Adjust the volume, speed, and pitch
You may want to increase the speed of the BlackBerry Screen Reader when you're surfing the Internet, or slow it down
when you're getting instructions. You might want to increase the volume when you're outside, or decrease it when you're at

BlackBerry Screen Reader gestures
The BlackBerry Screen Reader uses a combination of gestures that are used in other apps on your BlackBerry device and
gestures that are specific to the BlackBerry Screen Reader. Gestures that start at the edges of the screen (such as swiping
down from the top to access Settings or swiping up from the bottom to minimize an app) are the same in the Screen Reader
app as they are in all other apps. However, there are additional gestures that help you navigate when the BlackBerry
Screen Reader is turned on.
