[BB 9320] Blackberry Screen Reader

Hello. first, sorry for bad english.
i've installed the blackberry screen reader on it, and it is very functional, on calls and messaging.
However, when i go to the phone book or in phone settings, the Screen reader mess up and start to read only half the informations.
if normally, at the first screen, says "operator, time, battery, signal", it now says only the operator.
the only solution is to restart the phone. always. always. always. always. always.
anyone with the same issue?
thanks

Hello khronos and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with the BlackBerry Screen Reader application.
Does this issue seem to happen only in the Address Book and the Settings?
After the restart does the application work properly upon first usage? If so, how many times of accessing does it work until this happens?
What software version does your Curve 9320 have installed?
Thanks!

Blackberry Screen Reader, features and functions

Gestures when using the Blackberry Screen Reader indicates that to “Pan or scroll a list” that an audio cue indicates that the scrolling action is complete, and the BlackBerry Screen Reader updates the point of regard so that you can continue reading from the new location.
Swipe up with two fingers to scroll toward the top. Swipe down with two fingers to scroll toward the bottom. This action sets a new point of regard.
Q: Do you first have to set the list as the point of regard to enable scrolling?
Q: Does the size of the Text Chunk have any baring on the scrolling action?

Great information! Will keep this in mind when I get my Classic. Thanks!

Difficult Situation with BlackBerry Screen Reader

Hello,
I have a friend living in Europe where Blackberry Support is very scarce. She is also Visually Impaired so getting information back and forth will be very difficult and but I am hopping that someone here will be able to help.
She has a Blackberry Curve 9360 with the new app Screen Reader.
Her problem is that the app slows the phone down 40 to 50% then without it. It also causes the phone to randomly crash where the only fix is a battery pull.
My question is, Does anyone have any experience with the Screen Reader App? Is this a common Problem? Any Fixes?
Like I said if you have any questions for me to ask, it might take a while for them to be answered.
Thank you,
Dejan Z.

They may be experiencing these issues as a result of low device memory.

Does 9720 support the screen reader app

Hello,
I havent bought a Blackberry yet but i am looking for a phone which has a hardware keyboard and also talks back to you, for my wife who recently became blind.
Can i install the screenreader app on a 9720?
I want a SIM free phone which has a keyboard and also has a screen reader or talkback, and it is proving very difficult to find one.

Hi @derekstorkey! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Yes you can install the screan reader app on older BlackBerry Devices. However, I looked at the 9720's Manuals and I can't find any documentation that it supports the app, so I can't assure you that this specific model supports that. For more information about downloading and installing BlackBerry Screen Reader, visit www.blackberry.com/screenreader
Have you tried considering BlackBerry10 devices? They come preloaded with Screen Reader and you don't have to download anything. Try the Q10 or the BlackBerry Classic

Screen Reader Problem

I can't turn the screen reader feature off. The touch screen on my Z10 doesn't work while it's on. I have to back up and reinstall every thing every time it comes on, which happens a lot. Please help me disable the app; I'm desperate. At present, I hate my BB Z10 because of this app. Thank you.

Screen reader in FL1.1

Is there anyway to get a screen reader to work in conjunction
with flash lite 1.1 so that it can read out existing messages
stored in the phones inbox and also allow it to read out loud when
you are creating a message...
any help is appreciated....

Yes, the Screen Reader in the Passport and any BlackBerry10 model is enabled by quick tapping the top edge power button three times. You will hear a tone and see an on-screen confirmation to enable.
Disable with the same 3x power button tap.

Screen reader vowels problem in italian language

I bought a curve 9320 for my daughter, blind from birth. The phone with the screen reader in Italian language are really fantastic. Unfortunately, while entering text, the screen reader emits an echo only for the consonants, not for the vowels. This is a problem for use. Does anyone have suggestions?

Q10 frozen during booting on Blackberry screen - is it dead?

HI i have my Q10 for more then one year and moreless except couple restarts or frozen situation was working fine. Today i have restarted it (due to not responding settings)and during booting in stuck on Blackberry screen and that all.
I found that more people have faces this situation but i have not found any exact solution.
I have tried to take out battery and sim form more then one hour and then start it again.. No success
It is charging on wall charger more then one hour, took out battery put back.. No success.
Tried to restart via poewer button couple times. No success.
I am quite furious now as I was strong blackberry fan and now seems that it let me down...
I have no idea what to do as i am not using Blackberry link, and If i am loosing my contacts or data I will be really considering my stay with BB for future.
Has anybody real solutiuon what to do please? Thanks

Hello,
It sounds like you have tried things close to this, but not quite this. Therefore, please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails to help, then please retry but increase the wait time in step 4 to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.

Really? You ignored the fact that this computing device, like ALL of them, is prone to error and imperfection, and thereby chose not to conduct a backup via any of the FREE methods BB provides? And for this you blame BB? Backups, like insurance, are neither a reactive nor an optional activity.
A backup would be required in order to proceed via any other recovery methods. But, with the state your BB is in, there is little chance of taking such a backup now. So, if all else fails, I would recommend you reload your OS via AutoLoader and see if it can at least get your BB running again. Without that backup which you chose to never do, you of course will have to start over, taking the hard lesson of migrating from the latter to the former of this old saying:
There are two kinds of computing device users -- those who have lost data, and those who will

Z10 Screen goes blank, when restarted now rotates between blackberry screen and blue loading screen

Last week I was having issues with my blackberry where the screen was going blank and I had to restart the phone. I had recently installed a software update and so when I took it into Telus the guy explained that the sotware may not hae installed correctly so he walked me through the blackberry restore steps via blakcberry link. So I did restore my blackberry.
But a couple days later, it's back to its old tricks - the screen just goes black and I have to restart it. The trouble it is won't currently restart. At the moment it is rotating between the black and white "Blackberry" screen and the blue loading screen.
Was I unlucky enough to have the software install incorrectly both times, or is there something else going on?

Blue loading screen? That is hardly known to be a "loading screen".... does the device get out of the blue screen by itself or you have to intervene?

Check box in a table not being read on auto read by JAWS(Screen Reader)

Hi Experts,
I am working on Accessible pages in ADF. Check box in table is not being read on "Auto Read" function by jaws. Auto read is a function that allows the user to start the screen reader at the top of the page and read the entire thing that is provided by JAWS. I have even specified label property for af:selectBooleanCheckbox. Can anyone help me regarding this issue.
Regards,
Santosh.

Firefox is no longer compatible with a screen reader programs why?

Firefox 4.0 is no longer compatible with screen reader programs such as zoom text. I'm a visually impaired user and have never had problems until now. I want to revert back to 3.5 because now 4.0 is useless to me. If it isn't broken don't fix it. Mozilla just made things worse for me. Thanks a lot.

Your screen reader is no longer compatible because it's author has not updated it for FF4
Credit Tony E
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

After upgrade to iOS 8.3 screen reader in iBooks crashes

It happened on my iPhone 4S and iPad Air today After an upgrade.
When in iBooks, screen reader reads the page on the screen, finishes reading the text, turns the page but gives up (crashes?) immediately after. the reader "toolbar" simply disappears.
Before the upgrade it would turn the page and continue reading. Not anymore.
google doesn't seem to know anything about this.
Can anyone else confirm the behaviour? I tried it on several PDFs - the same behaviour.

at jpetr1
Your observation is right. I am facing the same issue after upgrading to iOS 8.3. The trial and error was common with Microsoft .. it seems Apple is catching up with MS .
I hope they address this issue quickly.

Status bar text is not read by Screen reader.

Dear Colleagues,
In my Java application(Java Swings), I use a status bar to show the status of application for user. In String XML file, I use the status message type as 'XMSG'. This perticular text is not read by the SCREEN READER. This is tested during the 'Accessibility Testing'. Could some one tell me the reason for the text being not read by Screen reader? Any special settings needed in xml file or any other place, which enables the text to be read by the screen reader?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Anup,
Thank you for your responce.
Yes, I am able to access the XML in browser properly, without any error/warnings.
