My phone screen broke but everything else works fine except for the fact that I can’t see what’s happening on my phone, I was able to install an app which mirrors my phone and thus control my phone indirectly, but I was wondering if there was a way I could do basic functions like reading texts without seeing the screen. I mean, I am also curious what do people with visual disabilities use? Are there any apps like VoiceOver which help you read texts?
On android theres “Talkback” via the accessbility settings not sure if that does everything you want though
hey… I actually ended up enabling TalkBack Thank you! It’s quite good. I mean, you gotta get the hang of it though. This whole ordeal has made me appreciate the efforts visually impaired people put into living their lives much more. I can’t handle a bloddy phone, imagine living your life like this.

Android phones have USB debugging options, which can be used to mirror the screen in another device (with input too). Besides that, you can take screenshots and read them by connecting the phone with USB and looking at the generated image files.
I once turned a phone with a broken screen into a server like this. It took a good amount of fiddling and guessing where exactly a button is, but it works.
