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.
