Mobile Speak 5 for Symbian


Mobile Speak 5.0 for Symbian is now available!




Support for Symbian^3, Support for Nokia Email, New Review Cursor feature


Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, March 17th, 2011

Mobile Speak 5.0, a free update for all users of Mobile Speak 4.0, is 
now available for download!


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 supports all the 
Symbian^3  devices currently available: Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 
and Nokia C6-01. The Nokia E7 is the only one with a slide-out four 
row QWERTY keyboard. It is a device designed primarily with the 
business user in mind. They all have an AMOLED capacitive 
touchscreen, 3.2 inches for the C6-01,  3.5 inches for the C7 and the 
N8, and 4 inches for the E7. The C6-01 is a compact touchscreen and 
the most budget-friendly. The C7 is very slim and has a sleek design. 
The N8 is the first Nokia Symbian^3. It features a 12 Megapixel 
camera and a full metal chassis with anodised scratch-proof paint to 
give the phone a really high-end feel.

As the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7 do not have physical dial and hang up 
keys, Mobile Speak 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

As per the request of many users, Code Factory has added support for 
the new Nokia email application 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).
