>For a blind person, the only way to use a mobile 
>phone without accessibility software is to know 
>it by heart. That is, you need to know that if 
>you press the Menu key and scroll down four 
>times, you will be at the Message folder. And, 
>when you get there, it is necessary to press the 
>right softkey to open Options. It’s difficult 
>to learn the different functions and memorize 
>them. This makes the phone largely inaccessible. 
>The Nokia Screen Reader provides a great alternative.

>The Nokia Screen Reader is an application that 
>converts screen content into speech. It’s 
>helpful not only for users with sight 
>limitations, but anyone who is not able to 
>dedicate their attention to the screen. For 
>example, it allows you to listen to text messages when you exercise.

>Besides calling and texting, the screen reader 
>is helpful for browsing the internet, accessing 
>call lists and contacts, and managing the 
>calendar. It works on touch screen devices and 
>those with a physical key pad. The reader 
>features a simple command structure which is 
>easy to remember, as well as a configurable 
>control panel. It’s available at launch in 
>eight different languages: English, Spanish, 
>French, German, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish and Italian.

>The Nokia Screen Reader can be downloaded from

>available before the end of the year for the C5 
>5 MP, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 with Symbian
