Dear, as you know, it is possible to run Android apps on top of recently
released BlackBerry devices. Has anyone tried running the Android screen
reader Talkback plus a synthesiser on BB, or rather using Android apps
with the native BB screen reader?

Thanks and greetings,
Cleverson

Talkback will not run on the BlackBerry.

Android apps use the native BlackBerry Screen reader.

John is right, it is not possible to use talkback on any of the blackberry devices.  Blackberry uses their own native screen reader, incorporating a voice which unless this has changed, is the Nuance voice Samantha for English.  Not sure about other languages, as I only use English myself.  I’m looking at a couple different options when I do upgrade my current phone so I may have a backup device as well.
