Yeah. You would think they would consider asking prior beta testers of other
products to do it again. Guess not. I for one would love to beta test new MA
software.

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.
