I'm usually not one given to public outbursts, but seeing the
announcement of support of a product whose platform is becoming
almost obsolete in comparison, instead of an announcement about an
update for a product which CF charges $99 for, was the last straw for me.

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.
