BlackBerry Screen Reader gestures

The BlackBerry Screen Reader uses a combination of gestures that are used in other apps on your BlackBerry device and gestures that are specific to the BlackBerry Screen Reader. Gestures that start at the edges of the screen (such as swiping down from the top to access Settings or swiping up from the bottom to minimize an app) are the same in the Screen Reader app as they are in all other apps. However, there are additional gestures that will help you navigate when the BlackBerry Screen Reader is turned on.

Note: There are also additional gestures used in specific apps, such as the BlackBerry Calendar app, the Phone app, BlackBerry Hub and on the home screen.
