Why blindGram?
Accessibility is not an add-on
blindGram is an independent accessible client built from Telegram’s open-source Android code. Interface controls, spoken descriptions, and action paths are redesigned for complete screen-reader use, and they follow Android’s accessibility framework, so they work with the screen reader and home app you already use.
Users can choose and reorder spoken chat details, reach important actions faster, and use core Telegram features without depending on a visual interface.
