How do I activate the screen reader?

Hello:

I am a proud owner of a Priv, but would like to experiment with other Blackberry phones. I am almost totally blind, so will need to use the built-in screen reader. My understanding is that the screen reader is already on the Classic and Q10. I want to stay away from the Z series as those phones are touch screen only. Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to enable the screen reader once I unpack the phone and insert the Sim card? On my iPad mini, I just have to tap the home button three times to enable its screen reader. Is there anything similar on Blackberry phones?

Thanks.

Leslie

If you go into settings, then accessibity, in there you will find a short cut that you can turn on, along with other features.
