Mobile Accessibility is a screen-access application which allows people who are blind or have low vision to use an Android phone in an intuitive, easy and simple way.
Mobile Accessibility is two products in one:
- A suite of 12 accessible applications (Phone, Contacts, SMS, Alarm, Calendar, Email, Web, Where am I, Apps, Settings, Notes and Explorer) which have been especially designed for the blind and visually impaired. They all have a simplified interface whose textual information is spoken using Nuance Vocalizer voice synthesis or you can connect your Braille display for Braille output.
- A screen reader which allows you to get out of the suite and navigate the standard interface of your phone.

- Note that if you want to use the screen reader functionality of Mobile Accessibility you will need a phone with physical navigational controls such as a trackball or trackpad.
- Physical menu, home and back keys are recommended, but if the user is comfortable with touch sensitive buttons then it is OK to have a device with touch sensitive buttons.
