BlackBerry Screen Reader
The BlackBerry Screen Reader is an assistive technology that lets users with vision impairment interact with their
BlackBerry 10 device using speech output. The BlackBerry Screen Reader uses text-to-speech (TTS) to read screen
content, such as documents, email messages, text messages (SMS or MMS), titles and properties of media files, and other
text-based information. The
BlackBerry Screen Reader also provides navigation cues by reading screen layout information,
such as menu titles, page numbers, and links.
