Lulu-Ann,
At this time there isn't a general Java Micro Edition "accessibility
API", which is the way a screen reader like Orca would get the
information it needs from a JavaME app in order to make it accessible to
blind folks. The closest thing available is the work being done by RIM
to make the Blackberry line of phones accessible via the commercial
Orator screen reader. This is an API-based approach. See
http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/products/blindness/orator_for_blackberry_smartphones/_details/id_131/orator_for_blackberry_smartphones.html
for the public / end-user info about Orator, as well as the FAQ at
http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/support/orator_for_blackberry_smartphones/frequently_asked_questions__orator_for_blackberry_smartphones\\

Hello list,
does Orca run und mobile devices and is it able to read from Java programs? (J2ME)
Or is there another non commercial screen reader?
I want to code a non graphics Java navigation software using free geodata.

Thanks
