Mobile Accessibility is Now Available for Purchase

Making Android Phones Accessible to the Blind

Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, March 30th, 2011

Mobile Accessibility, our screen-access application that allows people who
are blind or have low vision to use an Android phone in an intuitive, easy
and simple way, is now on sale.  Mobile Accessibility is the first
accessible Android application that permits intuitive touchscreen navigation
of Android phones, featuring text readback via natural sounding voices
powered by Nuance's VocalizerR text-to-speech technology.

You can purchase the application directly from the Market application of
your Android phone, or from the web page:

Mobile Accessibility is only available in English at the moment. Languages
to follow soon are:  Spanish, Italian, German, French and Portuguese.

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.

Mobile Accessibility is two products in one:

*	A suite of 10 accessible applications (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
VocalizerR voice synthesis. 

*	A screen reader that allows users to get out of the suite and
navigate the standard interface of their phone. 

The major features of Mobile Accessibility are the following:

*	Touch navigation: 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. 

*	Easy to input text: 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. 

*	Voice synthesis: 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 NuanceR to leverage its trusted Vocalizer
text-to-speech technology, providing consumers with natural sounding voice
readback.  

Inside the Mobile Accessibility suite of accessible applications you can do
the following

*	Phone: Make calls, answer calls, hear the caller ID and manage your
call log. 

*	Contacts: Manage your contacts, even those from social networks such
as Facebook.  

*	SMS: Compose and read short messages. Manage conversations. 

*	Alarms: Set your alarms. 

*	Web: 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. 

*	Calendar: Create, edit and delete a calendar entry. View all events
per day, week or month. 

*	Email: Full access to your Gmail account 

*	Where am I? : GPS application that gives you updates on your current
location. 

*	Settings: Change ringtone. Configure feedback and notifications
(vibration or audio). Configure keyboard echo, punctuation verbosity, speech
pitch and rate, etc. 

*	Quick access to date and time, phone status information such as
battery level and network coverage, number of missed calls and unread
messages, etc.
