LAUNCHING OF MOBILE SPEAK 5

Mobile Speak 5 is released! Please check out all the new features.

Support for Symbian 3

Symbian 3 is simpler, faster and better. While this latest version of Symbian will remain familiar to existing Symbian users worldwide, it includes more than 250 new features and improvements, such as a simplified user interface, enhanced multimedia features, and more customization abilities. Mobile Speak 5 supports all the Symbian 3 devices currently available: Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01.

As the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7 do not have physical dial and hang up keys, Mobile Speak 5 features two new gestures: slide down and left (in the shape of the letter "L" reversed) and slide down and right (letter "L"), which can be used as the Dial and Hang Up key respectively.

Nokia Email

The new Nokia email application support has been added on many 3rd FP2 devices (e.g. N86, E52, E72, E5, C5) as well as touch devices (e.g. N97 mini, N8, E7). On touch devices, support is included also when reading emails in html format. The full email will be read by default, so it is not necessary to move down one line at a time to listen to the full email. Command shortcuts in reading layout (e.g. read by words, by sentences, by paragraphs, etc) are available when reading email. In addition, pressing joystick up / joystick down will speak the previous / next paragraph.

Review Cursor

Mobile Speak also features a new review cursor mode (Command + 3 to toggle). This is available on both touch screen and standard keyboard devices. Once the review cursor has been activated, you can navigate around the screen virtually using the joystick. Joystick up/down moves to the previous/next element, joystick left/right moves character by character in the element, while joystick enter will open the currently selected virtual element (where possible).

More

Touch: Long press of # key in editors now switches between number/text writing mode.
Touch: Added support for Video and Photo browser lists.
Braille: Improved Braille Cursor mode.
Apps: Support for the latest version of TweetS60.
A large number of other improvements and bug fixes
