The visually impaired user benefits from the numerous physical buttons, including a full physical keyboard. Five buttons on the device are less tactile. These buttons include the answer, end, menu, back and end/off. While these buttons are flush with the device they are still used for the visually impaired once <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="743fd1e44d562ef5a40a908a83127c2b7a5c822f" grtype="null" id="GRmark_743fd1e44d562ef5a40a908a83127c2b7a5c822f_there:0">there</span> location has been memorized. To be clear these buttons depress when pressed. The physical keyboard makes it possible to <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/eyes-free-typing-with-fleksy-for-iphone.html">type eyes-free</a>. Once you move away from the physical buttons and start navigating the screen, a <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/kurzweil-3000-firefly-ipad-app-released.html">text-to-speech</a> voice begins speaking everything under your cursor. The BlackBerry I tested had a very loud speaker that made hearing the voice <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="c08fb7eb7173c61e239e0babc0a660d492756c5c" grtype="null" id="GRmark_c08fb7eb7173c61e239e0babc0a660d492756c5c_easy:0">easy</span>. To navigate the cursor you can use the <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="6a3f35668d9654f95945fdcc052d9ca89f2b9d28" grtype="null" id="GRmark_6a3f35668d9654f95945fdcc052d9ca89f2b9d28_trackpad:0">trackpad</span>.

Also, I found it helpful to turn on audible clicks when the cursor moves from one object to another. The <a href="http://blogs.blackberry.com/2012/05/blackberry-screen-reader/">BlackBerry Screen Reader</a> also excels with the use of keyboard shortcuts. For example you can press a key combination to speak the time. Users can change the speech rate, verbosity and pitch.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Overall the BlackBerry Screen Reader is a solid screen reader that makes the BlackBerry accessible for visually impaired users. It is not as polished as other mobile screen readers such as Apple's <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/07/ios-voiceover-overview.html"><span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="43bb935085c413479bcef5fdafb3be41f077719f" grtype="null" id="GRmark_43bb935085c413479bcef5fdafb3be41f077719f_VoiceOver:0">VoiceOver</span></a>. <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="0c8b0bd5dfccc24fc6a861480ee44a25b88586b1" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0c8b0bd5dfccc24fc6a861480ee44a25b88586b1_BlackBerry Screen Reader:0">BlackBerry Screen Reader</span> may not work with third party apps. Some work could be done in streamlining operations and stability. Also, the screen reader should be built into the BlackBerry from the start.

Prizmo Vs. TextDetective OCR iPhone App Challange

<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rGh4BYMnlJY" width="560"></iframe></div><br /><a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo</a> and TextDetective are optical charactor recognition (<a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a>) apps for the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-accessibility-features.html">iPhone</a>. These apps use the iPhone camera to take a picture of a document and then convert the text on the paper to digital text. Because the apps rely on the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-accessibility-features.html">iPhone</a> camera they work best on the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-accessibility-features.html">iPhone 4S</a>. The apps were compared using a complex image with multiple images and columns. Both apps were used in a room with good lighting. Watch the video above to learn more about each of the apps.<br /><br /><a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo</a> costs $9.99 in the App Store. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=prizmo%20app&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fprizmo-document-scanning-ocr%2Fid366791896%3Fmt%3D8&ei=VUQZUMenFISj6wGUyoHQAw&usg=AFQjCNGSgD7qzmoUoMeHdUM9tey2fKtQ2A&sig2=H0T8OBWuQ3yRpildkHC7rA">Click here</a> to download <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo. Prizmo</a> is the fastest most accurate user friendly <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a> app that I have ever tested. It is designed for sighted users. It allows you to crop and edit the picture before you start the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a> process. Once the text has been recognized you can read it using text-to-speech, email it or copy the text. It is important to note that users with visual impairments may have a hard time taking pictures of the documents they want to <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a>. It also is impossible for a visually impaired user to crop the document to improve the accuracy. That being said for sighted users very easy to use.<br /><br />TextDetective costs $1.99 for a limited time. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textdetective/id541494875?mt=8">Click here</a> to download TextDetective. TextDetective is designed for people with visual impairments. The app is designed to make taking a picture of a document easy for the visually impair. In my tests I had a hard time taking a clear picture of a whole document. I could successfully capture a clear picture of one or two paragraphs. TextDetective was less accurate and slower than Prizmo. One problem I found is that TextDetective only works in landscape orientation but most documents are in portrait orientation. The orientation of the app makes it difficult to  take a crisp picture of the page. In all for only $1.99 TextDetective may be worth a try.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU8-KRX_nKBrdWkxGkKPLb0PblE2jzaZDPYi2vlgrNdvWFwlY7DXmqyjzkPGYPj9XE9PQWEADZTqxh8VTtq33TPBF5tFVEBXVIheQ7UM25fTcuJHXzPw_Io5nZe4TzvEkJoHXvJgv9kE/s1600/iTunesArtwork.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blindsight" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU8-KRX_nKBrdWkxGkKPLb0PblE2jzaZDPYi2vlgrNdvWFwlY7DXmqyjzkPGYPj9XE9PQWEADZTqxh8VTtq33TPBF5tFVEBXVIheQ7UM25fTcuJHXzPw_Io5nZe4TzvEkJoHXvJgv9kE/s200/iTunesArtwork.png" title="TextDetective App Icon HD" width="200" /></a><a href="http://cdn.iextract.quadrat4.com/images/59b821c05384caa5ffc2e5d5d106c2de.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="abc abc" border="0" height="200" src="http://cdn.iextract.quadrat4.com/images/59b821c05384caa5ffc2e5d5d106c2de.jpg" title="Prizmo app icon" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: right;">Apps Provided Complimentary To Reviewer</div>
