First 2009 update of Mobile Speak for Symbian phones Support for the
latest Samsung and Nokia phones, new Acapela voices and new built-in
user dictionary feature.
Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, January 29th, 2009
It's only January, but Code Factory is pleased to announce that its
first update for Mobile Speak for Symbian Phones in 2009 is now
available free-of-charge to our valued customers. Version 3.80 includes
support for new mobile phones and voices, implementation of unique new
features as well as significant improvements in terms of stability and
voice responsiveness.
Support for new phones
- Mobile Speak is the first screen reader to support Samsung Symbian
3rd
Edition phones, including: Samsung i450, Samsung i550, Samsung i7110,
Samsung i8510 INNOV8, Samsung G810, and Samsung L870.
- As usual, Mobile Speak supports the latest Nokia Symbian 9.2 and
9.3
phones. These include: Nokia E63, Nokia N79, Nokia N85 and Nokia AT&T
6650.
Text-to-speech improvements
- *Support for new Acapela voices*: Finnish Sanna HQ, Czech Eliska
HQ,
Canadian French Louise HQ, UK English Peter HQ, UK English Rachel HQ,
Spanish Maria HQ, US Spanish Rosa HQ, Swedish Elin HQ, Italian
Vittorio
HQ, Polish Ania HQ and Norwegian Vegard. All existing Acapela voices
have also
been improved, so current Acapela users will need to update their TTS
packages.
- *Improved responsiveness and quality of Loquendo voices*. The
Loquendo
Common package has changed, so all Loquendo TTS users should update
this
package to benefit from increased responsiveness and voice quality.
- *T**he Nokia and Nokia HQ voices are now registered automatically*
when
another voice is registered on the phone (either trial or commercial
license). A separate license number is no longer needed for these
voices.
A list of the Nokia phones which support the built-in Nokia HQ voices
can

New features
- *Built-in user dictionary* manager which allows users to add,
replace,
and modify the user dictionary for all voices installed on the phone.
For
example if you often receive SMS messages with acronyms which are not
pronounced in the way that you prefer, you can create entries to the
user
dictionary permitting, for example "ASAP" to be replaced with "as
soon as
possible", "PTMM" with "please tell me more", "LOL" with "laugh out
loud",
etc.
- Mobile Speak now speaks the *mini Symbol Table*, on supported
devices.
This table appears as a horizontal list in the first menu item when
pressing
the * key within an editor in most new devices. Simply navigate left
and
right with the joystick to hear all recent symbol entries, and press
enter
to select the current symbol. If the desired symbol is not in the
list,
press the joystick down and then press Enter to open the standard
symbol
table.
- *Command feedback*: Feedback is given when pressing either of the
softkeys, the joystick enter key, or the menu key. This option is
configurable through the Mobile Speak control panel (it is Off by
default
in
Normal and Low verbosity, On in high verbosity, and user configurable
in
Custom verbosity).
- *3G status *is now spoken (if it is available), when pressing
Mobile
Speak Edit + left soft key.
- Mobile Speak *Edit + * shortcut *will now spell the last item after
speaking it.
More
- Support for *Wayfinder Access V2.5*.
- Support for the *Kaywa Reader*. "The Kaywa Reader is a 2D Barcode
Reader to install on your mobile phone. Once installed, you can scan
2D
Barcodes and the content of the 2D Barcode is then immediately
resolved on
the phone. 2D Barcodes (QR Code, Datamatrix) can hold several types
of
information: an URL, a mobile site's address, a SMS message, a phone
number, any kind of text or an email address. The URL is certainly the
most
interesting type of information which can be encoded. After scanning
the
2D Barcode, you get a connection to the mobile site" source:
