Caroline Ragot - Marketing market...@codefactory.es Mobile Speak 5.6 for Symbian Mobile Speak 5.6 for Symbian is now available Support for Nokia Internet Radio, global copy & paste shortcuts, support for emoticons, support for Catalan language, support for new firmware versions and more Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, July 28th, 2011 This might be a record in the history of Code Factory development, only three and a half weeks to provide its users with a new feature-packed update of Mobile Speak. It seems that this year the seasons are reversed, summer time is Christmas time! “One day after sending V5.5 to sign to the Symbian test house, Nokia launched an updated firmware version for many popular devices and some of our accessibility got broken. We were attending the NFB convention in Orlando a couple of days later and everyone was waiting for this new version of Mobile Speak supporting new devices and featuring new functionality. We didn’t know at that time how long it would take us to support this new firmware so we preferred not to postpone the release of V5.5,” explained Eduard Sánchez, Code Factory’s CEO. “Therefore right after releasing V5.5 our development team put all their efforts into supporting the new firmware updates, but they went further than that. One more time, they reviewed the list of features requested by our users and beta testers, picked up a few of them and added more functionality to this update.” Main highlights of Mobile Speak 5.6 are: a.. Support for new firmware versions which were released in June 2011 on the following 9.3 and 5th edition devices: C5-00, E5, E52, E72, 6700 slide, C6-00, C5-03, 5230, 5235, 5250, 5530, 5800, X6, N97 mini. Specific items which changed in this firmware and which now work correctly again are: Web browser, Email, Built-in Help screens, Standby screen's horizontal shortcut list and Symbol table. b.. Support for Nokia Internet Radio: Internet Radio is a free application which allows you to listen to radio stations from all over the world via the Internet. It is supported on a wide range of devices, from Symbian 9.1 through to the latest Symbian Anna phones. It comes pre-installed on many devices (check inside the Music, Radio or Applications folders), while on others it will need to be installed. Since it uses the Internet, make sure that you either have a WLAN connection active or are using a data plan, to avoid data charges. Stations can be browsed by many categories including type of music, language, country or popularity. Favorite stations can be saved so that they can easily be accessed later. c.. Global copy and paste shortcuts: Mobile Speak v5.60 adds new commands for Copy (Command + 6 from the Default layout) and Paste (Command + Long 6 from the Default layout). The Copy command will copy the last spoken text, as determined in the list of the last 5 texts spoken in Command + *. You therefore have the possibility to copy any of the last 5 items spoken, simply press Command + * until you hear the desired text, and then press Command + 6 for this text to be copied. You can then move to any writable edit field (e.g. writing an SMS or email, notes, address field or anywhere else where you would normally write text) and press Command + Long 6 to paste the text at the current cursor position. This powerful tool will be useful in many situations, for example when copying text or links in the web browser and pasting them into an email or SMS message. d.. Support for emoticons (smileys): A large number of devices from Symbian 9.3 and above have built-in Emoticon support in the Messaging application. Mobile Speak will now read these emoticons when they are encountered when reading and writing SMS messages. When writing an SMS, these emoticons can be added either by writing the appropriate symbols, or by using the emoticon symbol table which is available on these supported devices (either under the Options menu, by pressing * or, on QWERTY devices, by pressing the Symbol key). In addition, support is also provided for a number of common emoticons in all applications, even on devices which do not have built-in emoticon support. The list of supported emoticons, along with the symbols of which they are composed, is found in the Mobile Speak manual. e.. Support for the Catalan language. The addition of the Acapela Catalan Laia voice and Catalan software localization. f.. Updated Acapela Czech Eliska voice package, to include patch from Acapela which should fix some problems with the character C. Note that no other voice packages have changed since v5.50. g..
