Mobile Accessibility is a suite of accessible applications and a screen reader for the Android’s standard user interface especially designed for people who are blind. Mobile Accessibility is created by Code Factory. Code Factory is a well known company in its accessible products such as Mobile Speak screen reader for Nokia’s Symbian phones and Nokia Free Screen Reader. The Mobile Accessibility suite of accessible applications provides powerful and efficient access to modern-day mobile phone features such as:
Support for Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) mobile devices.

- Touch friendly: You can use Mobile Accessibility with the trackball or the physical keyboard of your phone if there is one, but also with the touchscreen! You will only have to move around the screen and the voice synthesis will read the text under your finger. This includes typing text using the touch screen with our new virtual keyboard. In fact, no physical keyboard is required to use any of the features of Mobile Accessibility.
- Voice Synthesis: We’ve been making mobile phones accessible to people who are blind and low vision for many years now, and we know that the voice matters... and a lot! So we partnered with the text-to-speech provider who makes one of the most popular voices within the blind community: Nuance®! We are thus very happy to announce that Nuance® Vocalizer® will be the voice of Mobile Accessibility.
- Speech Recognition: If you have an Android phone with version 2.2 and above you'll be able to activate the speech recognition from anywhere inside Mobile Accessibility and type text. Imagine writing an SMS or an E-mail using your voice only?
- Screen Reader: So, what happens if you need to exit Mobile Accessibility and use the standard phone interface? No problem. Mobile Accessibility also makes use of Android's Accessibility API and works as a screen reader. Of course, the functionality is limited to what the API provides, but it is enough in order to do some basic things such as changing some phone settings. In addition, the virtual keyboard and speech recognition (if available) can be used with many popular applications and programs outside of Mobile Accessibility.
