What’s
New in 4.0
Mobile
Speak 4 is cross-platform, touch, multi-voice, and ready for the next
generation.
2.1 Cross Platform
With Mobile
Speak 4, you can switch phones as many times as you want, for free. In
addition, Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier are not only cross-device, they are
also cross-platform, which means you can transfer your Mobile Speak or Mobile
Magnifier license from a Symbian to a Windows Mobile device and vice versa.
In Mobile
Speak 4, your mobile phone number is your user ID. Therefore, as long as you do
not change phone numbers you can transfer your Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier
license between devices, free of charge, as many times as you wish. There is
also no need to deactivate your license from the old device before activating
it on a new device. Just enter your phone number on the new device and
your license will automatically be activated. Likewise, if your phone is
stolen, broken or lost, as long as you do not change phone numbers, you do not
have to send Code Factory any kind of certificate - just install the software
on your new device and activate it with your User ID.
2.2 Touch
With Mobile
Speak 4, you have three different ways to interact with your touch screen
mobile phone:
1. Use the classic keyboard commands.
2. Use a brand new system of easy touch screen commands
3. Move your finger around the touch screen and let Mobile Speak tell you
what is below your fingertips.
The Mobile
Speak touch interface has been completely redesigned - it is now much more
powerful and intuitive than Mobile Speak Pocket, its predecessor. It also works
on Symbian as well as Windows Mobile, so it is compatible with phones such as
the Nokia N97, Nokia 5800, Nokia 5230, and Nokia 5530.
On phones
with hardware keys as well as a touch screen, you decide what is most
convenient for you, using touch screen gestures or pressing keys.
Mobile
Speak 4 also allows you to activate a review cursor mode, similar to VoiceOver for the iPhone. When you move your finger around
the screen, Mobile Speak will speak what is under your finger and you only have
to double tap to activate the item.
Whether you
choose the quick access of touch screen gestures, the easy navigation of the
review cursor, or the traditional keyboard shortcuts, or a combination of all
three, the choice is yours. You can change the method depending on which mobile
device you are using, your preferences, or even specific situations.
2.3 Multi-Voice
When you
buy Mobile Speak 4 license, you get three voices for the price of one.
With Acapela and Loquendo, Mobile
Speak 4 allows you to use up to three voices from a single Text-To-Speech
provider. That means that you can use either three Acapela
or three Loquendo voices with only one Mobile Speak
license. Further, no matter which voices you choose to install first, you are
not tied to them. As long as you do not use more than three voices at the same
time, you can switch them as many times as you like. However remember that this
feature is tied to the Text-To-Speech provider, so you will have to choose if
you prefer to have three voices from either Acapela
or Loquendo because you will not be able to mix
voices from both providers.
2.4 Ready for the Next Generation
With Mobile
Speak 4, you do not have to worry about being left behind with old technology.
Mobile Speak supports the latest mobile phones such as the Nokia N97 and HTC
Touch Pro 2, as well as the latest versions of Windows Mobile, V6.5 and of
Symbian, S60 5th Edition. To check the full list of supported devices, and to
know which devices are considered as the most popular among Mobile Speak users,
please visit our Web site at http://www.codefactory.es.

Installation
on Symbian Devices
If you have
obtained your mobile phone from a distributor, Mobile Speak / Mobile Magnifier
will already be installed on your device. However, it is possible that you may
have had to remove the software from your system, or that you have downloaded
the software from the Internet and want to install it yourself.
3.1 Prerequisites
Prior to
installation, ensure the following:
1. The date and time must be correctly set on your
phone. Otherwise, the packages may not install successfully and the trial
license may not function properly.
2. That there is sufficient free memory available
on the device (either in the phone memory, memory card, or the hard disk). The
Mobile Speak package requires around 6Mb of free memory, while the voice package
sizes can vary (Acapela HQ voices are the largest and
may occupy up to 25 Mb).
3. That the firmware on your phone is up to date.
To check your current firmware, please dial *#0000#. The
earlier firmware versions on many Symbian phones have issues that interfere
with the operation of your phone, with and without Mobile Speak installed. To
update your firmware, either go to your Nokia service center, or (if your phone
is on the list of supported phones) do it online using the Nokia firmware
update service at www.nokia.com/A4176089. To check what firmware is
available for your phone via the Nokia firmware update service, first go to http://europe.nokia.com/A4305060 and enter your phone’s product code (a
seven-digit code found inside the phone, on a label underneath the battery).
Most S60 3rd edition phones are supported by this service.
4. That your phone is using the correct security
setting. Note that on some phones (especially E-series or operator-branded
models), an additional security setting exists. The default setting may need to
be changed before installation of any application is permitted on the phone. To
do this, go into the phone’s Application Manager and press Options / Settings
and make sure that Software Installation is set to “ON”, and Online Certificate
Check is set to “OFF”.
3.2 Installation
The
following instructions apply to phones where Mobile Speak has never been
previously installed, or where all Mobile Speak packages have been removed. If
you are upgrading from a previous version of Mobile Speak, please read the
section on upgrading below before returning to this section to complete
the installation.
All
installation packages can be found on the Code Factory web site. The base
Mobile Speak package has a name such as “MobileSpeak_S60_v4.0.SIS”. It contains
all the files needed to run Mobile Speak with the Nokia voices, and also to run
Mobile Magnifier. To use other voices, you can install TTS packages which can
all be found on the Code Factory web site. In general, the TTSs have a single
installation package (e.g. “english_us-heather_22k_3rd.SIS”). The Loquendo voices are an exception – they consist of two
packages - loquendo_common_3rd.SIS and a Loquendo
voice file. Please install the loquendo_common_3rd.SIS file first, and
then one or more Loquendo voice files.
The order
of installation is not important, so you can install the Mobile Speak package
prior to installing the TTS or vice versa. You may install the packages to the
phone memory, memory card, or (where available) hard disk of the phone, as long
as sufficient free space is available.
There are
several ways to transfer these files to the phone and install them. The choice
of which method to use depends on the user. Keep in mind that some of these
techniques may require sighted assistance, as several questions will be asked
on the phone during the installation process. The possible choices include:
1. PC Suite: this is a free PC software package
from Nokia, which comes with the phone or can be downloaded free of charge. The
phone is connected to the PC using a USB cable, and you must connect the phone
in “PC Suite” mode after connecting the USB cable. Please refer to the PC Suite
reference manual for a full description of this software.
2. Bluetooth: a Bluetooth pairing must first be
set up between the phone and the computer. Once paired, the installation
packages can be transferred to the phone. They will be sent to the Inbox and
the installation process will begin when the message is opened. Remember to
delete each package from the Inbox after installation.
3. Web: by navigating on the phone’s Web browser
to the Code Factory web site, the installation packages can be downloaded
directly to the phone. Installation will be started automatically once the
download is complete.
4. File transfer: you can also transfer the
installation packages directly to the phone (e.g. by copying the files to the
memory card using a card reader). Once this is done, use the phone’s File
Manager to locate the installation package. By opening it, the installation
process will start automatically. Remember to delete each package after
installation.
After a
successful installation, Mobile Speak will start automatically on most models.
However, it is advisable that you restart the phone when installation is done.
If Mobile Speak did not start automatically, please use the “Start Mobile
Speak” shortcut to launch the application.
Mobile
Speak comes integrated with Mobile Magnifier. By default, Mobile Speak is
activated and Mobile Magnifier is deactivated the first time that the Mobile
Speak package is installed. However, you can then customize the startup
behavior of Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier by configuring the Auto Start
Mobile Speak and Auto Start Magnifier options in the Configure Mobile Speak
application.
3.3 Uninstalling
To
uninstall Code Factory products, use the Manager application, which in most phones
is located in the Settings or Applications folder. The shortcut to this program
is sometimes labeled “App Mgr”, “App Manager”, or
“Application Manager”.
The Manager
application will show a list with all the packages and applications installed
in the system. Remove the Mobile Speak package first, and then any voices,
games or tools. It is not necessary to first press “Stop Mobile Speak” before
uninstalling.
After
uninstalling the packages, Mobile Speak will have been cleared from your mobile
phone. It is recommended that the phone be restarted after uninstalling Mobile
Speak.
Note that
on Symbian 3rd edition phones, it is also possible to uninstall
Mobile Speak by pressing the Clear key on any of the Mobile Speak icons.
3.4 Nokia Built-In TTS
Mobile
Speak provides access to the Nokia built-in TTS on all Nokia Symbian 9 phones.
The standard voice is called "Nokia" and, on phones that
support the Nokia High Quality TTS (i.e. Nokia E50, E51, E52, E55 E61i, E63,
E65, E66, E71, E71x, E72, E75, E90 Communicator, N75, N78, N79, N81, N85, N86,
N96, N97, 5320, 5500 Sport, 5530, 5630, 5700 XpressMusic,
5730, 6110 Navigator, 6120 classic, 6121, 6124, 6210, 6220, 6290, 6710, 6720,
6790 and X6 phones), another called "Nokia HQ" is also available.
These Nokia voices are shipped with all Symbian 9 phones, and new Nokia HQ
voices are also downloadable on supported phones from the Nokia web site at http://europe.nokia.com/A4286225.
The Standard Quality TTS will automatically switch languages to match the phone
language. The High Quality TTS can be configured to use a specific language and
voice or modify the speed via the "Speech" application, which is
usually located inside the phone’s Settings folder.
If you have
a supported phone, you can download and install additional High Quality voices.
To do this, visit the Nokia download page at http://europe.nokia.com/A4286225.
For a given language, you must install the language package and at least one of
the voices listed. However, most phones will come with the TTS of the default
language already installed. After installing the new voice, you’ll see it
listed inside the phone’s Speech application. Use the Speech application to manage
the currently selected voice. The volume and speed will be controlled by Mobile
Speak.
A FAQ
regarding the Nokia built-in TTS can be accessed at http://www.codefactory.es/additional_docs/en/nokiaTTS_EN.html.
3.5 Software Updates
Updates to
the Mobile Speak software are regularly made available at the Code Factory web
site www.codefactory.es. Minor updates are usually
free, while major updates may require purchase of an upgrade license, so check
the release notes for each version to see whether this is required.
3.6
Upgrading to v4 from a Previous Version
Users who
are upgrading to v4.xx from v3.xx MUST first uninstall ALL Code Factory
packages (TTS, Mobile Speak and any related tools) before installing v4 of
Mobile Speak. This is extremely important, since failing to do so may prevent
the products from working correctly, or may even cause phone instability. Check
with your distributor, or refer to the “Uninstalling” section above, if you
have any questions regarding how to remove packages from your phone.
Once all
Code Factory packages have been uninstalled, restart the phone, and then you
can proceed with a standard installation, as described in the “Installation”
section above.

How-to's
4.1
How
do I Make a Phone Call?
When one is
in the “Standby” window, one can make a phone call. You can switch in
between the “Standby” window and “Main Menu” window by using the “Menu Key”.
All
numerical keys that are pressed are interpreted as digits for the telephone
number to be called. When all the digits of the phone number have been entered,
open the Options menu with the left softkey and
select “Voice Call” to dial the entered phone number.
4.2
How
Do I Access the Start Menu?
On Symbian
devices you can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the
“Menu Key”. From the “Main Menu”, you can access all the applications on the
phone, which are located either in the current “Main Menu” window itself or in
subfolders.
By long
pressing the “Menu Key”, you can display a list of currently running applications.
You can browse this list by going up and down with the joystick key. With the
center joystick key or with the left softkey, you can

· “Add recipient” - opens a list of
Contacts, from which the recipient can be selected.
· “Exit” - exits the entire
“Messaging” application.
Sending
an SMS From the “Standby” Window
On some
phones, it is possible to send an SMS from the “Standby” window. This might be
possible either by selecting one of the standard available standby options, or
by pressing the left softkey which will open the
“Messaging” application (on some phones).
4.4
How
Do I Manage My Contact List?

Symbian and Windows Mobile, you can manage your list of email and phone
contacts via the Contacts application. In both cases, the Contacts application
can be found in the main phone menu, and may also be assigned to either the
left or right softkey in the phone’s standby/home
screen.
Once you
have opened the Contacts application, you will be presented with a list of your
current contacts. By selecting a contact, you can choose to make a voice call,
send a message, or send an email, provided that you have stored all of the
relevant information for each of these options. Depending on the operating
system and the capabilities of the device, you may also have the option to make
a video call, send the contact information via Bluetooth, record a voice
dialing prompt, or any number of additional operations.
4.5
How
do I Manage Calendar Appointments?
The
Calendar application can be found on most phones either in the “Main Menu”
window or in the “Applications” subfolder.
The
Calendar application opens with the “Month View” window, with the cursor on the
current day. This current date is spoken at startup. With the joystick key, you
can scroll through the days of the month and move to the previous or the next
month.
You can

“New Entry” option is selected, you can choose between creating a “Meeting”,
“Memo”, “Anniversary”, or a “To-do” type of event.
In the “New
Appointment” window, there are various fields available depending on the type
of appointment event. The label of the highlighted field is spoken, and you can
select the current field by scrolling through the window with the joystick key.
Pressing
the right softkey (“Done”) saves the new entry and
you are returned to the “Day View”.
Editing
an Appointment
In the
“Month View” and “Week View” windows, the user can browse the calendar days
using the joystick key. When a day is selected containing one or more
appointments, the voice - after mentioning the date itself - will speak the
word “Meeting”.
By
selecting “Open” from the Options menu or double-pressing the joystick, “Day
View” is displayed where a list of all the appointments (meetings, memos,
to-do’s and anniversaries) is shown. When scrolling through this list, the
subject, location, and starting time of the highlighted item will be spoken.
When
selecting “Open” in the Options menu in “Day View”, the currently highlighted
appointment event will be opened. As when this item was created, the various
fields (depending on the type of event) can be scrolled through and edited with
the joystick.
Again, with
the right softkey (“Done”), the newly edited entry
will be saved and you will return to “Day View”.

“Mobile Speak” folder in the main menu, and opening the Configure Mobile Speak
application.
4.11
How
Do I Change the Stylus Mode?
Activating
stylus mode allows you to use the touch screen normally, bypassing all of the
Mobile Speak touch commands. This may be useful when the device will be used by
a sighted person who might otherwise have difficulty navigating using the touch
commands.
To activate
stylus mode, use the slide up + slide right gesture. To perform this gesture
correctly, you should slide your finger up the screen and then to the right, in
one upside-down L-shaped motion, without lifting your finger from the screen.
At this point the screen will function as a normal touch screen.
To return
to Mobile Speak’s touch commands, press the command
key and then repeat the same gesture to turn off stylus mode.
On Symbian
phones, you can also use the double tap and hold gesture (a short tap
immediately followed by a long tap) instead of the slide up + slide right
gesture to turn stylus mode on and off.
4.12
How
do I Mute Mobile Speak?
To mute
Mobile Speak, press Command Key + 0 or use Tap 2 (Settings Layout) and then use
Tap 1.

5
Licensing
Mobile Speak 4 comes
with a new licensing system which offers many benefits and allows maximum
flexibility. Users can choose between two licensing methods, one based on your
telephone number (known as phone-number-based licensing), and one based upon a
unique identifier for your device (known as device-based licensing).
A detailed description
of each of these licensing methods is available on our web page at http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=309.
5.1
Activation Manager
After
installing Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier, you can activate the products or
obtain a trial license through the Activation Manager. On Symbian devices, the
Activation Manager is launched when entering Configure Mobile Speak >
Options > Product Activation. On Windows Mobile devices, first launch the MS
Control Panel using the "Mobile Speak" shortcut found in the Today
Screen or in the Start menu. Once opened, navigate to "Activation
Manager" and press Enter.
Before
attempting to activate the product, please make sure that your phone has
service and is not in offline or flight mode, and that the date and time are
set correctly.
The
Activation Manager will communicate with the Code Factory licensing server
using your preferred method of connection:
· Via the Internet using your device's
connection with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
· Via the Internet using your mobile
phone's Internet service. Please consult your mobile phone provider about
configurations on how to get this to work, as well as any charges for using the
service.
· On Windows Mobile devices, via the
Internet using an ActiveSync partnership between your device and a PC with an
existing Internet connection.
· Via SMS/text message. Please consult
your mobile phone provider regarding charges for sending and receiving SMS from
international numbers. Refer also to our list of mobile phone networks confirmed to work with SMS
activations.
5.2
Getting a Trial License
Getting a
trial license is very straightforward in Mobile Speak, and does not require any
help from your distributor.
1. Enter the Activation Manager.
Upon entering the Activation Manager on a
Symbian device, you will be asked to select your preferred method of connection
(SMS or Internet). On a Windows Mobile device, this option is presented later
in the activation process. After entering the Activation Manager, some
informational prompts will be displayed, warning of possible SMS or Internet
charges involved in the activation process.
2. Select “No” when asked if you are a registered user of Code Factory
products.
An activation request for a trial license will
be sent to the Code Factory server. The request will be done for all Code
Factory products installed on the device at the time of activation. Depending
on the connection speed, this process may take some minutes. The activation
process will then complete and an appropriate information message will be
displayed. After completing the activation, the license status for all products
will be displayed on the screen on Windows Mobile devices, or on Symbian
devices it can be found in Configure Mobile Speak > Options > About.
If
additional voices or Code Factory products are installed on the device at a
later time and you wish to obtain a trial license for them, it may be necessary
to repeat the trial activation process in order to obtain the trial
license. Check the license status first if you are unsure.
Trial
licenses are time and date sensitive. Therefore, changing the time or date on
your phone may cause a trial license to expire. If this occurs, simply set the
correct time and date and repeat the trial activation process and any remaining
days of the trial will be reactivated.
5.3
Activating
a Full License
The process
for activating a trial license is very similar to that of obtaining a trial
license. After purchasing a full license for your product, enter the Activation
Manager, select your preferred method of connection and respond to any
informational prompts. Answer “Yes” when asked if you are a registered user of
Code Factory products. If connecting via the internet, you will be prompted to
enter your phone number if you are registering a product with a
phone-number-based license (please leave this field blank if you have a
device-based license). Press “OK” (or “Yes”) to send the activation request to
the Code Factory server. Once completed, check the license status of all Code
Factory products to confirm that the activation has been successful.
When
activating a full license, a trial license will also be generated for any other
installed products that had not previously been trialed and for which you have
not yet purchased a license.
If at a
later time you decide to install additional Code Factory products, or you
re-install existing products, you may be required to repeat the activation
process.

About
Layouts
Mobile
Speak 4 organizes commands into groups called “layouts”. These groups combine
related commands, such as those dealing with magnification or settings, in
order to make them easily accessible and make optimal use of the limited number
of keys available on some mobile devices.
You can
switch between layouts using the keyboard (for devices which have a physical
keyboard) or by using the touch screen. Please see the section on command key
shortcuts for information on using the keyboard or phone dial pad, or the
section on touch UI for details on using the touch screen.
The
following layouts are available in Mobile Speak 4:
Default
Includes the most commonly-used commands, such as moving the cursor, as well as
switching between other layouts.
Go To (Touch only)
Allows you to navigate to various parts of the phone interface, such as the
left and right soft keys, the main phone menu, the Mobile Speak configuration
utility, and so on.
Speak (Touch only)
Offers commands to speak information about the phone and the current
application, as well as spelling and repeating spoken text.
Settings (Touch only)
Allows you to change the most frequently-used Mobile Speak settings, such as
volume and speed of speech output, without going to the Mobile Speak
configuration utility.
Advanced Reading
Provides commands for text navigation, allowing you to navigate by character,
word, line, paragraph, etc.
Magnification
Includes the most commonly-used commands for controlling Mobile Magnifier.
In Windows
Mobile, there are two additional layouts which are used only in specific
applications:
Internet Explorer
Commands used for navigating web content within Internet Explorer.
Windows Media Player
Includes commands for controlling media playback.
In addition
to the layouts listed above, there are also two special command modes which are
available on touch screen devices: virtual keyboard mode and review cursor
mode. While these are not command layouts per se, they do modify the behavior
of the touch screen when active. Please consult the relevant sections of this
manual for each mode for more information.
A list of all Keyboard and Touch commands is
found here: http://www.codefactory.es/MS4/MS4Commands.doc

Configure Mobile Speak
Mobile Speak and
Mobile Magnifier are unique because of the flexibility they offer you in
customizing your mobile access solution. With more than 60 user-configurable
options for speech, Braille and magnification, you can have an accessible phone
best suited to your needs and preferences.
7.1
Mobile Speak Configuration
To configure Mobile
Speak and/or Mobile Magnifier, navigate to the “Mobile Speak” folder. Press the
center joystick key to enter the “Mobile Speak” folder.
In the “Mobile Speak”
folder, there are various Mobile Speak options:
· Stop Mobile Speak
· Configure Mobile Speak
· Stop Mobile Magnifier
· Start Mobile Magnifier
· Start Mobile Speak
Select “Configure
Mobile Speak” and press the center joystick key to select the Mobile Speak
configuration application.
7.2
MS Profiles
Mobile
Speak organizes configuration settings into groups called MS Profiles, allowing
you to switch between different profiles as you need them. For example, you
could configure one MS Profile to use a certain voice, speed, and level of
verbosity for reading long passages of text, instead of your preferred
configuration for normal use of the phone. All of the Mobile Speak settings are
included in each MS Profile, making it easy to customize them to your specific
needs in different situations.
In the initial screen of the Mobile Speak
configuration panel, you will see the three MS Profiles, named by default as
Normal, Beginner, and Advanced. Additionally, you can define your own personal
MS Profile. One of these MS Profiles is always marked as Active, which
means that its settings are currently in use. The word “Active” will be spoken
after the name of the currently active MS Profile.
For each MS Profile, you have the option to activate
or customize it. By selecting the Customize option, you will be presented with
five separate tabs, each of which contains a different set of configuration
options, as discussed in the next five sections.
7.3
Configuration Structure
Each MS Profile is divided into 6 groups of settings:
Speech, Reading, General, Verbosity, Braille, and Magnifier. To switch between
the different groups, use the joystick left and right keys. The options that
also have associated “Command key” shortcuts are described in the “Overview of
Command Key shortcuts” section.
Note that any
changes that you make to the configuration settings will only take effect once
you exit the MS Profile that you are currently customizing or when you switch
to a different setting group using the joystick left or right key.
Important: Do not
change settings (e.g. Volume, Verbosity) using “Command Key” shortcuts while
the Configure Mobile Speak application is running. These changes will be
overridden when you exit the Configure Mobile Speak application.
7.4
Speech Settings
The following is a
list of the Speech configuration options:
· Change the voice, if you have
installed several voices.

Voice
Many different
voices can be installed on the same phone, and the user is able to switch
between them. All installed voices appear in the selection list, however if you
choose one that is not activated, it will expire after 10 minutes. In the case
of Loquendo and Acapela, if
you install more than three voices, only three will be shown in the list, and
you have to uninstall one of these three before you can use a different one.
Volume
This option
increases or decreases the volume of the speech output (1 to 10). It does not
affect the volume of system sounds or the audio during a call. It also has a
related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + joystick key up,
“Command Key” + joystick key down, in default layout mode). See the Section
with the overview of Command Shortcuts for a further description. The default
level is 5 for all MS Profiles.
Speed
This option increases or decreases the speed of the
speech output (-10 to 10). It also has a related shortcut “Command Key”
combination (“Command Key” + joystick key left, “Command Key” + joystick key
right, in default layout mode). See the Section with the overview of Command Shortcuts
for a further description. Default is 0 for the Normal MS Profile, 0 for the
Beginner MS Profile, and 5 for the Advanced MS Profile. Note
that the speed of the NokiaHQ voice is controlled
from within the phone’s “Speech” application. For the Nokia voices, the speed
is not configurable.
Change Spelling Speed from -10 to 10.
This option increases or decreases
the speed of the speech output (-10 to 10) when spelling a word with the
spelling commands (e.g. “Command Key” + 8, in the default layout mode). The
default level is 0 for the Normal and Beginner MS Profiles and 5 for the
Advanced MS Profile.
Pitch
This option increases or decreases the pitch of speech
output (-10 to 10). Default level is 0 for all MS Profiles. This default is
already the recommended pitch for each voice. Note that the pitch settings have
no effect when using the Loquendo, Acapela HQ, Nokia or Nokia HQ voices.
Voice
On Call
This option,
available only in Symbian 9, allows the user to choose either the Nokia or (if
available) the Nokia HQ TTS as the active voice while on a call. Note that in
Samsung Symbian 9 phones, it is not currently possible to hear speech output
while on a call.
Volume
On Call
This option
increases or decreases the volume of speech output of Mobile Speak during a
call (1 to 10). Default level is 8 for all MS Profiles.
The “Silent on
Calls” feature instructs Mobile Speak not to provide speech output while the user
is on a call. If this option is off, then Mobile Speak works normally during a
call and the user can navigate through the phone to, for example, check the
calendar or the contacts list. Default setting is OFF for all MS Profiles. Note
that in Symbian 9, the Nokia built-in TTS is used while on a call. Note also
that in Samsung Symbian 9 phones, it is not currently possible to hear speech
output while on a call.
Mute On Keypad
Lock
The “Mute on Keypad Lock” setting affects the
operation of Mobile Speak when the keypad is locked. When set to ON, Mobile
Speak will be automatically muted when the keypad is locked. Speech output will
be enabled automatically when the keypad is unlocked. Default setting is OFF
for all MS Profiles.
Silent While Dialing
For more privacy,
enabling this option lets the user dial numbers without speech feedback
announcing each number pressed. Default is OFF for all MS Profiles.
Change
the Audio Profile
Select the Normal
audio profile when using Mobile Speak with speech routed through the phone’s
speaker. Select the Ear phone audio profile when using a headset or ear phone.
Default setting is Normal for all MS Profiles.
Change
the Speech delay (seconds)
This allows the
user to specify a delay (in seconds) which is added when speaking. This can be
useful inside some applications where Mobile Speak reacts faster than the
screen is updated. The additional delay will ensure that the correct item is
spoken. Default setting is “Default” for all MS Profiles.
Reduce
minimum volumen
With
this setting, one can set the percentage with which the volume is reduced at
low volume levels (1-3). Possible values range from 12.5% to 100%. The default
value is 100% (i.e. no reduction).
Increase
maximum volumen
With
this setting, one can set the percentage with which the volume is increased at
high volume levels (8-10). Possible values range from 100% to 400%. The default
value is 100% (i.e. no increase).

None: No speech feedback is provided
while entering text.
-
Characters: As the text is being typed,
each character is spoken.
-
Words: As the text is being typed,
characters are not spoken, however as soon as a space character is inserted,
the preceding word is spoken.
-
Characters and words: Both characters and
words are spoken while entering text.
It also has a
related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + 9, in default layout
mode).
See the Section with the overview of Command Shortcuts for a further
description. Default setting is “Characters and Words” for all MS Profiles.
Punctuation
This option changes the punctuation setting (None /
Some / All). It also has a related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command
Key” + 7, in reading layout mode).
The default level is “Some” for all MS Profiles. See the Command Shortcuts
section for more information.
Secret Editor
Mode
This setting
controls the type of speech output when entering characters in a secret editor
(e.g., the PIN code screen and password edit fields). When this option is set
to “Asterisk”, the “*” character will be spoken each time a key is entered.
When set to “Character”, the entered character is spoken. When set to “None”,
there is no speech feedback while typing. Default setting is “Asterisk” for all
MS Profiles.
Phonetic
Spelling Mode
The phonetic
spelling mode controls the spelling of letters (for example, after pressing
“Command Key” + 8 in the default layout mode). Instead of spelling the letters
by their names, they are spelled by means of the international radiotelephony
phonetic alphabet (e.g., an “a” is spelled “alpha”, a “b” is spelled “bravo”, a
“c” is “charlie”, etc.). In general, vowels with
accents will be interpreted as standard vowels. Nevertheless, in some special
cases (e.g., Scandinavian vowels like Æ, Å, the Spanish consonant ñ, the Czech
letters with carons like ŭ or č) are not
spelled phonetically but just by their names. The default setting is “OFF” for
the Normal MS profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS profile, and “OFF” for the
Advanced MS profile.
Case Indicator
The “Case Indicator” setting changes the way capital
letters are spoken in text editors (such as SMS, email, and help). When set to
ON, the case of the character will be spoken when entering text with keyboard
echo set to “Characters” or “Characters and Words”, when navigating text by character,
and when spelling the current word (“Command key” + long pressed 6 or “Command
Key” + long pressed #). The word "Caps" will be spoken immediately
before the character if it is in uppercase. The default setting is “OFF” for
the Normal MS Profile, “OFF” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “ON” for the
Advanced MS Profile.
Speak Deleted
Characters
When the Speak Deleted Characters option is set to
“ON”, if you erase text in an editor, the deleted character(s) will be spoken.
If verbosity level is set to High, it will also say "Deleted"
followed by the character(s) that were deleted. Default setting is “OFF” for
the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the
Advanced MS Profile.
Number
Processing
This option
controls the way that numbers are spoken by the TTS, and is applied to all
numbers in all applications. Numbers containing four digits or less are sent
directly to the TTS. However, longer numeric strings (i.e. five or more digits)
are processed according to the “Number Processing” setting. Available options
are Single, Pairs, Triples, or TTS. The “Single”, “Pairs”, and “Triples”
settings speak numbers in groups of one, two, and three digits respectively.
The “TTS” option sends the number directly to the text-to-speech engine, which
will speak the numbers according to its own rules. The Default setting is
Single for all MS Profiles.
Change
the Minimum Number of Processing Digits
This
setting reflects the minimum number of digits that a number must have before
the current Number Processing option is applied. The default value had been set
to 5 for all MS Profiles.
Toggle
the User Dictionary On and Off
With
this setting, the user can switch the user dictionary on or off. This is
identical to the “Command Key” shortcut when pressing “Command Key” + long
pressed 4, in the default layout mode. For more information about the User
Dictionary, see the end of this section. The default value is “ON” for all MS
Profiles.

7.8
Braille Settings
Below is a list of
the Braille settings:
· Set Input Braille table.
· Set Output Braille table.
· Toggle “Show Control type” on/off.
· Toggle “Braille Cursor” on/off.
· Toggle “Auto turn off Bluetooth”
on/off.
· Toggle “Control summary” on/off.
· Toggle “Input full pan” on/off.
· Toggle “Cursor blinking” on/off.
· Toggle “Suppress Capital Sign” on/off.
· Toggle “Reconnect at startup”
on/off.
Input / Output Braille Table
These options set a Braille translation table to use
for Braille input and output. There is a different table for each Braille grade
and language. This table will be used when displaying text on the refreshable
Braille line, or when entering text using the Braille keyboard. Beginning with
Mobile Speak 3.0, you may select separate tables for input and output. For
example, you may choose to enter text in US English grade 2 Braille, but have
the output displayed in Spanish computer Braille. By default, 8-dot computer
Braille tables are selected for both input and output in all MS profiles.
Show Control Type
When enabled, this option includes a short
abbreviation before each text sent to the device, indicating the type of
control being displayed. The Braille control type abbreviations vary according
to the currently-selected language. With an English TTS, for example, ed is used to indicate that the control in focus is
an editor. With a Norwegian TTS, on the other hand, sf
(as in “skrivefelt” to refer to an editor) is used
instead. The default setting is “ON” for all MS profiles.
Braille
Cursor
In addition to the normal screen navigation mode,
Mobile Speak has a “Braille cursor” mode, allowing you to view the contents of
the screen in Braille, whether or not they are selectable using the system
cursor of the phone, and to explore the screen without moving focus to another
part or item. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
Auto Turn
Off Bluetooth
When this option is enabled, the Bluetooth
capabilities of the phone will be automatically switched off when the Braille
device is disconnected manually, either by terminating the connection between
the mobile phone and Braille device, or by turning off the Braille device. This
provides a higher level of security, and conserves battery power. Note that
Bluetooth is automatically switched on when the connection between devices is
established again. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
Control
Summary
This option, when used in conjunction with the Braille
Cursor mode, adds an extra line for each editable control, selection list or
grid, providing additional information about the location of the system focus
within the control, as well as the number of lines and items in the control.
For example, if system focus is on the second of four lines in an editor, the
control summary displayed in Braille Cursor Mode will inform you - through a
concise format suitable for short Braille displays - that the control is an
editor with four lines and that focus is currently on line 2. The same applies
to lists and grids, except that instead of lines, control summary provides
details on the number of items and on which item is currently in focus. The
default setting is “ON” for all MS profiles.
Input Full
Pan
This option controls the scrolling behavior of the
Braille line when the end of the line is reached while entering or editing
text. If it is set to “ON”, the display will be scrolled by the entire width of
the line such that the next character entered is shown in the first cell of a
new Braille line. This setting is the default as most Braille users do not need
to monitor the Braille display while typing. However, if it is set to OFF, the
display will be scrolled by one character at a time so that the next character
is shown near the end of the current Braille line. This setting is recommended
if you want to keep track of what you have typed so far without relying on
speech feedback.
Cursor
Blinking
When this option is set to “ON”, the current position
of the cursor within the text will be indicated on the Braille device via a
flashing tactile cursor (dots 7 and 8 that go up and then retract every
half-second). The blinking stops when the Braille device or mobile phone is not
touched for 30 seconds. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
Suppress
Capital Sign
Enabling this option prevents the Braille output from
indicating upper-case (“capital”) letters in Grade 1 or Grade 2 Braille by
placing a dot 6 before the uppercase character. The default setting is “OFF”
for all MS profiles.
Reconnect at
Startup
When this option is
enabled, Mobile Speak will automatically attempt to reconnect to the
last-connected Braille device when the phone is restarted. The default setting
is “OFF”.

Profiles.
Screen Layout Type
Mobile Magnifier v3.00 has three different ways to
magnify the screen:
· Full
screen view (default layout for all MS Profiles): the contents of the entire
screen are magnified.
· Distributed
view: screen text is magnified in the center using the selected zoom level,
while the window title at the top as well as current left and right softkeys at the bottom are displayed using a secondary
magnification setting.

Auto Zoom
Auto Zoom can be turned on or off. When turned on, the
Magnification Level will automatically adjust to the amount of screen contents
and may therefore change. Users who prefer to have a fixed zoom level should
turn this feature OFF. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS Profiles.
Scrolling
When this option is enabled, if a high level of
magnification is used and text does not fit the screen, Mobile Magnifier will
automatically scroll to let you read the entire text without pressing any key.
The default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
Scrolling Speed
This option controls the rate at which Mobile
Magnifier automatically pans the text when the “Scrolling” feature is enabled.
There are 10 different scrolling speeds to choose from. Default setting is 3
for the Normal MS Profile, 1 for the Beginner MS Profile, and 5 for the
Advanced MS Profile.
Border
Mobile Magnifier can draw a border outside the
magnification area. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile,
“ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Border Width
The width of the border can be customized to your
preference. The default setting is “Small” for the Normal MS Profile, “Large”
for the Beginner MS Profile, and “Small” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Border Color
The color of the border can be customized according to
your preference (White / Red / Green / Black / Yellow / Blue). The default
setting is “Red” for all MS Profiles.
Font Smoothing
Mobile Magnifier is the first solution for the Symbian
platform to offer this very important feature for the visually impaired.
Enabling this option smoothes the corners, curves and
edges of the magnified screen contents to make them appear less jagged when
enlarged and thus easier to read, even for extended lengths of time.
Here is an example:
|
|
|
The default setting is “ON” for the Normal and
Beginner MS Profiles, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Color Scheme
Mobile Magnifier has 7 different color schemes:
Normal, Black and White, Grayscale (low resolution), Grayscale (high
resolution), Color (low resolution), Color (high resolution), and Inverse
Colors – meeting the needs of all users with varying degrees of vision impairment.
The default setting is “Normal” for all MS Profiles.
Enhanced
Color Scheme
When enabled, the Enhanced Color Scheme option will
load a theme which has been specially designed to improve visibility of text.
This theme is loaded into all applications, providing better readability of
text. The default setting is “OFF” for all profiles.
Status Shortcuts
Enabling this feature gives you access to the
following information screens:
Pressing the left softkey
for half a second, the screen will show an icon indicating the battery level,
network status and current time – all displayed with large icons and fonts.
Pressing the right softkey
for half a second, the screen will show icons indicating if there are missed
calls, unread messages and the date with large numbers.
You can enable or disable this feature using the
“Status Shortcuts” setting. The default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
Distributed Zoom Level
This is the secondary magnification level used for the
title and softkey areas of the Distributed Views
layout type. Default setting is 2x for all MS profiles.
Text Cursor
You can replace the default system cursor with your
own customized text cursor - change its width and color, and turn blinking on
or off. You can enable or disable this feature using the Text Cursor setting.
The default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
Text Cursor Color
You can customize the color of the text cursor (White
/ Red / Green / Black / Yellow / Blue). The default setting is “Red” for all MS
Profiles.
Cursor Size
You can customize the size of the text cursor (Small,
Medium, or Large). The default setting is “Large” for the Normal MS Profile,
“Large” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “Small” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Cursor Blinking
You can control the blinking of the text cursor with
this setting (ON or OFF). The default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS
Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS
Profile.
Options
Under the Left Soft Key
When a specific profile is selected and you
press the left soft key inside the Configure Mobile Speak application, the
following list of options appears:
Change
This option is available when configuring a particular
MS Profile setting. A new screen appears where you can change the currently
highlighted item. Note that for items that only allow ON/OFF settings, pressing
“Change” will toggle the setting instead of opening a new screen.
Apply to All Profiles
This option applies the setting of the currently
highlighted item to all MS Profiles. For example, if the currently highlighted
item is Volume and it is set to 4, then by pressing “Apply to All Profiles”,
all MS Profiles will be set to have a volume of 4. Note that the only exception
to this is the Profile Name setting. Pressing “Apply to All Profiles” has no
effect on this setting, because it is confusing to have two profiles with the
same name.
Product Activation submenu: By SMS
To activate Mobile Speak by SMS. If
this is not done, MS will only work for 10 minutes.
Product Activation submenu: By Internet

for your particular device. If a key that is not available is selected as the
Command Key, it has the same effect as if “None” were selected.
The initial setting
for Command Key 1 is “Default”.
Command Key submenu: Command key 2
Mobile Speak allows a second Command Key to be configured.
This can be particularly useful in the case of flip or slider phones like the
E75 or E90, where it may be convenient to have different Function keys with the
keyboard closed or opened. The list of keys that can be selected and the
general usage is identical to that of Command Key 1 – please see the previous

Dictionary
Please refer to the "User Dictionary"
section below for more information on this feature.
Braille Submenu: Configure Devices
The “Configure Devices” submenu item of the Braille
menu opens the Braille device manager, which presents a list of the currently paired
Braille devices. You can add additional devices to this list, delete a device,
view information about a device, or connect to the currently selected device.
To add a Braille device to the list:
1. Select
“Add new device” from the Options menu opened with the left softkey.
Mobile Speak will present you with a list of supported
devices.
2. Select
your device from the list.
The Device Manager will perform a Bluetooth search to
establish a connection. Once the device has been configured, you may connect
and disconnect it by selecting “Connect” from the options menu, or by using the
Edit + Dial key shortcut. Note that you can add more than one Braille device in
the Device Manager, so switching between Braille devices is possible.
To delete, show information, or connect to a device,
select the corresponding entry from the device manager list, and select the
appropriate command from the Options menu.
Braille
Submenu: Turn Braille on/off
This submenu item of the Braille menu performs the
same function as the Edit + Dial key combination, which is to connect to the
currently configured Braille device, or disconnect from the device if a
connection is active. If no Braille device has been configured, an appropriate
information message is displayed.
Restore
Defaults
This option will have a different function depending
upon where focus is when it is selected. If it is pressed while customizing an
MS Profile, then all the settings for the MS Profile being customized will be
restored to their defaults. However, if this option is pressed from the initial
screen of the Mobile Speak configuration panel (i.e. the screen with the list
of MS Profiles displayed), then all of Mobile Speak’s
factory default settings will be restored and the phone will be restarted
(note: in Symbian 9, the phone will not restart). In both cases, the user will
be prompted to confirm in order to proceed.
Help
A description of all the Command Shortcuts is provided
in the Help menu.
About
The date and version of Mobile Speak, copyright
information, as well as the status of licenses (for every Code Factory product
installed on the phone) and the Device Serial Number (SN) will be spoken.
7.10
TTS and Voices
Mobile Speak supports
voices from several different text-to-speech technology providers, including Acapela, Fonix, and Loquendo. You can install as many voices for as many
languages as you want, provided there is enough space on your device's memory
or storage card to accommodate the TTS files. It is strongly advised that you
always install TTS voices to the storage card in order to have as much free
space in the device's main memory for running programs and storing data that
cannot be moved to the storage card.
For each TTS voice
installed, you can configure different parameters including the rate of
speaking, pitch and volume, as well as a user dictionary for pronunciations
that will be used if that voice is selected. For more information about
configuring these and other parameters, please see “Configure Mobile Speak” in
this manual.
An important new feature
in Mobile Speak 4 is the ability to use up to three languages from a given TTS
provider with only a single license. In other words, if you purchase a license
for Mobile Speak with the Acapela TTS, you can use up
to three Acapela voices for the price of one. This
can be useful if you prefer different voices for different types of
applications, or if you would like to install voices in different languages and
always have them available. You can also uninstall a given voice and install a
different one from the same TTS provider as often as you like without obtaining
a new license.
If you would like to install
more than three voices from a specific TTS provider, additional licenses can be
purchased. Please contact your distributor for more information.

Mobile Speak 4 Touch Interface
Mobile Speak 4 allows you to completely control your device using the touch
screen only. You can, of course, combine touch gestures and key commands in
order to obtain the best experience using your device depending on its design
and hardware features. It is always up to you to use touch gestures, keyboard
shortcuts, or both.
8.1 Navigation Gestures
You
can move around and select items using the touch screen in the same way as you
do with the arrows and Enter key. You can perform these actions with the
following gestures:
·
Double
tap (anywhere on the screen): Simulates the Enter key on the element in focus.
·
Slide
up/down/left/right: Simulate arrow keys. To perform a slide just touch the
screen and slide your finger over it in the desired direction, then release the
screen. Touch movements should cover a distance of about 30% of the screen
length or greater, but do not need to span the entire width or height of the
display. Slides should also be performed around the center of the screen, since
many phones have a non-touch-sensitive area around the edges of the device.
Note also that you do not need to slide very fast; it should take approximately
1 second to slide the whole screen width or height.
8.2 Using Touch Commands
The
touch screen has been divided into 4 virtual keys named 1 to 4 clockwise and
starting on the upper-left corner on the screen. This will sound familiar to
users of previous versions of Mobile Speak Pocket. Imagine that you have 4 keys
on the touch screen, and if you press the upper left corner area you are
pressing the virtual key 1. The upper right part of the touch screen is the
virtual key 2, virtual key 3 is placed near the bottom right corner and, the
bottom left part of the touch screen corresponds to the virtual key 4.
For
example, long tap 1 will show you the Start Menu of the device, long tap 2
closes the application you are in, tap 3 performs the command Stop Speaking,
long tap 3 toggles the new Privacy Mode (Windows Mobile Only), and long tap 4 locks
the screen.
Some
commands have been grouped in order to give you intuitive access to them. This
way you have 3 secondary command groups named "Speak",
"Go-to", and "Settings" command layouts.
As
its name indicates, the Speak command layout contains commands which will make
Mobile Speak give information to you (read date and time, read device status,
repeat last spoken text) and reading commands.
The
Go-to layout allows you to launch applications, press the soft-keys, move to
previous or next control, launch special tools like the touch keyboard or the
application switcher, etc.
The
Settings layout allows you to configure Mobile Speak, mute, speech rate,
volume, keyboard echo, etc.
These
3 secondary command layouts are accessible after the gestures:
·
Tap
1: brings up the Go-to command layout.
·
Tap
2: brings up the Settings command layout.
·
Tap
4: brings up the Speak command layout.
For
example, to have Mobile Speak read the device status you should use the command
double tap 2 in the Speak layout. To do this, you first need to activate the
Speak layout with Tap 4. Mobile Speak will say "Speak", indicating
that you have activated your desired layout. Then double tap 2 (read device
status) and you will get the desired information.
Another
example: imagine that you want to have Mobile Speak read the soft keys. To do
that just tap 4 (Speak) and then tap 1, which is the gesture associated with
the read soft keys command under the Speak layout.
This
way you can perform any command with two touch gestures at most. In addition to
this, that you have some gestures directly available in the default mode. For
example, on Windows Mobile devices, Show Start Menu is assigned to long tap 1.
Note
that when you enter into a secondary command layout it is possible to have
different functions associated with the directional slides (more information
can be found in the full command description section). For example, if you Tap
2, bringing up the Settings command layout, sliding up and down will respectively
increase and decrease the volume and sliding left and right will modify the
speech rate.
Once
you bring up a secondary command layout there are two ways to go back to the
default assignment. There's a timeout which will send you back to the default after
10 seconds of inactivity, or you can triple tap the screen to force Mobile
Speak to reset its touch input to default.
To
learn all the touch screen commands, see http://www.codefactory.es/MS4/MS4Commands.doc
8.3 Command List
The command
list is a useful way of using the phone if you do not wish to learn the touch
screen commands as it allows you to reach the available commands through the
touch interface. Apart from performing commands normally by taps, double taps,
and so on, you can slide and hold (i.e., slide in any direction, then stop
moving and keep your finger on the screen until the voice announcement is
heard) and Mobile Speak will speak "Command List".
Once this
happens, you can access the available commands by sliding up and down in the
same way as if it were a menu. This mode lists the available commands for the
current layout, so by default you have access to Open Start Menu, Go-to,
Settings, Stop speech, Speak, etc; if you are in the
"Speak" command layout then this menu will give you access to the
speak specific commands like read date and time, read current screen, etc. Use
the command list to perform commands if you do not remember the gesture
sequence to reach the desired functionality. For example, you know that Tap 4
is "Speak", but you do not remember where in the Speak command group
the read date and time function may be. In this case you can Tap 4 (Speak) and
then slide and hold the screen to have access to the list of commands available
on the Speak group.
The
commands are listed sequentially so you can easily select the one you want. The
available gestures when you launch the Command List are:
· Slide up/down: Move to the previous/next
available command.
· Slide left/right: Move to the
previous/next available commands 3 by 3 (kind of next/prev
page; useful for long menus). Note that this is available only on Windows
Mobile.
· Tap (anywhere): Get help about the
current command. Note that this is available only on Windows
Mobile.
· Double tap (anywhere): Execute the
current command.
· Triple tap (anywhere): Close the
command list and return to the default gesture mode for the current command
layout.
· You can also tap and hold and move
your finger up and down around the screen in order to explore the list of
commands.
8.4 More Tips and Tricks
·
Triple tap is an
excellent way to reset, or "return to normality" in most cases. If
you get lost simply triple tap the screen to return to the default state.
Moreover, triple tap will also allow you to turn off mute, exit the review
cursor, exit the virtual touch keyboard, unlock the device, exit the command
list, and, on Windows Mobile devices, identify the caller ID when the phone is
ringing.
·
Keyboard Help mode,
available for Windows Mobile, can be activated with touch by Tap 1 (Go to) +
Tap 2. To deactivate it, perform the same sequence. It is a great way to learn
the touch screen commands.
· At any time you can activate the
Stylus Mode with a long press of the Up Volume key. In this mode, you can use
the screen without having the Mobile Speak touch interface enabled. Therefore
you can tap what you see. It is useful for sighted people who may need to use
the device with or without Mobile Speak. To go back to the touch mode, press
the volume up key once more. Touch gestures are available even when Stylus Mode
is on by pressing the Command key followed by the gesture. The command key will
temporarily allow you to perform Mobile Speak touch gestures, and once the
command modifier is turned off Stylus Mode will work normally again. When
issuing a long press of the volume up key (Toggle Stylus Mode), if the system
volume is set to 0, the volume will automatically be set mid-way, in order to
prevent users from accidentally lowering the volume and not knowing how to
restore it. Note that Stylus Mode will not be changed in this case, and Mobile
Speak will say "Mobile Speak" in order to let the user know that the
volume has been restored.
·
After performing the
Speak Softkeys command by Tap 4 (speak) + Tap 1 (read
soft keys) you have 5 seconds to directly activate the desired softkey by a single Tap 4 (left soft key) or Tap 3 (right
soft key). During this time you won't need to press Tap 1 (Go-to) and then the
desired soft key.

8.6 Miscellaneous
·
Dialed characters will not be spoken
if the option "Silent while dialing" is selected in Mobile Speak's Control Panel.
·
In Windows Mobile, upon installing
Mobile Speak, in the Mobile Speak Control Panel you can set the default dialer
for the phone application, thus making it accessible. If the keypad is shown,
you can use the Go to next control command, and then use the arrow keys + enter
in order to navigate and dial numbers.
8.7 Virtual Touch Keyboard
There are
several methods for entering text using Mobile Speak. If your device includes a
physical keyboard, this will probably be the most convenient and efficient
method. Additionally, you can use an external QWERTY or Braille keyboard.
However, Mobile Speak also includes an on-screen virtual keyboard which allows
you to enter text using the touch screen.
The virtual
touch input method works by directly entering the characters on the touch
screen of the device. When you activate this input method, a virtual keyboard
is enabled on the screen. Use the stylus or your finger to select a character,
keeping contact with the screen as you move through the characters. When a
character is selected, Mobile Speak will speak that character. To insert the
character that is currently selected, just lift your finger or the stylus from
the screen. Note that as soon as you release the character held at the tip of
the stylus or finger, it is inserted. The stylus or your finger should
therefore remain pressed to the screen until you find the character that you
wish to insert.
To activate
the virtual keyboard, use tap 1 + long tap 4. To exit the virtual keyboard
mode, triple tap anywhere on the screen.
There are
five keyboard types in this input method: lower case, upper case, symbol,
numbers, and phone keypad. You can change the current keyboard type using
double tap 2 or double tap 3.
In Windows
Mobile, you can use the Control Panel to set all keyboard layouts as portrait
(useful if your touch screen is square and you do not get much benefit with the
landscape mode). The numbers and phone keypad layouts will always be displayed
in portrait mode, whereas you can choose to display the lower case, upper case,
and symbol keyboard layouts as portrait or landscape from the Control Panel.
To set the
keyboard layout to portrait or landscape, go to Configure Mobile Speak, then to
Touch. Please note Windows Mobile users must keep in mind the display of the 4
quadrants when using a specific keyboard layout. For example, if you use a
keyboard layout which has been set to portrait, quadrant 1 will be at the top
left of the screen when you hold the phone in portrait. If it has been set to
landscape, quadrant 1 will be at the top left of the screen when you hold the
phone in landscape. Therefore quadrant 1 on portrait mode would be quadrant 4
on landscape mode, and quadrant 2 on portrait mode would be quadrant 1 on
landscape. Therefore, it is important that you always know whether your
keyboard layout is set to portrait or landscape and remember that numbers and
phone keypad layouts will always be displayed in portrait mode, whereas you can
choose to display the lower case, upper case and symbol keyboard layouts as
portrait or landscape from the Control Panel.
Note that the phone keypad layout
should be automatically selected if you launch the touch keyboard from the
Today Screen or Phone application in Windows Mobile.
In
addition, for Windows Mobile there are two keyboard modes available: dynamic
and normal (use tap 1 to toggle between them). When you first open the virtual
keyboard you are, by default, in the dynamic keyboard. This means that wherever
you first put your finger is the letter H or the number 5 for numeric keyboard
layouts. On the normal keyboard you will only find the letter H at the middle
of the screen.
You can
also choose between various input languages by using double tap 1 or double tap
4. The available languages depend on the TTS you have installed. For example,
if you have a French and English voice installed, you will toggle between
QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards.
While you
are writing with the virtual keyboard, use tap 2 to backspace (you do not have
to look for the Backspace key every time you want to delete a character) and
tap 3 to perform the Enter key.
Sliding up/down/left/right allow you
to navigate the text while you are working with the touch keyboard.
The following summary lists the
commands that are available in virtual keyboard mode:

Review
Cursor
Although Mobile
Speak provides access to most of the controls and text on the display, there
may be situations where the text or graphical information that you require is
not readily accessible with the standard navigation commands. This may be due
to a number of reasons including the information in question being embedded in
a static text control or the use of non-standard controls by the developers of
third-party applications and Web pages.
In order to get
around inaccessible controls, Mobile Speak includes a special review cursor
that lets you navigate through the entire screen and read the text or graphics
which are otherwise hard to access. In some instances, you may also move focus
to an item selected in Review Cursor mode.
To activate
Review Cursor mode and read the entire screen, press the Home key + 3 in the
Default layout. While in Review Cursor mode, you cannot perform MS commands
involving the Home key. To turn off the review cursor manually, press the Home
key. Mobile Speak will say “Review Cursor off”.
When the Review
Cursor mode is active, use the arrow keys to navigate through the contents of
the current screen or the window. The left and right arrow keys move the cursor
by character, while the up and down arrow keys move the cursor one line at a
time.
If you would like to try to place focus on an item (this usually works with
list views like a list of files and folders that Mobile Speak cannot read
properly) using the review cursor, navigate to that item and press the Enter
key. If you checked the option “Turn off Review Cursor when doing an action”
(unchecked by default) under Mobile Speak Control Panel > Main Settings >
General, the Mobile Speak cursor will automatically be turned off and focus
will be placed on that item if possible. Press Enter again if you want to
activate that item (e.g., open the file or folder). If the option listed above
is unchecked, the Review Cursor will remain active until you manually
deactivate it by pressing the Command key.
9.1
Review
Cursor for Touch Screen Devices
In addition to the functionality described above, using Review Cursor mode on
touch screen devices also allows you to navigate the phone interface
intuitively, by moving your finger over the screen while Mobile Speak reads the
contents as you touch them. To activate the Review Cursor mode using the touch
screen, use tap 1 + double tap 3. To exit Review Cursor mode without selecting
anything, triple tap anywhere on the screen.
You can
either move your finger around the screen and Mobile Speak will read what is
under your finger, or you can move between the items which are on the screen
with slides up, down, left and right.
· Double tap: select current item.
· Slide left/right: previous/next
character.
· Slide up/down: previous/next line.
· Tap 1: previous word.
· Tap 2: next word.
· Tap 4: move to home.
· Tap 3: Advanced commands, which
include Tap 1 (text format information), Tap 2 (show Graphics Labeler).
Graphics Labeler is only available on Windows Mobile.
Note: if you want to label graphics, Graphics
Verbosity must be on. To activate Graphic Verbosity, exit the Review Cursor
(triple tap), tap 2 (settings layout), and long tap 2 (toggle Graphic
Verbosity).
10 Braille
Mobile Speak can provide output through electronic
refreshable Braille devices. Both text and control information will be
available in Braille as you navigate around the mobile phone environment.
Furthermore, using devices with Braille input keys, you can create and edit
documents with any of the currently supported Braille grades and languages.
Through the Braille page found in Mobile Speak’s configuration utility, users can set up connections
with any number of supported Braille devices and easily switch between two or
more of these at any time. Please refer to the section on configuring Mobile
Speak in this document for more details on the various Braille configuration
options which are available.
10.1 Getting Started
For some devices (including those from HumanWare, BAUM, and Handy Tech), the first step in using
Braille with Mobile Speak is to pair the Braille display with your device.
Please check the documentation for your Braille device to find out the passcode
used to connect with other devices. This may be specific to the serial number
of the Braille device unit. Otherwise, you may use any string of numbers,
normally no shorter than four digits, like 1234 which is the default passcode
used by most Bluetooth-enabled devices. All Bluetooth devices use an
authentication number when users attempt to establish a connection between
them, thereby securing that connection.
Once the Braille device is added in the Braille page,
there is no need to repeat the steps required to set it up for use with Mobile
Speak, and you can toggle Braille on/off at any time. You will only need to
repeat the process when:
·
You perform a hard
reset.
·
You delete the
Bluetooth partnership between your Braille device and your mobile phone.
·
You remove the Braille
device from the Braille page.
·
You completely
uninstall Mobile Speak and reinstall it or upgrade to a new version.
·
Something has changed
with the Braille device that alters its Bluetooth address.
10.2
Entering
and Editing Text Using Braille
When focus lands on an edit
control, Braille output automatically switches to edit mode so that Mobile
Speak displays the text cursor by raising dots 7 and 8. At present, this
tactile cursor is only available when 6- or 8-dot computer Braille is selected.
If there is an uppercase character at the cursor position, the dots will
alternate, meaning that dot 8 is raised while dot 7 is not. If text selection
commands are used, dots 7 and 8 will both appear in all the cells of the
selected text.
When typing text using Grade 1 or
2 Braille, remember that the text is not translated until you press Space or
Enter, or perform a command that moves focus or displays a message. Keep in
mind that the Braille grade used for input is not necessarily the same one set
for Braille output, so use the appropriate commands for configuring input and
output Braille grades in order to be certain.
You can use the backspace command
assigned to the key combination specific to your Braille device while typing in
whichever grade to delete the character to the left of the text cursor. Note
that this command may be used even before the text typed in grade 1 or 2 Braille
is translated. If you wish to clear everything you have typed so far that has
not yet been translated, use the Braille Escape command available on all
supported Braille devices.
11
Magnification
Mobile
Magnifier is a full-screen magnification application that enlarges and improves
readability of screen contents, detects areas of interest to make them more
visible, and offers hotkeys to obtain a magnified view of screen icons
conveying non-textual information. With Mobile Magnifier you can:
· Enlarge screen contents in ten
variable levels of magnification.
· Smooth curves and edges of magnified
fonts and graphics.
· Access seven different color schemes
for better visual contrast.
· Magnify the whole screen or just
areas of interest.
· Easily pan and scroll screen
contents even in magnified view.
Although
licensed separately, Mobile Magnifier can be installed together with Mobile
Speak, making it easy to provide speech output and screen magnification at the
same time if desired.
11.1 Exploring the Mobile Phone Screen
Although
Mobile Magnifier will automatically detect the area of interest and magnify it
in real-time, there may be instances where freely exploring the entire screen
is needed. In order to do this, you can press and hold the arrow keys at any time while Mobile Magnifier is
running to pan the screen contents.
In
addition, on Windows Mobile devices Mobile Magnifier provides a mode called
“Lens”. While in this mode,
you can use the stylus or finger directly on the touch screen in order to move
the lens around the screen. At any time, you can tap once or tap twice quickly
on areas that are inside the lens as you would normally do with the touch
screen. Moving the lens around the screen can also be accomplished by using the
arrow keys. This makes the lens available even on devices that do not have a
touch screen.
11.2 Starting and Stopping Mobile Magnifier
Mobile
Magnifier can be started or stopped in any of the following ways:
· Pressing the Command Key + Long 0
· From the Code Factory folder located
under the phone’s Start Menu
· Tap 2 (Settings) + tap 4 through the
touch screen
On Windows
Mobile devices, you can also start and stop Mobile Magnifier from the
Magnification page on the Home Screen.
11.3 Configuring Mobile Magnifier
Mobile
Magnifier provides a wide range of configuration settings to fit the needs of
each user and provide the best user experience for each different phone. These
settings can be configured from the Magnification Page found in the Mobile
Speak configuration utility. Please see to the section on configuring Mobile
Speak elsewhere in this manual for more details.
11.4 Uninstalling Mobile Magnifier
On Windows
Mobile phones, it is possible to uninstall Mobile Magnifier while keeping
Mobile Speak installed. To do so, select the option “Remove Mobile Magnifier
from my device” found in the Magnification page under the Mobile Speak Control
Panel.

User
Dictionary
You can change
the way your current TTS voice pronounces words through Mobile Speak’s User Dictionary.
There are several
ways to access the User Dictionary:
· Command key + Long 4
· Windows Mobile devices: through the Mobile Speak
Control Panel, under the Voices option found in the Profile Configuration page.
· Symbian devices: through Configure Mobile Speak,
press the left soft key and select ‘User Dictionary’.
When opened, the
User Dictionary application shows a list of all the licensed TTSs that you have
installed on your phone. If none are licensed, all installed TTS will appear.
User dictionary tool options are:
· Add new word: adds a word to the user dictionaries
of all the marked TTSs regardless if it is in capitals. For example, ‘Hello’
will be considered the same word as ‘hello’. This option consists of two steps:
first, you have to enter the word to be replaced and then the replacement word.
Note that you must first mark at least one TTS in order to add a new word;
otherwise the message “No dictionaries marked” will appear.
· Add new case-sensitive word: adds a word to the
user dictionary of all the marked TTSs differentiating them by the use of capital
letter. Example: ‘Hello’ will be considered as different to ‘hello’. To add a
new case-sensitive word, follow the same steps above. Note that you must also
first mark at least one TTS in order to add a new word; otherwise the message
“No dictionaries marked” will appear.
· Mark/Unmark: allows you to mark or unmark specific
TTSs, so that operations such as “Add new word” will be performed on multiple
TTSs. Note that pressing the Joystick Enter key toggles the Marked / Unmarked
status of the current TTS.
· Show word list: shows all the words contained in
the selected TTS. It appears as a list, but you can also do a quick search by
typing the word (like in the Contacts application). This feature is useful when
there are hundreds of words. When a word is selected it can be deleted or
edited.
· Refresh dictionary list: updates the TTS list.
This option can be useful, for example, if you have just installed a new user
dictionary via the PC tool and the dictionary has not yet been automatically
updated.
· Reset Dictionary: deletes the user dictionary of
the selected TTS. Note that pressing the Clear key has the same effect.
· Help: speaks help information regarding the usage
of the User Dictionary.
Now we also
support the following punctuation signs when adding words to the user
dictionary (for both case-sensitive or insensitive): ! " # $ % & ‘ ( )
* + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] [ ^ _ ` { } ~
Please note
that there is no need to reload the current TTS in order to reflect changes
when adding words. This is done automatically when a word is added or deleted.
Here are some
general things to keep in mind when using the user dictionary:
· You can add phrases to the user dictionary;
however it behaves differently than when adding a single word. Mobile Speak
only replaces phrases that are exactly as defined in the user dictionary. For
example: If we replace "Missed calls", then when speaking "2
Missed calls" it won't be replaced as this text is not exactly the same as
the phrase in the dictionary.
· The user dictionaries are stored on the phone in
files called userdict.dat. There is a different file for each TTS, and
the location of each userdict.dat file depends on the TTS and voice that
are used. The folder where the files are stored is in the format /data/TTS_Name/TTS_Language/[TTS_Voice/]. Fr example, the Acapela Spanish Javier user dictionary is stored at /data/speechacapela/Spanish/Javier/userdict.dat. Unless you
have first copied a user dictionary to a different memory location, the files
will always be created on the C: drive (i.e. phone memory). If you’d like to
share your User Dictionary with other phones, you simply need to transfer the userdict.dat
file to the other phones and place it in the same folder.
13
Browsing
the Web
Mobile
Speak provides powerful web browsing capabilities on all supported devices.
13.1
Symbian
Devices
The web browser is available on all Symbian 3rd
and 5th edition phones. Mobile Speak provides easy to use and
powerful access to web content via the Web browser, allowing you to navigate
web pages in the way you are used to with your desktop screen reader. In most
phones, this browser is called "Web". In 9.2, 9.3, and 5th
edition phones, it is the default browser and the only one preinstalled on the
device. It can also be launched by doing a long press of the “0” key from the
standby screen. In 9.1 phones, it is not the default browser - the default
browser is typically called "Services" and is also supported by
Mobile Speak. If you have a 9.1 phone and want to use the newly supported Web
browser, make sure that you are launching the correct browser (i.e. the one
typically called "Web").
Mobile Speak provides support for the web browser by
means of a virtual cursor. The default keypress
functionality has been changed in order to provide special functionality and
allow easy navigation through the web page. While a page is loading, press
“joystick up” to hear how much data has already been loaded and how much
remains (e.g. 123 of 456 KB). Once a page is fully loaded, a page summary with
the number of frames, headings, elements and links will be spoken. Once
this is spoken, you can begin to navigate the page using the Mobile Speak
virtual cursor. Note: you must wait until the page is fully loaded to start
using the Mobile Speak virtual cursor.
Please keep in mind that you will need an Internet
connection in order to use this web browser. If you do not connect via WLAN,
please check the data plan of your operator so that you know exactly what
charges are involved with downloading Internet data.
Below is a summary of the virtual cursor commands
currently available:
· Joystick
down: Move forward one element in the web page.
· Joystick
up: Move back one element in the web page.
· Joystick
right: Jump forward one element based on the current Jump Mode. The Jump Mode
can be changed by pressing the keys 2-8 (see below). The default Jump Mode
whenever a new page is loaded is "Jump by Links".
· Joystick
left: Jump back one element based on the current Jump Mode. The Jump Mode can
be changed by pressing the keys 2-8 (see below). The default Jump Mode whenever
a new page is loaded is "Jump by Links".
· 0:
Toggles between start and end of a page.
· 2:
C for Control. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump to same control; Jump to
different control; Jump to graphical control.
· 3:
F for Forms. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by forms; Jump by editors;
Jump by buttons; Jump by checkbox and radio button; Jump by combo box and list
box.
· 4:
H for Headings. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by headings and frames;
Jump by headings; Jump by frames.
· 5:
L for Links. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by links; Jump by non-links;
Jump by in-page links.
· 6: M
for Move. Move forward or backward in the page by a fixed percentage of the
page size (in elements). Options are: 2%, 5%, and 10%. Information about the
current element number in the page is also provided to give an indication of
your current location in the page.
· 7:
P for Paragraph. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by paragraph and block
quotes; Jump by paragraph; Jump by block quotes.
· 8:
T for Tables. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by table and list; Jump by
list; Jump by table.
· 9:
Read to end of page. This will speak the contents of the page, starting at the
current element. Press the * key to stop speaking, and the virtual cursor will
be positioned at the element where you stopped.
· Clear:
Move backwards in the current page using your navigation history. This provides
a convenient way to trace back the steps as you navigate through a page.
· Send
key: Opens a search window, allowing the user to enter a search term. The left
and right joystick keys can then be used to repeatedly jump through and move to
the next found element.
· Enter:
Appropriate behaviour depending on the type of control. For example, when
currently focused on a link, navigate to the link. When currently focused on a
text entry box, open the editor so that text can be entered.
The left and right soft keys have their normal
functionality in the web browser. The left soft key pops up a menu of available
browser options, while the right soft key allows the user to move back to the
previous page.
Note: JavaScript must be enabled in the Web Settings
menu (it is enabled by default, so unless you have disabled it this should not
be an issue).

8. U.S.
GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS.
If the
Software is acquired under the terms of a GSA contract, use, reproduction or
disclosure is subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable ADP Schedule
contract. If the Software is acquired under the terms of a DOD or civilian
agency contract, use, duplication or disclosure by the government is subject to
the restrictions of this license in accordance with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 of the
Federal Acquisition Regulations and its successors and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 of
the DOD FAR Supplement and its successors.
9.
EMERGENCY CALLS.
The devices
on which the Software operates use radio signals, wireless, and landline
networks as well as user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in
all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore,
you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be
possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or
phone features are in use. Check with local cellular service providers to
determine the methods for placing emergency calls.
To make an
emergency call:
A) if the
phone is not turned on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some
networks may require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the phone.
B) press
the hang up key as many times as necessary (for example, to exit a call, to
exit a menu, etc.) in order to clear the display and prepare the phone for
calls.
C) key in
the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or other
official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
D) press
the dial key. If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those
features off before you can make an emergency call.
Consult
your local cellular service provider for more information.
When making
an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. Keep in mind that your wireless phone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident – do not end the call until given
permission to do so.
10.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
According
to the regulations in force referring to royalties, especially the revised text
of “Ley Española de Propiedad Intelectual”
approved by “Real Decreto Legislativo
1/1996” of 12th April, in Articles 1, 5.2, 8, 95 and further concurrent ones,
and as per the international agreements on this matter, in particular the Bern
Agreement as well as the Geneva Convention and Council Management of European
Communities of 14th May 1991 about legal protection of computer programs, Code
