Mobile Accessibility is only available in English at the moment.
Languages to follow soon are: Spanish, Italian, German, French and
Portuguese.<br><br>
Mobile Accessibility doesn't support multiple languages at one time. If
you buy the English version of Mobile Accessibility you will not be able
to use it in another language like French or Spanish. There will be a
specific version of Mobile Accessibility for each language and each
version will have to be purchased separately. US and UK English are 2
different languages.<br><br>
<h4><b>Mobile Accessibility is two products in one:</b></h4>
<ul>
<li><b>A suite of 10 accessible applications</b> (Phone, Contacts, SMS,
Alarm, Calendar, Email, Web, Where am I, Apps and Settings) that have
been specially designed for the blind and visually impaired. They all
have a simplified interface whose textual information is spoken using
Nuance Vocalizer® voice synthesis.
<li><b>A screen reader </b>that allows users to get out of the suite and
navigate the standard interface of their phone.
</ul><br>
<h5><b>The major features of Mobile Accessibility are the
following:</b></h5>
<ul>
<li><b>Touch navigation</b>: You can use Mobile Accessibility not only
with the trackball or the physical keyboard of your phone, but also with
its touchscreen! Simply move your finger around the screen and the voice
synthesis will read the text located under your finger. Or if you prefer,
you can also swipe up/down/right/left and tap on the screen to navigate
through the interface. And if you wish you can enable sound and vibration
feedback.
<li><b>Easy to input text</b>: In or outside the Mobile Accessibility
suite you can use the touch QWERTY keyboard as well as speech recognition
to write text quickly and easily. Imagine writing an SMS or an Email
using your voice only.
<li><b>Voice synthesis</b>: Code Factory has been making mobile phones
accessible to the blind and visually impaired for many years now, and
they know that the voice matters... and a lot! For Mobile Accessibility,
Code Factory has partnered with Nuance® to leverage its trusted Vocalizer
text-to-speech technology, providing consumers with natural sounding
voice readback.
</ul><br>
<h5><b>Inside the Mobile Accessibility suite of accessible applications
you can do the following</b></h5>
<ul>
<li><b>Phone</b>: Make calls, answer calls, hear the caller ID and manage
your call log.
<li><b>Contacts</b>: Manage your contacts, even those from social
networks such as Facebook.
<li><b>SMS</b>: Compose and read short messages. Manage conversations.
<li><b>Alarms</b>: Set your alarms.
<li><b>Web</b>: Full web browser experience, similar to what you can find
on your PC. Jump by the control of your choice (links, paragraphs,
headings, forms, etc.) to navigate faster to the information of your
interest. Bookmark your favourite webpages.
<li><b>Calendar</b>: Create, edit and delete a calendar entry. View all
events per day, week or month.
<li><b>Email</b>: Full access to your Gmail account
<li><b>Where am I?</b> : GPS application that gives you updates on your
current location.
<li><b>Settings</b>: Change ringtone. Configure feedback and
notifications (vibration or audio). Configure keyboard echo, punctuation
verbosity, speech pitch and rate, etc.
<li><b>Quick access</b> to date and time, phone status information such
as battery level and network coverage, number of missed calls and unread
messages, etc.
