Until now, there is no justification or an official denial from RIM regarding this matter. However, RIM currently developing an application that can help people with limited vision in order to easily access and operate their BlackBerry smartphone.
Comment :
The previous months HumanWare launched application called Oratio. The Oratio is application based on screen reader that converts the information presented visually on the BlackBerry smartphone screen into speech output. This would be a good combination between HumanWare and RIM, because RIM applications based on key press and HumanWare application is based on screen reader.
