yes I have. the command is bottom left to top right regardless of the
orientation, for example, if you have the physical keyboard open, a
slash gesture announces reading mode or text mode and you can then
type. I don't use ideal much anymore because web images aren't
supported and there is no refresh, automatic or otherwise and use the
Mozilla nightlies of Firefox instead. If I need to tweet a weather
alert, I do use ideal for that though. I have complained many times
about MA's shortcomings and wished I knew about the beta. If I had
know, I would have been willing to beta test and give my input. Since I
am repeatedly attempting to help others, on and off this list with
android accessibility, it would have been nice to have something to
reassure people that, short of giving away proprietary information, that
a much improved MA is in the works.

Talking of Ideal Web Reader, have you been able to enter text typing
mode when an edit box is highlighted? They claim that swiping from
bottom left to top right switches between modes, but i haven't gotten
it to work yet.

Those on eclair, froyo, and gingerbread are getting sick of not
having there enhancements requests going unanswered, especially in
the sms, web browser, and email apps. Of course alarms and calendar
can be improved as well as call screens, and contacts, I would love
to get rid of ideal web reader and the nightly Mozilla, never to have
to use Google calendar or the stock alarm application, and even, if
they expand the email offerings, to ridding myself of k-9mail. I
will wait and see but the lack of incremental updates causes me to
not trust them. Though I am not from Missouri, they have to show me
and then I will recommend people purchase MA again. Even if jelly
bean is accessible and Key Lime Pie and even Lemon Drop are more
accessible still.

That’s all well and good, but what about further development on
Mobile Accessibility for Android? You know, that $99.00 app which
provides no stable support for Android versions higher than
Gingerbread? And by the way, that is directed at Code Factory, in
case anyone there actually cares about any level of customer
satisfaction.

**New version of Nokia Screen Reader**
*New version of Nokia Screen Reader is now available on the
Nokia Store!*
*Popular and free application now supports more than 40
devices and 29 languages!*
Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, October 17th, 2012
The highly popular Nokia Screen Reader application, which was
released late in 2011 for a limited range of devices and languages,
has now been extended to include support for virtually all Nokia
Symbian devices released in the last few years. In addition, it now
supports a much wider range of languages. And the best part for
users: it keeps being a free application!
“We’ve received fantastic feedback since the launch of Nokia Screen
Reader 10 months ago,” explains Eduard Sánchez, CEO at Code Factory.
“It’s been a great leap forward for affordable accessibility, and
Nokia is to be credited for supporting the project. However, many
users were disappointed that their phone or language was not
supported. With the release of Nokia Screen Reader 1.3, we are
delighted to be able to greatly extend the availability of Nokia
Screen Reader both in terms of devices and supported languages, to
once again break down the barriers of accessibility.”
Major features of v1.3:
• Support for a large number of new devices. The full set of
supported devices is now: Nokia 500, 603, 700, 701, 808 PureView,
5320, 5530, 5630, 5730, 6120, 6121, 6210, 6220, 6700 Slide, 6710,
6720, 6790, C5-00, C5 5MP, C6-00, C6-01, C7, E5, E52, E55, E6-00,
E63, E66, E7, E71, E71x, E72, E73, E75, N78, N79, N8, N85, N86, N96,
N97, N97 Mini, X6 and X7.
• Support for a much wider range of languages: English, Spanish,
French, German, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish, Italian, Danish,
Dutch, Greek, Hindi, Norwegian, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Arabic,
Croatian, Lithuanian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Hungarian,
Malaysian, Serbian, Slovak, Tagalog, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and
Icelandic. Note that some of these languages do not have a
corresponding Nokia HQ voice, so it is recommended to use the Nokia
standard quality voice for these languages.
• Added the "Voice" option to the UI, which allows users to choose
between the Nokia HQ and the Nokia (standard quality) voices. Nokia
HQ will still be loaded by default when Nokia Screen Reader is first
installed.
• Support for devices running Symbian Belle Refresh and Symbian
Belle Feature Pack 2 (FP2) firmware.
• Support for latest version of WhatsApp v2.8.14, the world’s most
popular mobile messaging application.
