# blindGram 10.0 Public Beta 2 widened Telegram 9.4.2 testing

blindGram 10.0 Public Beta 2 followed on February 12, 2023, a day after the restricted first beta, opening Telegram 9.4.2 testing to more screen reader users.

This is an archived beta announcement. Beta 1 had been for a small group and carried a clear do-not-install warning. A day later, Beta 2 was labelled a Public Beta: still a test build, still with the caution that problems could remain, but now meant for anyone willing to try the new Telegram base and report what they heard.

### What "public beta" meant

- The build was open to everyone, not only the first testers.
- The warning stayed. Things could still break.
- The point was accessibility feedback on Telegram 9.4.2 from real use, so that the final would fit the way screen reader users actually read and move through chats.

### What followed

Six days later, blindGram 10.1 Final shipped on the same base and made [Telegram topics accessible, with finer reply and media settings](/blog/2023-02-18/blindgram-10-1-topics-reply-controls/). The first, restricted beta is at [blindGram 10.0 Beta 1](/blog/2023-02-11/blindgram-10-0-beta-1-telegram-9-4-2/).

Betas are still posted in @blindGram_BETA2, and the current release is on the [download page](/download/).
