and their experience with mobile devices) it is necessary to spend some time learning how it works and familiarising oneself both with the chosen accessibility solution, with the workings of the device itself and the apps to be used.
