Compare with Alternatives

| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS provides a dedicated Volume Key Page Turn switch in the reading interface. After it is enabled, the device volume buttons turn pages, and normal volume behavior returns after you exit WPS. | Word for Android officially describes document exploration through TalkBack gestures, reading controls, and interface navigation, but the official guidance does not describe a volume-button page-turn switch. | Google Docs on Android officially documents document navigation and keyboard shortcuts such as heading navigation and page up/down, but it does not describe page turning with device volume buttons. | Notion for mobile officially supports reading, editing, and commenting on pages on mobile devices, but its help content does not describe a volume-button page-turn feature for document reading. | Adobe Acrobat officially documents keyboard navigation, PDF page navigation, and reflow reading, but its official guidance does not describe Android page turning with device volume buttons. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS can use the phone's physical volume buttons directly for page turning in document reading. Distinct: after you exit WPS, the buttons return to normal system volume control. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance focuses on accessibility gestures and reading controls rather than a dedicated hardware-button page-turn option. | Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance focuses on keyboard shortcuts and structured navigation rather than hardware volume-button page turning. | Compared with WPS: Notion's mobile guidance focuses on page access and editing, not document page turning with hardware buttons. | Compared with WPS: Adobe provides PDF navigation and reflow reading, but its official guidance does not describe volume-button page turning on Android. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to reduce touch interaction while reading documents on Android, WPS offers a more direct hardware-button workflow. The official materials for the other products focus more on gestures, keyboard navigation, or general mobile reading and editing.
