> >“One day after sending V5.5 to sign to the 
> >Symbian test house, Nokia launched an updated 
> >firmware version for many popular devices and 
> >some of our accessibility got broken. We were 
> >attending the NFB convention in Orlando a couple 
> >of days later and everyone was waiting for this 
> >new version of Mobile Speak supporting new 
> >devices and featuring new functionality. We 
> >didn’t know at that time how long it would take 
> >us to support this new firmware so we preferred 
> >not to postpone the release of V5.5,” explained 
> >Eduard Sánchez, Code Factory’s CEO. “Therefore 
> >right after releasing V5.5 our development team 
> >put all their efforts into supporting the new 
> >firmware updates, but they went further than 
> >that. One more time, they reviewed the list of 
> >features requested by our users and beta 
> >testers, picked up a few of them and added more functionality to this update.”
> >
> >Main highlights of Mobile Speak 5.6 are:
> >    * Support for new firmware versions which 
> > were released in June 2011 on the following 9.3 
> > and 5th edition devices: C5-00, E5, E52, E72, 
> > 6700 slide, C6-00, C5-03, 5230, 5235, 5250, 
> > 5530, 5800, X6, N97 mini. Specific items which 
> > changed in this firmware and which now work 
> > correctly again are: Web browser, Email, 
> > Built-in Help screens, Standby screen's 
> > horizontal shortcut list and Symbol table.
> >    * Support for Nokia Internet Radio: Internet 
> > Radio is a free application which allows you to 
> > listen to radio stations from all over the 
> > world via the Internet. It is supported on a 
> > wide range of devices, from Symbian 9.1 through 
> > to the latest Symbian Anna phones. It comes 
> > pre-installed on many devices (check inside the 
> > Music, Radio or Applications folders), while on 
> > others it will need to be installed. Since it 
> > uses the Internet, make sure that you either 
> > have a WLAN connection active or are using a 
> > data plan, to avoid data charges. Stations can 
> > be browsed by many categories including type of 
> > music, language, country or popularity. 
> > Favorite stations can be saved so that they can easily be accessed later.
> >    * Global copy and paste shortcuts: Mobile 
> > Speak v5.60 adds new commands for Copy (Command 
> > + 6 from the Default layout) and Paste (Command 
> > + Long 6 from the Default layout). The Copy 
> > command will copy the last spoken text, as 
> > determined in the list of the last 5 texts 
> > spoken in Command + *. You therefore have the 
> > possibility to copy any of the last 5 items 
> > spoken, simply press Command + * until you hear 
> > the desired text, and then press Command + 6 
> > for this text to be copied. You can then move 
> > to any writable edit field (e.g. writing an SMS 
> > or email, notes, address field or anywhere else 
> > where you would normally write text) and press 
> > Command + Long 6 to paste the text at the 
> > current cursor position. This powerful tool 
> > will be useful in many situations, for example 
> > when copying text or links in the web browser 
> > and pasting them into an email or SMS message.
> >    * Support for emoticons (smileys): A large 
> > number of devices from Symbian 9.3 and above 
> > have built-in Emoticon support in the Messaging 
> > application. Mobile Speak will now read these 
> > emoticons when they are encountered when 
> > reading and writing SMS messages. When writing 
> > an SMS, these emoticons can be added either by 
> > writing the appropriate symbols, or by using 
> > the emoticon symbol table which is available on 
> > these supported devices (either under the 
> > Options menu, by pressing * or, on QWERTY 
> > devices, by pressing the Symbol key). In 
> > addition, support is also provided for a number 
> > of common emoticons in all applications, even 
> > on devices which do not have built-in emoticon 
> > support. The list of supported emoticons, along 
> > with the symbols of which they are composed, is 
> > found in the

> >    * Support for the Catalan language. The 
> > addition of the Acapela Catalan Laia voice and Catalan software localization.
> >    * Updated Acapela Czech Eliska voice 
> > package, to include patch from Acapela which 
> > should fix some problems with the character C. 
> > Note that no other voice packages have changed since v5.50.
> >    * Many other improvements and bug fixes, as
