What's new in accessibility
Your BlackBerry device is designed to help you stay productive with assistive technology for people with
disabilities and special requirements. BlackBerry continues to improve the accessibility features on your
BlackBerry device with updates to existing features and expanded gestures to use with the BlackBerry
Screen Reader.

top left of the screen.
