Mobile
Speak 4 is cross-platform, touch, multi-voice, and ready for the next
generation.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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 HTC Touch Pro 2, as
well as the latest versions of Windows Mobile. 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.
In addition
to supporting the latest handsets, Mobile Speak 4 also offers many new
features, including:
· New keyboard shortcuts.
· The possibility to add new user
profiles and assign a specific voice to a specific application (calendar,
messages, contacts, etc).
· Back light option - disable or reduce
the backlight to save battery power.
· Stop Mobile Speak while it is
speaking.
· Support for 8 of the latest Acapela
voices: Dutch Belgian Jeroen, French Margaux, Greek Dimitris, Norwegian Olav,
Portuguese Brazilian Marcia, Russian Alyona, Spanish Antonio, and Turkish Ipek.
New
features in Mobile Speak 4 for Windows Mobile include:
· Advanced support for Internet
Explorer, you can now navigate by the control of your choice.
· Configurable command key.
· Rewind speech output feature.
· More vibration feedback.
· Command feedback option - when
enabled, Mobile Speak will speak the name of the key after pressing it.
· Toggle audio routing feature
allowing a switch between normal, phone speaker and Bluetooth headset.
· Privacy mode to use the phone with
Mobile Speak in a normal way but without letting people see what is on the
screen. When enabled, a static background image is displayed on the screen.
· Improved Braille manager to activate
supported Braille devices.
· Support for 6 new languages: Dutch
Belgian, Finnish, French Canadian, Icelandic, Portuguese Brazilian, and Spanish
US.
· Support for 14 more Acapela voices:
English UK Rachel and Kate, Finnish Matti and Sanna, French Canadian Louise,
German Julia, Icelandic Snorri, Italian Vittorio, Norwegian Vegard, Polish
Ania, Portuguese Eusebio, Portuguese Brazilian Felipe, Spanish US Rosa, and
Swedish Elin.
· Support for 3 new Loquendo voices:
Polish Krysztof and Zosia, and Spanish Carmen.
The latest v4.50 of Mobile Speak introduces many new
features. These include:
·
New Keypad and Joystick modes on
touch devices. These new modes simulate the phone’s Keypad and Joystick, providing
the most rapid, accessible touch-screen experience ever seen on a mobile Touch
device.
·
Mobile
Speak 4.5 also features a new Braille touch input mode.
·
On Touch devices, the Command +
Volume Up and Command + Volume Down commands have been added to allow rapid
change of the touch mode. In addition, users can now select the preferred touch
mode on startup.
·
Support
for the Focus Blue 40 Braille portable device from Freedom Scientific.
Mobile
Speak’s new and improved installation is easy and straight forward. We strongly
recommend that you read the installation instructions and we also recommend the
use of express setup.
Important:
Mobile Magnifier is now a component of Mobile Speak and is installed with
Mobile Speak by default with the Express installation.
Before installing
Mobile Speak, please make sure you comply with the following requirements:
1. Verify that you have a device supported by
Mobile Speak for Windows Mobile. Check that either it is in the Device
Compatibility List available on www.codefactory.es or that it meets the
following system requirements:
a. The mobile device should be running version 5.0
or later of the Windows Mobile operating system.
b. The mobile device has at least 32 MB of
internal program memory (RAM), and 2 to 20 MB of storage memory depending on
the text-to-speech engine to be used. Having a storage card compatible with
your device is strongly recommended.
c. The mobile device should be able to connect,
via USB or Bluetooth, to a computer running Windows 2000 or later.
2. Install the latest version of Microsoft
ActiveSync (for Windows XP and 2000) or Windows Mobile Device Center (for
Windows Vista and Windows 7) or on your computer. Refer to the Microsoft
Windows Mobile Synchronization page for details and download links.
3. Make sure that the correct date and time is set
on your computer.
4. Connect your device to your computer.
5. Establish a partnership (guest or standard)
between your computer and Windows Mobile-powered device. If you encounter
problems, refer to the ActiveSync Troubleshooting Guide or the Windows Mobile
Device Center FAQ and Tips.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
· If you already have Mobile Speak installed
on the device and wish to upgrade to a new version or reinstall the current
one, you must uninstall the current version. Please refer to “Removing Mobile
Speak / Mobile Magnifier / Braille Component / TTS” before installing.
· Remember that the instructions given
here require that you are using a Windows PC. If you are using a computer
running the Mac OS or a Linux distribution, please refer to
“Installation using Non-Windows OS”.
· If you encounter connectivity problems
between your mobile device and your PC, please see “Installation using
Non-Windows OS”.
· If you are using a computer that is
not running Windows XP or later, you will need to download and install a zip
utility program such as WinZip or 7Zip, and use this to extract the installer
(.exe) file before running it.
· Do not copy the ZIP or EXE file to the
mobile device because the installer cannot be executed from there.
· Since Mobile Speak can be installed
on the mobile device remotely from a desktop PC, the process is fully
accessible with a screen reader. Mobile Magnifier cannot be installed as a
standalone application, trying to install Mobile magnifier will automatically
select and install Mobile Speak.
· Braille and Magnification should be
installed in the first time installation of Mobile Speak as it is not possible
to install them as a separate component.
· If you would only like to install
Mobile Magnifier and not Mobile Speak, we recommend that you perform a custom
installation and deselect the Braille and TTS options in the component
selection screen.
· To install additional TTS, use the
Mobile Speak installer of the TTS and follow the installation instructions
below.
Note – if
you are trying to install additional TTS, the express installation identifies
the installed component on your device and installs the additional TTS
available with the installer.
1. Connect your device to the PC using a USB cable
and ensure that the connection is established through ActiveSync or Windows
Mobile Device Center.
2. Browse to the Mobile Speak Pocket installation
file on your PC using Windows Explorer and press Enter to begin the
installation process. Note that this is the same installer used even if you
want to install Mobile Magnifier.
The End User License Agreement window appears.
3. Read the terms of the product's User License
Agreement carefully.
4. Select the option I agree with the Terms and
Conditions of the End User License Agreement.
5. Tab to and activate the Continue button.
Wait for the installer to connect to your
device and collect information necessary for the installation.
6. Ensure that the Express radio button is
selected.
7. Tab to and activate the Next button.
Wait for the installer to identify best
installation location for your device, extract components, and then install
files on your device.
Note – do not power off or disconnect your
device during this process.
8. Tab to and activate the Done
button when the installation complete message appears.
By this time your device should have started
the reboot process. Wait for your device to start and Mobile Speak’s startup
sound.
Note – if the device does not reboot within 10
minutes, you may soft reset your device and Mobile Speak should start
automatically.
The steps
described below are only for advanced users with in-depth technical
understanding and the ability to control installation based on their experience
with the device and application installations.
Note: if
you are trying to install additional TTS, with Custom Installation you will
only be able to select the voice available with the installer.
1. Start the installation, follow the prompts for
End User License Agreement, and continue with the custom Installation type.
2. Select the installation location of your
choice.
The recommended option is Storage Card.
3. Select and deselect the components based on
your needs. Remember that Mobile Magnifier and Braille should be installed
during the first time installation.
4. If you would like to install using device
prompts, select the “Install the products using Microsoft ActiveSync or Windows
Mobile Device Center” option.
5. Continue installation and follow the prompts on
your device or on PC to complete the installation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
· Before uninstalling TTS, you must confirm
that Mobile Speak is not using the TTS. If it is, change the TTS from Mobile
Speak Configuration Window > Profile Configuration Page > Voice Window.
· To completely uninstall Mobile Speak,
you must first uninstall Mobile Speak and then the installed TTS.
· To remove Mobile Magnifier, select the
Remove Mobile Magnifier from my device option located in Mobile Speak
Configuration > Magnification Page.

Braille support from my device option located in Mobile Speak Configuration
> Braille Page.
You can
uninstall Mobile Speak / TTS using either Microsoft ActiveSync / Windows Mobile
Device Center on your PC or the "Remove Programs" tool on your
Windows Mobile device.
1. Connect the device to your PC.
2. Establish an ActiveSync or Windows Mobile
Device Center partnership.
3. Focus on the ActiveSync window.
4. Go to Tools > Add/Remove Programs (Alt + T,
then M), or select "Programs and Services" in the main screen of
Windows Mobile Device Center, then choose Add/Remove Programs.
5. Select the application you would like to remove
from the list of installed applications.
6. Tab to the Remove button and press Enter.
7. Click OK to confirm.
The device
will automatically restart during the uninstallation process. Please be patient
and do not open Add/Remove Programs at least 60 seconds after a partnership
between your device and PC is established again. If the phone has not restarted
after three minutes, then restart it manually. Note that there are some
smartphones that automatically start charging the battery when connected to the
USB and will not auto-reboot when it is turned off and charging has initiated.
1. Activate the Start menu.
2. Navigate to "Settings" and press Enter.
3. Navigate to "Remove Programs" in the list of items and press
Enter.
4. On a Smartphone: move to desired application in the list of
applications, press the right soft key to open the Menu, arrow to the
"Remove" option and press Enter to activate it.
On a touch device: a multi page dialog opens. Use
Go To command layout to move to the "System" tab page. In the list of
items under the "System" tab, arrow down to "Remove
Programs" and press Enter. Move to and select the application you would
like to remove in the list of applications, hit Enter to select it, move to the
"Remove" button, and press Enter to activate it.
Mobile Speak installers for the Windows Mobile
platform are EXE files that run on Windows PCs. If you have a Macintosh or
Linux machine, or if you are having connectivity problems between your device
and your PC, you will need to extract files from the EXE installer file, copy
some CAB files to the device, and run them on the device with sighted help as
there is no available speech output yet.
If you have a Mac or Linux machine, and cannot
extract the CAB files from the EXE installer, email install-support@codefactory.es
to request the CAB installers. Remember to have TTS name in the subject line.
1.
Save the Mobile Speak installer in a
folder that is easy to remember and ensure there are no other files in the
folder.
We will assume the folder is named
“ABC” and is placed at the root of C:.
2.
Open command prompt by typing “cmd”
in the Start > Run dialog box.
3.
Use the change directory (CD)
command to navigate to the folder containing the installer.
The syntax would be “cd c:\ABC”
4.
Type the Mobile Speak installer file
name with the “-extract” switch.
The syntax would be “MobileSpeak_WM_Fonix_USEnglish_MultiVoice_4.exe
–extract” where “MobileSpeak_WM_Fonix_USEnglish_MultiVoice_4.exe” is
the Mobile Speak installer file name.
5.
Press the Return / Enter key to
start the extraction.
Wait for the process to complete.
You will see the completion message on the command prompt window.
6.
Close all the Command prompt windows
using the “Exit” command.
You will find “MobileSpeak.arm.CAB”
and “Voice_Fonix_USEnglish_Multivoice.arm.CAB” files in the folder where
the Mobile Speak Installer file is located.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION:
·
If you are installing for the first
time, you should copy both the “MobileSpeak.arm.CAB” and “Voice_
[TTSName_Language] _Multivoice.arm.CAB” files to your device.
·
If you are trying to install
additional TTS, you should only copy the “Voice_ [TTSName_Language]
_Multivoice.arm.CAB” file.
There are
different ways of transferring files to your Windows Mobile device from your
Mac or Linux machine, but the following are most recommended:
·
Using a card reader for the type of
card used on your device. Card readers cost anywhere from 10
to 30$ USD and can also be used to share files between the mobile device and
computer. Note that if your device is using miniSD or microSD cards, an adapter
for inserting these cards into an SD card slot is usually included with the
card when purchased. Therefore, you can buy an inexpensive SD card reader and
just use the adapter for the type of card supported by your device.
·
Using Bluetooth file transfer. Please refer to the user guide for your computer or Bluetooth dongle
for more information.
To install
the CAB files, you will need sighted assistance because there is no speech
output on the mobile device yet. Please read all the device prompts carefully
during installation. Launch the file system browser application on your device
(called File Explorer or File Manager). Navigate to the CAB files and press
Enter to run each. Note that you may be alerted to the fact that the files are
unsigned or from an untrusted publisher, and asked if you wish to continue with
the installation. Press the left soft key to proceed with installation.
Remember
that the TTS CAB file must be installed before the Mobile Speak CAB
file. During the installation you will be asked the installation location. We
recommend that the installation location is on storage card, however if you
have enough space on the internal memory, you can have Mobile Speak installed
on the internal memory as well.
When you
are finished installing all the CAB files, restart the device. You are now
ready to use Mobile Speak.
Before
installing the new version of Mobile Speak for Windows Mobile, or reinstalling
the same build, it is recommended that you properly uninstall the current
Mobile Speak version/installation on your device. Please refer to “Removing
Mobile Speak / Mobile Magnifier / Braille Component / TTS”.
Performing
a hard reset is not necessary, unless recommended by Code Factory technical
support or specifically mentioned in the release announcement to be a required
step.
The easiest
way to perform a hard reset, if necessary, is to go to:
·
Start > Accessories > Clear
Storage on most smartphones, particularly those made by HTC.
·
Start > Settings > Security
> Hard Reset on Samsung phones.
·
Start > Settings > Security
> Master Clear on Pantech phones.
·
Start > System Tools > Master
Reset on Motorola phones.
·
Start > Settings > [System
tab] > Clear Storage on most Pocket PCs, particularly those made by HTC.
Follow the
instructions on-screen. Note that a hard reset will delete all the data you
stored and applications you installed (not those that were pre-installed), so
only do this as a last resort to resolve an issue or when advised/requested by
Code Factory.
The Home
Screen (also referred as the Today Screen) is the default screen shown on
Windows Phones after entering the PIN code.
After
installing Mobile Speak, the Home Screen will display several items containing useful
information about your device such as the current date and time, number of
missed calls and unread messages, upcoming appointments, battery strength, etc.
Some of the
items will also let you access the most important features of your phone such as
the call log, voice mail, e-mail, recent documents, Internet favorites, and so
on.
In order to
navigate through these items, use the up and down arrow keys or up and down
slides on the touch screen. Some of the items displayed on the Home Screen have
several pages of information. To move through these pages, use the left and
right arrow keys or left and right slides on the touch screen.
You can
control what items are shown on the Home Screen by going to Mobile Speak
Control Panel > [General Page] > Home Screen. While in the Home Screen,
you can also initiate a phone call by simply starting to dial the phone number.
At any time
you can go to the Home Screen by pressing the hangup key (usually marked red)
or pressing the Command Key + Long 2.
On
touch screen devices, keep in mind that all Command key shortcuts that are
described in this section can be performed using the virtual keypad when in
Keypad mode.
While in the Today/Home Screen, you can start
typing the number to make a phone call. You can use the hang-up key or
Command + long press 2 to go to the home screen. Alternatively you can also go
to the phone application from the Start menu, or by selecting the appropriate
soft key on the Home/Today screen to open the phone application.
You can use
the arrow keys or the slides touch screen gestures to navigate to the numeric
keys or other available buttons and use enter/double tap to activate the
selected button.
Also note that on some devices, when you start
typing the number/character, the list of matching contacts is displayed and you
can use the up and down arrow keys to move within the list and use the left and
right arrow keys to select the option to call, message, or e-mail the contact.
Please note that when using the left and right arrows Mobile Speak will
announce “W” for work or “M” mobile and so on after reading contact details.
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 soft key, you can select the currently
selected application. With the right soft key (“Cancel”), the list will be
closed without selecting anything.
On Windows
Mobile devices, the Start menu can be accessed by any of the following ways:
· Pressing Command Key + Long press #
· “Tap 1 and hold” on the touch screen
· Pressing the Left Soft key in the Home
Screen on non-touch smartphones
You can
switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”.
Sending
an SMS from the “Main Menu” Window
To send an SMS, open the Messaging application
from the Start menu, or select the corresponding soft key option from the
Home/Today Screen. Then select New, either from the menu or, if available, as a
soft key command in the Messaging application. Please note that on some phones,
you will need to select the SMS option in the messaging window to get to the
SMS application.
In the new SMS window you can use the up and
down arrow keys or slide up or down to move between the various fields of the
New SMS window.
In both
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 soft key 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.
The
Calendar application can be found on Symbian phones in either the “Main Menu”
window or in the “Applications” subfolder, or on Windows Mobile phones it can
be accessed using the Home/Today screen appointment option or from the Start
menu > Calendar application.
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
change between “Month View” and “Week View“ on Symbian
phones using the Options menu, while on Windows Mobile devices you can use the
left soft key to change to the calendar view of you choice.
Creating
a New Appointment
You can use
the Home/Today screen option “New Appointment” to open the “New appointment”
window and use the up and down arrow keys or slide up/down to move between the
various fields of the window.
Once the “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.
When
finished, you can save the appointment using either the left soft key or the
Save option which can be found in the right soft key menu to save the
appointment.
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.
Select the
“Edit” option either from the soft key options or from the right soft key menu
to edit the appointment entry. As when this item was created, the various
fields (depending on the type of event) can be scrolled through and edited with
the joystick.
When
finished, you can save the appointment using either the left soft key or the
Save option which can be found in the right soft key menu to save the
appointment.
Deleting
an Appointment
On Windows
Mobile devices, use the “Delete” option from the right soft key menu to delete
an appointment. Before deleting it, you will be prompted to confirm.
To create a

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.
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
Configuration window using the "Configure Mobile Speak" shortcut
found in the Today Screen or in the Start menu. Once opened, navigate to
"Activation Page".
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.
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.
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.
Mobile Speak allows rapid access to phone information
as well as configuration options via the Mobile Speak Command Key. Pressing the
Command key followed by an appropriate key will perform a specific command
(e.g. Command + Left softkey to read phone status information).
On
touch screen devices, keep in mind that all Command key shortcuts that are
described in this section can be performed using the virtual keypad when in
Keypad mode.
The Command
Describer Mode familiarizes you with Mobile Speak’s commands. In this mode, you
can explore all the commands without actually performing them.
To turn on
Command Describer Mode, press the Command Key and then press and hold the 5 key
for 1 second. Mobile Speak will say "Command Describer Mode On". You
can now press any key or perform a touch gesture. Mobile Speak will announce
the keystroke and provide a short description of the function assigned to that
keystroke. To turn off Command Describer Mode, press the Command Key again.
Mobile Speak will say "Command Describer Mode Off".
In Command
Describer Mode you do not need to press Mobile Speak command key to learn about
a function. For example, you only have to press Enter to hear the functionality
of Command Key + Enter.
On Windows
Mobile touch screen devices, you can activate the command describer mode by
using tap 1 for Go To Layout and then tap 2, then
following the touch gestures to learn the command functionality. To turn off
command describer mode on Windows Mobile touch screen devices, use tap 1 for Go
to Layout and then tap 2 when in Quadrant mode.
Tutor
messages are a way for new users to know what they can do in order to interact
with various user interface elements like buttons, checkboxes etc. in their
phones. For example, when Mobile Speak encounters a list, it speaks "To
move to an item, press up and down arrow". Some user need tutor messages
and others don’t', so Mobile Speak provides a way to turn them on /off. By
default tutor messages are on for beginner mode and off for intermediate and
advance modes.
To turn
tutor messages on / off:
1. Open
Mobile Speak Configuration window, and go to Profiles page and Select the
profile for which you want to change the option of speaking tutor messages.
2. Then go
to profile configuration page by using right arrow or slide right and open
verbosity dialog from the list.
3. In the
verbosity dialog locate "Speak tutor messages"
4. If you
want tutor messages to be spoken, then check this check box else uncheck this
check box.
5. Choose
the Okay button, which is the left soft key, and close all windows.
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 (including
the touch Keypad Mode), 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. On non-touch screen devices, by default the
Default layout is active and you can use the Default layout commands without
activating any other layout such as Magnification or Settings.
Go To**
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**
Offers commands to speak information about the phone and the current
application, as well as spelling and repeating spoken text.
Settings**
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. On Windows Mobile touch screen devices, the Advanced Reading commands
can also be activated by using tap 4 (Speak layout) followed by tap 4 and hold.
Magnification
Includes the most commonly-used commands for controlling Mobile Magnifier. On
Windows Mobile touch screen devices, when Magnification is enabled, tap 3 will
activate the Magnification Settings Layout instead of the normal Settings
layout.
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 and review curso. 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
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.

To configure Mobile Speak and/or Mobile Magnifier, navigate to the “Code
Factory” folder in the Start menu or select Start Menu > Program list.
In the “Code Factory” folder, there are various Mobile Speak options:
· Mobile Speak On
· Mobile Speak Off
· Mobile Magnifier On – this option is
unavailable if Mobile Magnifier is not installed.
· Mobile Magnifier Off – this option
is unavailable if Mobile Magnifier is not installed.

available if Braille is not installed.
Select “Mobile Speak” and press the center joystick key or Enter key to
select the Mobile Speak configuration application or select “Configure Mobile
Speak” from Mobile Speak Today / Home Screen. Alternatively, you can use
Command + right soft key or Settings layout (tap 2) and double tap 3 when in
Quadrant mode to open the Mobile Speak configuration window.
The Mobile Speak configuration window is a multi-page configuration
window but not a multi-tab page. To navigate between previous/next pages of the
configuration window, use the left/right arrow key or slide left/slide right.
To move between items on a page, use the up and down arrow keys or slide
up/slide down.
Note: you must use the left soft key or the left soft menu and select
“Okay” to save changes in the setting. You should repeat these steps for each
dialog in the Mobile Speak configuration window.
· In the Main settings page, press the
left soft key to access the Options menu, containing the following:
o About Mobile Speak – information such as date
and version of Mobile Speak, copyright information, as well as the status of
licenses (for every TTS installed on the phone).
o Restore Defaults – select this option if you
have made changes in the settings of Mobile Speak in the Mobile Speak
Configuration window, and you wish to undo all of them and revert to default
settings. You will be prompted to confirm in order to proceed. Note that the
device will restart after this.
· Press the right soft key (“Back”) to
return to the previous window/screen.
· The Left Soft Key is “OK”. Press
this key to confirm changes.
· The right Soft Key is “Cancel”. Press
this key to discard changes and go back to the Main Setting page.
· Auto Start Mobile Speak checkbox (selected
by default) — if selected, Mobile Speak will automatically start each time the
device is started. When you select or deselect this option, Mobile Speak will
ask if you really want to enable/disable this option.
· Auto Start Mobile Magnifier checkbox
(deselected by default) – if selected, Mobile Magnifier will start
automatically each time when the mobile device starts.
·
Show Splash Screen checkbox (selected by default) — if selected,
a splash screen displaying the Mobile Speak logo and playing the Mobile Speak
startup sound will indicate when Mobile Speak begins to run after a soft reset,
or when the "Start Mobile Speak " option in the Code Factory window
is selected.
· Treat Grid as List checkbox
(selected by default) — some Windows devices use grids rather than lists to
display items (e.g., the Programs folder in the Start menu). In grids, there
are a certain number of items in each row, and you use the left and right arrow
keys to navigate the items in a row. If you reach the last item of a row and
press the right arrow, the focus moves to the first item of that row.
Similarly, if you are on the first item and you press the left arrow, the focus
moves to the last item of that row. Therefore, in order to move to the next
row, you must press the down arrow and then use the left and right arrow keys
to navigate the items on that row. To have the arrow keys move to items as
though you were navigating a list (that is, pressing the right arrow on the
last item in the current row will move you to the first item of the next row,
and pressing the left arrow on the first item of the current row will move you
to the last item of the previous row), then this option should be enabled.
· Disable Mobile Speak Conversation
View checkbox (deselected by default) – if your device displays messages in
conversation view and you are having difficulty reading messages, select this
option to disable Conversation view. Please note – after you select this
option, Mobile Speak will remind you that the changes will not take effect
until the device is restarted. Also understand that this is a registry change
which requires a soft reset to be in effect, so unless you restart your device
after changing the option, the Mobile Speak View will not change.
· Turn off Review Cursor when Doing an
Action checkbox (deselected by default) – when using the review cursor, when
you activate an item or control using double tap or enter, the associated
action is performed and the review cursor is still active. In such case, if you
want to deactivate review cursor automatically when an action is performed, you
should check the option.
· When the Device Wakes Up: combo box
(default value is Read Screen) – this option controls the behavior of Mobile
Speak when the device wakes up, such as whether to play a sound, remain silent,
or to read the screen. This is helpful to confirm that the device is in a
working state after coming out of sleep mode.
Please note that some of the configuration
settings in this window are highly dependent on your device’s manufacturer, and
results may not be as expected.
Opening the window will also display this warning; press the left soft
key “Okay” to continue.
· Left soft key is “Okay” - press this
to confirm changes.
· Right soft key is “Cancel” - press
this to discard changes and return to main Settings page.
· Speech volume during a call Combo
box (default value is “Don’t Change”) — use the left and right arrow keys to
change the value of the combo box. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 5.
The default value follows the firmware setting of the device for the volume of
audio not related to call when a call is active. This is, more often than not,
muted or volume = 0. This option is included in Mobile Speak to let you change
this setting if possible on your device.
· No speech output during calls
checkbox (deselected by default) — If this option is selected, Mobile Speak
will automatically be muted when a call begins, and then automatically unmuted
when the call is terminated, regardless of the Speech Mute setting (On or Off)
prior to the call. Note that you can also unmute speech manually during the
call using the Mute command if you require speech feedback to access the menus.
· Silent While Dialing checkbox
(deselected by default) – if this option is selected, Mobile Speak will remain
silent when you start dialing a number.
· Speak caller ID out loud checkbox
(selected by default) — if this option is deselected, Mobile Speak will read
the caller ID when the ringtone of an incoming call is muted, using the Mobile
Speak command Key or triple tap, but at a lowered volume. This is the default
behavior of Windows Mobile devices, which lower the volume of sounds other than
the ringtone itself. Checking this option addresses this Windows Mobile issue
and raises the volume of Mobile Speak speech output for the caller ID. Note,
however, that although the Mobile Speak volume is better than when this option
is disabled, the quality of the speech output itself may not be the same as
what you would hear when using Mobile Speak to read screen contents in other
situations.
· Mute on keypad lock
checkbox (deselected by default) – if this option is selected, Mobile Speak
will automatically mute Mobile Speak speech when you lock the device’s keypad.
When the keypad is unlocked, Mobile Speak speech will be automatically enabled
again.
· Link master volume with Mobile Speak
volume control checkbox (deselected by default) - if this option is selected,
the commands to increase and decrease Mobile Speak speech volume will also
adjust the master volume of the device (including the volume of Mobile Speak,
system sound schemes, call-related audio, and Windows Media audio).
· Auto-route audio to Bluetooth
headset checkbox (deselected by default) - on most phones, if audio is routed
to the Bluetooth headset, the device will route the speech output back to the
device's speaker after a call has been terminated or a voice dial/command is
issued. This is not Mobile Speak behavior. If this option is selected, Mobile
Speak will automatically route audio to the Bluetooth headset as long as a paired
BT headset is detected.
· Disable manufacturer’s
customizations in the Phone Application checkbox (deselected by default) – on
some devices, the Phone Application is customized by the phone manufacturer,
making it inaccessible. Try this option if you are having difficulties
accessing the Phone Application using Mobile Speak navigation commands. Please
note that selecting this option will remove all manufacturer customization and
will enable simple phone application which is far more accessible. However, it
is important to understand that you may also lose some manufacturer /
carrier-specific functionality. Also note that enabling or disabling this
option requires that you restart your phone to let the setting take effect.
Select the
items by pressing the Enter key or double tap in the list to be displayed in
the Code Factory Home Screen.
· The left soft key is “Okay” - press
this to save changes and return to Main Settings page.
· The right soft key is “Cancel” - press
this to discard changes and return to Main Settings page.
· Mobile Speak (selected by default) -
controls whether the Mobile Speak page is displayed in the Home Screen. In the
Mobile Speak page, you can Start / Stop Mobile Speak, Configure Mobile Speak,
and Start/Stop Mobile Magnifier. On touch devices, you will also find the
option “Turn Stylus Mode On/Off”. For more information on Stylus Mode, see the
“Stylus Mode” section.
· Touch Test Drive (selected by
default and only available on touch devices) – when selected, the “Touch Test
Drive” application appears in the Mobile Speak Home / Today screen. The
application can be used to practice touch gestures and can also be used to
learn the Virtual Touch Keys.
· Missed Calls and New Messages
(selected by default) – when selected, the Missed calls and Text messages are
shown on the Mobile Speak Today Screen. In addition to Missed calls and Text
messages, the Mobile Speak Today Screen also shows information about each
folder / account under Messaging Option. For example, if you sync your PC
outlook account with your device, this will be available on the Today Screen.
· Appointments (selected by default) –
when selected, upcoming appointments occurring within the next 36 hours are
shown on the Today Screen.
· Tasks (selected by default) – when
selected, task information is shown on the Today Screen.
· Internet Favorites (selected by default)
– when selected, the Internet Favorites / Bookmarked page address are shown on
the Today Screen.
· My Documents (selected by default) –
when selected, Mobile Speak displays files in the “My Documents” folder on your
device. Note
that Mobile Speak will only show the files available in the My Documents folder
and not any located in My Documents/subfolder.
· Device Information (selected by
default) – when selected, information pertaining to your device, such as
battery status and memory is shown on the Today Screen.
· Recent Applications (selected by
default) – when selected, the recently-used application list is shown on the
Today Screen. Note that this option will not work on some Windows 6.5 devices
due to the fact that some devices do not support listing recently-used
applications.
· The left soft key “Options” contains
the following options:
o “Okay” – select this option to save changes and
return to the Main Settings page.
o Restore Defaults – select this option to let
Mobile Speak revert back to the factory settings. All window settings will be
restored to Mobile Speak’s default installation settings. Please note that if
you activate this option, Mobile Speak will ask if you want to restore to
factory defaults.
· The right soft key is “Cancel”. Select
this to discard changes and return to Main Settings page.
· Command Key Combo Box (Default value
is Home Key for Smart Phone devices and Enter key (long press) for Touch
Devices) – select a key to be used as the Mobile Speak Command Mode Toggle Key
on your device. This means that you need to press and release the Command key
first, and then press a different key to perform the assigned command, or press
the Command key again to toggle the Command mode off. Note that some commands
require that you press and hold the other key for half a second before
releasing it, in order to perform a function different from when that key is
pressed and released immediately. Most commands turn off the Command Mode after
they are executed. But for commands that can be used repeatedly to cycle
through possible values or options, e.g., the command to change the speech rate
and to cycle through the last five previously spoken text, the Command Mode
remains toggled on for three seconds during which the other key in the command
can be pressed to repeat the function it performs. A beep will indicate that
the Command Mode has turned off. On the other hand, to indicate that the
command Mode is enabled, Mobile Speak will say "Command" when it is
pressed.
· Command Mode Timeout: combo box
(default value is 3 seconds) – specifies the time period when the command mode
is automatically turned off. A beep will indicate the command mode being
turned off.
· Vibrate when the command key is
pressed checkbox (deselected by default) – if the option is selected, Mobile
Speak let the device vibrate whenever the command mode is turned on.
· Use Volume Keys to Perform Common
Commands checkbox (deselected by default)- if this
option is selected, the volume key can be used as the arrow keys and one can
use them to perform navigation commands.
· Device Button Combo box (the Option
is only available on Touch devices) - this combo
box lists all the available hardware buttons on the device. Select a button to
associate an action with the press of the button.
· Mobile Speak Command (the option is
only available on Touch devices) – the combo box lists all the possible commands
that can be performed by Mobile Speak. Select an action to associate it with
the button selected in the previous control.
This set of options is only available on touch screen devices. The options
include settings pertaining to touch screen operation and are as follows:
· Left Soft Key is “Okay” - select
this to save changes and return to the Main settings page.
· Right Soft key is “Cancel” - select
this to discard changes and return to the Main Settings page.
· Lock the Screen when the Device is
Locked checkbox (not selected by default) – if selected, when you lock the
device (as in a keyboard lock) you can have the screen be locked automatically.
Device lock and screen lock are two separate things.
· Disable the Touch Screen During Calls checkbox (not checked by default) - the option
controls whether the touch screen should be disabled during an active call.
This is useful in preventing accidental taps due to the close proximity between
the device and body.
· Invert the Touch Keyboard
Orientation checkbox (not selected by default) - this option controls the
orientation of the Mobile Speak Virtual Touch Keyboard. By default, the Virtual
Touch Keyboard starts from top edge of the device and continues towards the
bottom of the device. That is, the character “a” can be found near the top edge
of the device and the colon sign can be located near the bottom edge of the
device. This orientation is useful if the device has the sliding keyboard on
the left side of the device or in case you find it more comfortable to use the
touch keyboard by tilting the device 90ş to the left. In case, if the device
has sliding keyboard towards the right side of the device, you may find it easy
to use by tilting the device 90ş to the right. To do this, you should select
this option. Note that this setting is overridden by the option “Use always
portrait orientation for virtual touch keyboard” as it will change the
orientation to portrait instead of landscape.
· Use Dynamic Touch Keyboard checkbox
(selected by default) – in Mobile Speak 4, there are two types of Virtual Touch
Keyboard. One is static as in the previous version of Mobile Speak which spans
the entire available touch screen and you can move finger to reach and type the
desired character. The other keyboard is dynamic and is designed to give more
flexibility and speed while using the touch keyboard by adjusting the
characters based on the position of your finger. For example placing your
finger anywhere using the numeric keypad, the number 5 will be just under the
finger and you can move a little upward to reach 2 or can move diagonally left
up to reach 1 or can move diagonally right down to reach 9 and so on. For more
information on the Virtual Keyboard, see the “Touch Keyboards” section.
· Use Always Portrait Orientation for
Virtual Touch Keyboards checkbox (not selected by default) – this option
controls whether the Virtual Keyboard is in Landscape or Portrait mode. On some
devices it may be useful to use the virtual keyboard in portrait mode due to
the wide screen availability.

checkbox (deselected by default) – check this option so Mobile Speak gives Vibration
Feedback when you perform the Touch commands like tap or double tap or even
triple tap.

expected.
Opening the window will also display this warning; select the left soft
key “Okay” to continue. Privacy Mode lets you hide content on the screen so
that others cannot see what you are doing. It is also a good way to reduce

on some devices it is technically not possible to turn off the back light thus
the value selected in this option will not work as expected. However, selecting
“Turn off the screen completely” will put a curtain on the screen having black
background with the text “Mobile Speak”, which will also serve the purpose of security.

Mobile Speak organizes configuration settings into groups called Mobile
Speak Profiles, allowing you to switch between different profiles as you need
them. For example, you could configure one 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. Most of the Mobile
Speak settings are included in each profile, making it easy to customize them
to your specific needs in different situations. In addition you can select a
profile to be used with an application so when the particular application is
launched, Mobile Speak will switch to the set profile. Note: you can have one
profile for multiple applications.
Here, you will see the three Mobile Speak Profiles, named by default as
Normal, Beginner, and Advanced. Additionally, you can define your own personal
Mobile Speak Profile. One of these Mobile Speak Profiles is always
checked, which means that its settings are currently in use. The word “Checked”
will be spoken after the name of the currently active Mobile Speak Profile.
Customize a Mobile Speak Profile by selecting the profile and changing
the settings in Profile Configuration Page.
· The left soft key is “Options”, which
contains the following menu choices:
o Activate – activate the currently selected
profile in the Profile Page. Note that this option will be unavailable if the
selected profile is the one currently active.

activating this option, you will be presented with a dialog containing an edit
box to type in the name of the new profile. After typing in the desired name
for the new profile, activate the left soft key to confirm the Profile Name.
You can use the right soft key to discard creating a new profile and can return
to the Profile Page.
o Rename – rename currently selected profile.
Upon activating this option, you will be presented with a dialog containing an
edit box displaying the Profile name. Type in the desired
name for the profile. Remember to use the left soft key “Okay” to save
changes. Note: you can use the right soft key “Cancel” to discard changes and
return to profile page.
o Delete – delete the currently selected profile.
Upon activating this option, you will be presented with a confirmation message.
Select the left soft key “OK” to delete the selected profile or select the
right soft key “No” to exit without deleting the profile. Note: this option is
unavailable if the selected profile currently active.
o Applications – select applications that should
use the currently selected profile. Upon activation of this option, you
will be presented with the list of installed applications on your device.
Select the applications using the Enter key or double tap in the list. Mobile
Speak will load the profile whenever you open the applications you selected in
the list and Mobile Speak will work on this application based on the settings
configured for the selected profile. Note, when opening this window, Mobile Speak
will start searching for the installed applications and may take some time to
display the list. Also note that after selecting the applications, you must
select the left soft key “Okay” to save changes. Selecting the right soft key
“Cancel” will discard selection of the application.

Braille Device configured with Mobile Speak.
4. Configure Braille Window – Mobile Speak can display Braille in different
grades and languages. A different Braille grade can also be set for output and
for input. The Braille language translation table used for each Braille grade
is set to US English by default, but this can be configured so that you can

Show control Indicators checkbox
(selected by default) – apart from text, Mobile Speak also helps you determine
if focus is on a control, and to know the control type and state.
Language-dependent Braille indicators for control information are also
displayed before the label of the control in focus. Indicators are always
displayed in computer Braille, no matter what Braille grade is set, and dots 7
and 8 appear in all their cells to help distinguish them from regular text. If
the control does not change state, then the Braille indicator consists of only
two characters which are letters that relate to the control type name. The
letters used in the indicators also vary according to the language of the
selected text-to-speech engine. For example, a button is indicated by the
letters bt in English, but by the letters kn
in Dutch where a button is called "knop". On the other hand,
if the control changes state, then there is a third character in the indicator,
which is a symbol that is kept constant in all languages though the dot
patterns may differ. For example, a full 6-dot cell will indicate that a
checkbox or radio button is checked/pressed, while dots 3,6
means that it is not checked or selected.
f.
Uncontract word under cursor
checkbox (selected by default) - this option will cause the word under the
cursor to be expanded to its uncontracted form if Grade 2 / contracted Braille is selected for output. It lets you route the cursor more

g.
Auto Reconnect checkbox (deselected
by default) - if this option is enabled, Mobile Speak will attempt to reconnect
your Smartphone with the Braille device if the connection was dropped or after
the mobile device starts up. It will attempt the reconnection 30 seconds after
the devices were disconnected or the end of the startup process. If Bluetooth
was off, Mobile Speak will also attempt to enable it, so do not select this
option if you do not always access your phone with a Braille device or it may
leave the Bluetooth radio active and draining battery power unnecessarily. This
option was added for deaf‑blind users and those who want to access the
phone with their Braille device all the time.
h.
Turn Bluetooth off automatically
checkbox (deselected by default) - if this option is enabled, Mobile Speak will

much as possible.
g.
Auto read Editor Line checkbox
(selected by default) - if we are on an editor control and we move from one
line to another (using the arrow keys), this option will instruct the Magnifier
to automatically pan through the new line so that all contents can be read.
h.
Follow cursor while editing text
checkbox (selected by default) - as the cursor moves through an editor,
checking this option instructs the Magnifier to follow the insertion pointer
cursor.
i.
Magnify control Icon checkbox
(selected by default) - some controls have icons next to them. For example, a
menu may have some icons to indicate if a particular option is checked or not.
A list view control can also have icons next to each list item. This option
determines if these icons should be visible in the magnification area.
j.
Secondary zoom level combo box -
when a layout other than Full Screen is used (e.g., Taskbar layout), this
option sets the zoom level at which the windows other than the ones that cover
the central part of the screen should be magnified. For example, if we select 2x in this option and we switch to Taskbar layout, the
taskbar magnification window will be magnified at 2x, while the rest of the
screen can be magnified at other levels. This helps optimize screen space by
allowing you, for example, to read a text at 4X, but having the taskbar at 2x. Settings you can choose from include Default (meaning,
no zoom), 1.5x, 2x (default), 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 9x, 12x,
and 16x.
5. Remove Mobile Magnifier from my Device – use this option to uninstall
Mobile Magnifier Support from your Mobile Device. It is important to note,
Mobile Magnification cannot be added back unless you completely remove Mobile
Speak and re- install Mobile Speak.
All the Code Factory components installed will be
listed on this page as well as their activation status. You can choose an item
from the list and use the left soft key to activate it. Remember to follow the
on screen prompts carefully. For more information on activation, please see the
“Activating a Full License” section.
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 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.
Mobile Speak 4.5 includes two new touch screen
interaction modes, based on the concept of a standard joystick and a standard
numeric keypad. All of the physical keys used to control the screen reader and
phone in non touch screen devices have now been converted by Mobile Speak into
very intuitive virtual touch keys. It is therefore easier and faster dial a number, enter text, or navigate through the menus of
your touch screen device.
The two new touch screen input methods are
named Keypad mode and Joystick mode. You can switch to the Keypad and Joystick
modes from the default Quadrant mode with command + volume up/down key.
In Keypad mode, the touch screen is divided
into 12 virtual keys, arranged just like a phone keypad (1, 2, and 3 at the
top; 4, 5, and 6 in the second row; 7, 8, and 9 in the third; and the star, 0,
and hash keys in the bottom row). By accessing the Keypad mode, you can type
numbers just as with a physical keypad.
In addition, you can combine these virtual
numeric keys with the command key to perform command shortcuts, just as in
previous (non-touch) versions of Mobile Speak. For example, to mute Mobile
Speak, press the command key followed by the virtual 0 key at the bottom center
of the screen. Long-time users of Mobile Speak will find this method of
accessing commands familiar, and new users will also find it a convenient
alternative to the standard touch gestures
To access the left and right softkeys, delete
characters, or press enter, you can use a gesture called a "slide
back" in one of four directions. For example, to access the left softkey,
you can perform a "slide left and back" by sliding your finger
right-to-left and then left-to-right without releasing your finger or pausing
between the two motions. This gesture may take a few tries to be able to
perform it smoothly, but once you familiarize yourself with it, it provides a
quick and easy gesture to access common functions.
Tip: To quickly become familiar with the
virtual touch keys, gestures and commands in Keypad mode,
use the Keyboard Help mode. This is activated and deactivated by pressing the
Command key (Home key) + long press on the virtual key 5.
Besides this Keypad mode, Mobile Speak 4.5 also
features a Joystick mode in which the touch screen is divided into 9 virtual
keys, arranged in a 3 x 3 grid. This touch input mode is intended for users who
prefer to interact with the phone using taps rather than by slide gestures. The
central key is joystick Enter, while the 4 keys directly above, below, left and
right of the joystick correspond to the joystick up, down, left and right keys.
The bottom left key is the left softkey, and the bottom right key is the right
softkey, and the upper right key is the delete key (upper left is unassigned).
Therefore if you are scrolling a list, you only have to make taps on the top
center or bottom center of your touch screen to scroll up and down the list.
More commands are available with the Joystick
mode: long tap on the top left key (virtual key 1) to start menu, long tap on
the top right key (virtual key 3) to close an application, long tap on bottom
left (virtual key 7) to lock/unlock screen and device, and long tap on bottom
right to toggle the privacy mode.
The first
item of the Today Screen just after installing Mobile Speak 4 is the Touch Test
Drive, a training tool which asks you what you want to do:
1. Touch Screen Explorer mode (Long
tap): tap and hold the screen and you will keep hearing beep sounds as you move
your finger. If you do not hear a beep, you are not on the touch screen
anymore. Mobile Speak is also telling you which virtual quadrant your finger is
in (e.g. 1, 2, 3, or 4). Triple tap to exit.
2. Gesture mode (Simple tap):
familiarize yourself with the main touch gestures before
you start using your device. Triple tap to exit.
Note:
Depending on the device it can be difficult to know where the screen starts or
ends. Therefore you can tap on the corner and not receive any feedback if you
are not touching the touch screen anymore because you are on the edge of the
device. The Touch Screen Explorer mode of the Touch Test Drive should help you
know where your touch screen starts and ends. Another trick is to count less
than two fingers from the edge
of the device to be sure to be on the screen.
Remember
that when you are doing the slides, you need not keep your finger on the
vertical or horizontal axis of the display. You don’t need to slide perfectly
straight up, down, left or right because there is a 30 degree margin but try
always to keep the slide in the desired axis.
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.
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, tap 1 and hold will show you the Start Menu/Main Menu of the device,
tap 2 and hold closes the application you are in, and tap 3 and hold toggles
the new Privacy Mode (Windows Mobile Only).
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 tap 1 and
hold.
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
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 (similar to next/previous 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.
·
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.
·
Command describer 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 Volume Up key or by using slide up and
slide right without lifting your finger or stylus from the screen.
Alternatively you can enable the stylus mode by selecting the “Stylus Mode”
option in the Home/Today Screen. 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, long press the volume up
key once more, use the option “Stylus Mode” on the Today/Home screen, or press
the Command key and slide up then slide right without lifting your finger or
stylus from the screen. 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 Soft Keys
command by tap 4 (speak) + tap 1 (read soft keys) you have 5 seconds to
directly activate the desired soft key 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.

Mobile Speak 4.5 also features a new Braille
touch input mode. This mode divides the screen in 2 columns and 4 rows which
emulate a Braille keyboard with 8 keys. Keys are mapped as Braille dots using this
layout:
-
Left column (from
up to bottom): Dot 7, Dot 3, Dot 2, Dot 1.
-
Right column (from up
to bottom): Dot 8, Dot 6, Dot 5, Dot 4.
You can type text using this mode by
following these steps: Dots can be switched on/off by pressing their virtual
key. Note that there's no multitouch support in Windows Mobile so you need to configure
your Braille character dot by dot. Each time you press a dot Mobile Speak will
announce "Dot X on/off". Once you have activated all the desired
dots, perform a slide down to type the character.
Apart from activating and
deactivating Braille dots you can also use slides:
-
Slide up: Reset
Braille dots.
-
Slide down: Type
current character. If all the Braille dots are deactivated this gesture will
simulate the Space key.
-
Slide left: Backspace key.
-
Slide right: Enter key.
You can
activate this new touch input mode by ciclyng the different touch input modes
with Command + volume up/down.
·
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.
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 + tap 4 and hold when in Quadrant mode or
Command + long 4 while in Keypad mode (for touch devices). 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. 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 select
your preferred keyboard mode from Mobile Speak Control Panel > Main Settings
> Touch.
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.

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
Command key + 3 in the Default layout. While in Review Cursor mode, you cannot
perform Mobile Speak commands involving the Command key. To turn off the review
cursor manually, press the Command 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.
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 when in Quadrant mode (Command + virtual key 3
for touch keypad mode). 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 tap 2 and hold (toggle Graphic
Verbosity).
In addition
to the default Review Cursor functionality, you can also assign text labels to
graphics so that when you navigate back to the same graphics using the Review
Cursor at a later time, you will hear the assigned text label.
By default,
however, the Review Cursor is set to speak labeled graphics only. To change the
graphics verbosity setting, first ensure that the Review Cursor mode is turned
off. Next, go to Settings (tap 2 + tap 2 and hold) to cycle through the three
options for graphics verbosity: Labeled, All, and
None. Simple taps everywhere on the screen (after tap 2 + tap 2 and hold to
change the Review Cursor) will keep cycling through the three available values
for this setting. Default input layout will be restored after three seconds of
inactivity. Set graphics verbosity to "All" if you want the Review
Cursor to see even the unlabeled graphics.
If the
Review Cursor comes across an unlabeled graphic, it will read the unique
identifier of that graphic. However, each graphic can be assigned a text label.
Once a text label is assigned, Mobile Speak will always read the text label for
that graphic. To assign a text label to a graphic, make sure that the Review
Cursor is on a graphic and then tap 3 (Advanced Review Cursor options if it is
active) + tap 2 to open the graphics labeler.
The
identifier of a graphic is a number with a maximum value of 255. Therefore, you
may hear Mobile Speak read graphics as “Graphic 127”, etc. In most
circumstances, you can find out the function that is assigned to that graphic
simply by pressing Enter or double tapping it. Mobile Speak lets you assign a
text label to the graphic so that you can hear the label instead of the graphic
identifier when you navigate back to that graphic.
The dialog
box which appears when you launch the graphics labeler has an edit field where
you can type the label that you want to be spoken when you come back to the
current graphic.
The
Graphics Labeler can also be used to label any unknown item on the Taskbar. The
Taskbar can be accessed by Go To (tap 1) + tap 3 and hold and also Command +
Long 1 key combination. An example of an unlabeled icon would be “Icon (154)”.
You can go to Options (left soft key) + Add Label and add the text you want to
be spoken instead of that icon.
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
Control Panel, users can set up connections with any number of supported
Braille devices and easily switch between two or more of these at any time.
Some Braille devices no longer require pairing with the Windows Mobile and
therefore only need to be added in the Device Manager. Other Braille devices,
however, must first be paired with the Windows Mobile either by using any
passcode or one that is specific to the unit of the Braille device, before they
may be used for Braille input/output.
This section will give instructions on how to pair
Braille devices with a Windows Mobile as well as how to add a Braille device in
the Braille page of the control panel. It will also describe the layout of each
supported Braille device and provide the list of commands that can be performed
on each. Other information about Braille settings and the structure of Braille
output will be included.
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 Windows Mobile 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.
Some Windows Mobile devices use the WIDCOMM Bluetooth
stack while others use the Microsoft Bluetooth (MSBT) stack, and these require
slightly different steps to pair with another Bluetooth-enabled device.
Moreover, there are some Braille devices like the BrailleNote family from
HumanWare that require the extra step of creating an incoming COM port in order
for the paired devices to communicate properly, and pairing must be done on the
BrailleNote rather than the Pocket PC device.
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 Windows Mobile.
·
You remove the
Braille device from the Braille page.
·
You completely
uninstall Mobile Speak and reinstalled it or upgrade to a new version.
·
Something has
changed with the Braille device that alters its Bluetooth address.
Note: For more
information on pairing the devices and WIDCOMM / MSBT Bluetooth stack, please
see Appendix A.
First refer to the instructions specific to using your
Braille device with Mobile Speak to ensure that there are no steps required
prior to adding your Braille device in the Braille page.
1. Open Mobile Speak Control Panel.
The Control Panel is divided
into multiple pages. Navigate using the left and right arrows.
2. Go to the Braille page and select the first option Set
up my Braille device if there is no device configured yet and select Add
another Braille device if there is already another device configured.
In most cases, Mobile Speak 4
will automatically detect and configure the correct drivers for the Braille
display. If Mobile Speak is unable to automatically configure the drivers for
your Braille display the Device Configuration dialog will appear.
1.
Choose the correct
device from the Select your Braille device from the following list of
Bluetooth devices in range list by using left or right arrows.
2.
Choose the device
manufacturer’s name from the manufacturer list.
3.
Choose the device
type from the device list so that Mobile Speak can configure the correct driver
for your device.
A warning dialog may appear
indicating that at the time of connecting you may be asked to enter a PIN as
the device is not yet paired with your phone. Follow the steps outlined in
Appendix A to pair the Braille display with your mobile phone.
When your Braille device has been properly connected
to your Windows Mobile device and added in the Braille page (in the Control
Panel), you may connect to your device using one of the following two ways:
1. Use the shortcut
(command + Long Press 8 Key) to enable Mobile Speak Braille support.
Note:
This will turn on Braille in the device currently selected in the Braille page.
2. Change the
selected device and enable Braille, then:
1. Go to the Braille
page in Control Panel.
2. Navigate to the
Braille device you wish to use using the arrow keys.
3. Press the left soft
key to activate the Options menu.
4. Navigate to Connect
and press Enter.
Alternatively on touch device one can use Settings
Layout (Tap 2) and then Tap2 to toggle Braille.
If successfully started, Mobile Speak will say
"Braille Ready", and this message will also appear on your Braille
display. Note that if there are fewer cells on your Braille display than
required by this message, you may have to use Braille Pan Right to read the
rest of the text. You can now use your Braille device to control your Windows
Mobile device with Braille output.
To turn off Braille support, press command + Long
Press 8 Key. Alternatively, you can select Disconnect from the Options
menu in the Braille page of the Control Panel.
To remove a device
from the list, simply navigate to the Braille display that you want to remove
using the arrow keys, and choose Delete from the Options menu.
The option to turn
Bluetooth on and off is located in the Options menu of the Braille page.
Mobile Speak can display text in different Braille grades
and languages. Each Braille device has a command that allows you to cycle
through the four supported Braille grades: 6-dot computer Braille, 8-dot
computer Braille, Grade 1 (referring to uncontracted literary Braille), and
Grade 2 (referring to contracted literary Braille). A different Braille grade
can be set for output and for input.
The Braille language translation table used for each
Braille grade is set to US English by default, but you can configure this to
Norwegian Grade 2 Braille, UK English Grade 1 Braille, Portuguese 8-dot
computer Braille, or US English 6-dot computer Braille, for example.
In addition to text, Mobile Speak also helps you
determine the type of control, the control state, and whether the control has
focus. Language-dependent Braille indicators for control information are also
displayed before the label of the control in focus. Indicators are always
displayed in computer Braille, regardless of Braille grade setting, and dots 7
and 8 appear in all their cells to help distinguish them from regular text. If
the control does not change state, then the Braille indicator consists of only
two characters which are letters that relate to the control type name. The
letters used in the indicators also vary according to the language of the
selected text-to-speech engine. Each supported Braille device has a command for
switching between installed voices. For example, a button is indicated by the
letters bt in English, but by the letters kn
in Dutch where a button is called "knop".
If the control changes state, then there is a third
character in the indicator which is a symbol kept constant in all languages
though the dot patterns may differ:
·
Equals sign = for a checked
checkbox or pressed button.
·
Dash - for an
unchecked checkbox.
·
Hash # for a disabled
control.
·
Ampersand & for a
submenu.
·
Open brace { for an open tree view level.
·
Closed brace } for a closed tree view level.
Remember that these symbols will
also be shown with dots 7 and 8. Braille indicators, however, can be removed
from the displayed information if you prefer.
To navigate to the Configure
Braille settings:
1.
Open the Mobile Speak
Control Panel using one of the following options:
1.
Press Command Key +
right soft key.
2.
Tap 2 (Settings) and
double tap 3.
3.
Press Enter on the
"Mobile Speak" shortcut in the Today Screen, or in the Start menu
(Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition).
4.
Select Start >
Programs (WM5, WM6, and WM6.1).
2.
Navigate to the Braille
page using the left or right arrow.
3.
Navigate to Configure
Braille using the up or down arrow and press Enter.
To change the Configure Braille
settings:
·
The first control in
this dialog determines whether Braille indicators for control information will
be displayed. By default it is enabled. Press Enter or Space on the keyboard to
deselect this dialog.
·
The next four controls
are combo boxes for selecting the Braille translation table for each of the
four supported Braille grades. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to move from one
to the other. Use the left and right arrow keys to change the selection.
·
The next control is a
checkbox for Uncontract current word (enabled by default). If the box is
selected, then even if G1 or G2 Braille is selected for output, the word under
the cursor will be displayed in 8-dot computer Braille to make text editing
easier.
·
The next control is
the Auto reconnect checkbox which, if enabled,
will set Mobile Speak to attempt to reconnect your
Windows Mobile with the Braille device if the connection was dropped or after
the mobile device boots up. It will attempt the reconnection 30 seconds after
the devices were disconnected or the end of the boot-up process. If Bluetooth
was off, Mobile Speak will also attempt to enable it, so do not check this box
if you do not always access your phone with a Braille device or it may leave
the Bluetooth radio active and draining battery power unnecessarily. This
option was added for deafblind users and those who want to access the phone
with their Braille device all the time.
·
The next option is Turn off Bluetooth. When
enabled, Mobile Speak will automatically disable Bluetooth as soon as the
command to toggle Braille on/off (command + dial) is performed to break the
connection between the Braille device and Windows Mobile.
·
Activate the left soft key assigned to OK to close
this dialog and save any changes you made, or press the right soft key to
select Cancel instead to exit without applying
the changes.
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.
The tactile cursor
is also used to mark which letter in the Start menu name is the access key for
that item. If that letter is pressed while the Start menu is open, the
application linked with this access key will be launched.
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.
Note: When you are
entering text into the fields of an appointment, task, or contacts,
remember that you must press Enter to open the field before typing. If
you press Enter after typing in text using grade 1 or 2 Braille, without
pressing space or performing a command that will cause the text to be
translated, this key press will only translate the text but not close the
field. You must press Enter again in order to exit the control and return to
the main list of fields of this Pocket Outlook item.
In applications
fully supported by Mobile Speak, screen contents are displayed in Braille in a
way that will give you an idea of visual information such as format, hierarchy,
control type, and state. This is the default Braille output mode called
"Braille format". In this mode, Mobile Speak sends information to the
display that is relevant to the current cursor position. The information sent
includes things such as control type, dialog name, or number of items in a list
(where the list index is not really displayed visually).
There are
applications, however, where Braille Format mode will not work due to the use
of nonstandard controls or where the screen content is not visually displayed
as text. In these cases, it is possible though that Mobile Speak can still read
the contents of the screen to some extent. In order to make this limited
accessibility available to Braille-only users, it is possible to change the
Braille Output mode to "Speech emulation". In this mode, Mobile Speak
sends to the Braille display exactly what it sends to the speech engine. Instead
of Braille indicators for control information, the words that are spoken by
Mobile Speak when it comes across that control are displayed. For example, in
Braille Format mode, ls and rs are used to indicate the left and
right soft keys. In Speech Emulation mode, the words "left soft" and
"right soft" are shown in Braille instead.
Each Braille device
has its own Braille command for switching between these two Braille output
modes.
Follow these steps if you have a BrailleNote mPower or BrailleNote PK.
Bluetooth should be a built-in feature, and not made available through
Bluetooth CompactFlash cards or USB-Bluetooth dongles and Serial-Bluetooth
adapters.

One of
Mobile Speak’s unique features is a BRF Reader application that supports
Braille formatted (BRF) files that can be downloaded from online sources such
as Bookshare.org, the National Library Service for the Blind and
Physically Handicapped,
the CNIB Digital Library, and the
International Braille Research Center. Further, this application already includes a Bookshare unpack utility,
so after saving the BKS files on your device, you can simply navigate to and
select a Bookshare file using File Explorer / File Manager, press Enter, and
type in your Bookshare password, if prompted, to start unpacking. You will also
be asked if you wish to keep a copy of the BKS file after it has been unpacked.
The BRF file will automatically be opened after it is unpacked.
Note that
you can use this application even if you do not have a Braille device. Mobile
Speak will inform you that no connection to a Braille device was made, and then
it will ask you if you wish to proceed. Press the left soft key to do so.
If you open
a BRF file, or the application opens one after being unpacked from a Bookshare
file, Mobile Speak will ask you if you wish to preserve soft line breaks in the
document. If you want to read this file continuously from a point or cursor
position, or if you plan to navigate by paragraphs, then
answer "No" to this prompt with the right soft key. Speech output
will be smoother as it will not pause at line endings, except where carriage
returns are inserted to begin new paragraphs. Similarly, if you are using a
Braille device with short Braille displays, removing the line breaks will also
improve the flow of Braille reading because text is shown on the entire Braille
display, rather than starting a new Braille line at soft line breaks. However,
if you want to know where lines begin and end in the file, press the left soft
key at that prompt.
Remember
that text navigation commands to read by character (left / right arrow key),
line (Up / Down arrow key), and the commands available in the Advanced Reading
layout to move by word, sentence and paragraph, as well as continuously from
the top of the file or cursor position, can all be used in the BRF Reader
application. Note that on some smartphones (e.g., Motorola Q 9M), you may need
to enable the numeric functions of the QWERTY keyboard first in order to
perform Advanced Reading commands.
If you wish
to view a list of BRF and BKS files saved on your device or storage card, press
the left soft key for "Options" when in the BRF Reader application or
a BRF file itself, and select "Open". Mobile Speak will search for
supported files and a series of double beeps is played to indicate the progress
of the search. When the list of files is shown, navigate to the one you wish to
access and press Enter. Note that when you close a BRF file, Mobile Speak will
remember your place in it so that you can continue reading where you left off
when this file is later reopened.
Other
options in the left soft key menu include a Find function for searching text
within the BRF file as well as options for adding and viewing bookmarks so you
can easily jump to places in the document that you wish to read again or
remember for future reference.
To exit a
file or the BRF Reader application, press the right soft key for
"Exit".
New Bookshare Format
As of January 2009,
Bookshare has changed to a new format. The Bookshare files are downloadable as
standard zip files with extensions of either .zip or .bks2. To open a Bookshare
BRF file directly in BRF Reader, the extension should be .bks2. You can either
change the file extension as .bks2 or select Yes for "Please download BKS2
Format" on the Bookshare web site in My Account > Preferences >
Download Preferences.
Mobile Speak still
supports BKS (the old Bookshare format), which means users who already have
downloaded content from them do not have to download those files again.
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.
On touch screen devices, keep in mind that all Command
key shortcuts that are described in this section can be performed using the
virtual keypad when in Keypad mode.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In the User
Dictionary dialog, you have an edit field for entering the "actual
word" and a "read as" field for the pronunciation text string.
Note that you can only enter single words, and numbers and punctuations are
ignored. To change the placement of stress on syllables, use upper case letters
in the pronunciation string to start a new syllable. For example, to correct
the way the word "knowledgebase" is pronounced, enter knowledgebase
as the actual word, and knowledgeBase in the "Read as" edit
field.
You can
also change the way individual letters are pronounced through the user
dictionary. For example, if you have difficulty hearing the letter 'e' spoken
at higher speech rate levels, you can enter ‘e’ as the actual word and ‘ee’ as
the pronunciation string.
When you
are ready to add the pronunciation entry, press the right soft key and select
"Add". The new entry will be added to the list presented in the main
screen of the user dictionary. Other options available in the menu opened with
the right soft key can be used to "Delete" entries,
"Modify" existing entries, and "Clear edit fields" so that
you do not need to delete the text entered one character at a time using the
Backspace key.
To exit the
User Dictionary and save your entries, press the left soft key. To exit the
User Dictionary without saving your changes, press the right soft key and
select “Cancel”.
At any time
while Mobile Speak is running you can toggle the User Dictionary on and off by
pressing Command key + 4 (in the Default command layout).
The web browser is available on all Windows
Mobile phones. Launch it by selecting “Internet Explorer” from the Start Menu.

Personal
Information management (PIM) or Pocket Outlook applications on a Windows Mobile
device include:
· Messaging, including E-mail
· Contacts for storing the names,
contact details (phone numbers and addresses), and other personal or business
information about your family members, friends and colleagues.
· Calendar for keeping track of
scheduled appointments and all-day events (e.g., birthdays and anniversaries)
and setting reminders for each.
· Tasks for managing a to-do list and
the details of each pending, overdue and high priority task.
· Notes for creating text and voice
notes.
You can
synchronize your contacts, appointments, tasks, notes and Microsoft Outlook
E-mail on your device with Microsoft Outlook on your PC. To do this:
· Establish a standard partnership
between your PC and device through ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center.
· If you are just creating the
partnership, check the items of your choice to synchronize. If there is already
an existing partnership and you would like to modify the items you want to
synchronize, and then go to the Tools menu of ActiveSync and select
"Options", or select "Mobile Device Settings" in the main
screen of Windows Mobile Device Centre and select "Change content sync
settings". Then in the dialog that opens, move down to the desired sync
option in the list view and press the space bar to check it.
·
When you have completed
the partnership, and every time you connect your device to this PC through
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Centre, the selected type of PIM data will
be synchronized if there are any changes on either the device or PC.
The
Messaging application available on your Windows Mobile device can be used to
access your e-mail account while on the move. You can send and receive messages
on your device and synchronize them with the Outlook application on your
desktop computer. The Messaging application supports POP3 and IMAP4 protocols.
Contact your e-mail or Internet Service Provider to determine the protocol to
be used to access your e-mail account. You can also send and retrieve e-mail
through ActiveSync or a modem or any other form of connectivity to the
internet.
On Windows
Mobile phones, the Messaging application also handles short text messages (SMS)
and multimedia messages (MMS). When the SIM card is inserted, the SMS and MMS
accounts are automatically created upon the selection or detection of the cell
phone network carrier settings. If this is not the case, please contact your
carrier.
You can
synchronize the e-mail messages that have been downloaded to your Outlook inbox
on a desktop PC with the Messaging application on the Windows Mobile device.
This allows you to read them later, while commuting to work, for instance. For
the synchronization to take place, you need to select "Inbox" or
“E-mail” in the list of items to be synchronized when you establish a standard
partnership between PC and device. This option is checked by default, but to
make sure that it is, or if you had previously unchecked it but want to enable
e-mail synchronization now, then follow the synchronization steps given above.
You can
also access your POP3 or IMAP-based e-mail account directly from the Messaging
application. Before you can send and receive messages, you need to create and
configure that account on your device. To do this, open the application menu by
pressing the right soft key in the main Messaging screen, and select "new
account" from the Tools submenu. Note: in some devices there will be an
option called “Setup E-mail” or something similar, which also can be used to
configure email on the device. Follow the instructions in each screen of this
wizard to configure your mail account. For more information on the settings
contact your carrier or the email service provider.
When the
Messaging application is opened through the Start Menu shortcut, or through the
Today screen item displaying unread messages, the initial focus is in the
Messaging folder. Pressing left/right arrow moves focus to the next/previous
messaging folder. Alternatively, if there are new SMS, MMS and email messages,
separate Today Screen shortcuts will let you access the Inbox for each type of
message more quickly. Note that the Mobile Speak Read Status command will also
tell you how many unread SMS/text messages are in the Inbox.
To download
new email messages or send ones in the Outbox, select the “Send/Receive Mail”
option in the menu. To switch accounts if you have more than one set up on the
device, select the account name from the “Switch Accounts” submenu.
When you
open Messaging, the focus is placed in the message list by default. Use the
up/down arrow keys or slide up/down to move through the list of messages.
Mobile Speak Pocket reads the name of the sender and the subject, and if
possible also first line of the message. It will also inform you if the message
is "Unread" (i.e., not yet opened), "Not downloaded" (i.e.,
only headers have been downloaded, not yet the entire message), and has
"Attachment", or any of the combinations of these three. To open a
message, press the Enter key or double tap. After a message is opened, Mobile
Speak automatically reads the header information such as the "From",
"To", and "Date" fields and then starts reading the text of
the message. If you want to review the text manually, use tap 3 or press the
Command key twice quickly to stop speech and use Text Navigation commands.
Mobile Speak also reads the other fields of the message such as
"From" and "To" when you navigate in the message.
Starting
with Windows Mobile 6.1, it is now possible to view messages exchanged with a
contact in a conversation thread similar to those found in instant messaging
programs. This thread view is enabled by default but can be disabled through an
option in the Mobile Speak configuration utility (Main Settings Page >
General dialog).
When focus
is inside a message thread, it may be on either of two areas: the conversation
field, where the messages sent and received so far are displayed, and the input
field, where you type new messages to send to this contact. To move from the
input field to the conversation area, use up arrow or slide up from the reply edit
field. To move from the conversation area to the input field in order to start
typing, press any key on the keyboard. That key will not insert any character
into the input field but will simply move focus to it, and then you can start
typing.
To jump between
messages in a thread, use the Reading and Navigation commands.
If you have
configured the device to download messages up to a certain size in KB, or to
get only the headers, only a portion of it is downloaded to the device. In such
a case, there is a link for getting the rest of the message displayed at the
bottom. Note that when you activate this link by pressing Enter, the part of
the message downloaded may not be visible until you close and open the e-mail
to refresh the screen.
After you
have finished reading the message, you may close it and return to the list of
messages by pressing tap 2 and hold or by pressing the Back key.
Options to
reply, forward, or delete the message are accessible through the menu opened by
the right soft key. On some Pocket PCs, the left soft key may be assigned to
"Reply" when the message is open, or to "Delete" when focus
is in the message list.
To compose
a new message, activate the "New" item from the menu opened by the
right soft key, or press the left soft key if it is assigned to "New"
(like on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices). In the new message window, the default
focus is on the "To" edit field where you need to enter the e-mail
address or cell phone number of the person to whom you are sending the message.
You may also press Enter to open a list of contacts, and only those stored with
e-mail addresses will be displayed if you are composing a new e-mail, or only
the ones who have cell phone numbers saved in your contacts list will be shown
when you are creating a new SMS. Move through the list of contacts using the up
and down arrow keys, and press Enter or double tap on those contacts to whom you want to send a message. To move forward or back to
other fields of the window, use up/down arrow keys or slide up/down.
When
writing an SMS, there is a visual indicator that tells you how many characters,
out of the standard limit of 160 per SMS page, have already been entered in the
message body. To make Mobile Speak read this indicator, use the Read Whole
Screen command with Command key + # key or Speak Layout > tap 3.
To send the
message after you have finished composing it, press the left soft key. The
message will be moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent when you next connect
to the internet (in the case of email messages).
For more
information on messaging, we recommend that you refer to your device manual or
visit the Microsoft Windows Mobile Help Page at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/default.mspx. However, in
order to use Mobile Speak with Windows Mobile, it is important you understand
the basic navigation and reading and advance reading commands. Refer to the
sections in this document for each of these command layouts for more details.
Open the
Contacts application by using either the right soft key (which is assigned by
default to launch this program), or by selecting it from the Start menu. To
create a new contact, press the left soft key in the contacts list. In some
devices you will be prompted to select either Outlook or SIM contact; make your
choice depending upon what information you are trying to add for a
contact. In the resulting dialog, use simple navigation commands and use
your device keypad or the Virtual Keyboard to enter information.
Note that
on some edit fields, pressing Enter may present a list of subfields; for
example, pressing Enter or double tap on the Name field, will display fields
such as Title, First Name, etc. After filling in the desired information in the
subfields, you should press enter or double tap to close the list of subfields
and return to the new contact window. Also note that in order to select an
option in a list you should first open the list using the Enter key or double
tap, then use arrow keys or the slide gestures to select an item in the list
and again use double tap or the Enter key to close the list.
On Date
fields such as Birthday, you should use the left/right arrow keys or slide
left/right to move between the day, month and year part of the field.
On some
devices, the second tab in the "New Contact" dialog is the
"Notes" tab. It has a single rich edit control where you can enter
any additional information you would like to store for this contact. Press tap
2 and hold or the appropriate soft key to save the details of the new contact
and return to the main Contacts window.
The
contacts you have created or synchronized from your Outlook address book are
displayed in a list in the main Contacts window. Use the up and down arrow keys
or slide up/down to move through the list of contacts. Mobile Speak reads the
name of the Contact and the detail which currently has focus. For example, if
there is a contact with the name John Doe and the contact has a number of
details such as work phone, home phone, mobile, e-mail, etc, Mobile Speak will
read the name, in this case “John Doe" and one of the details such as the
home phone. You can also find out which detail is being spoken as MSP announces
a one letter suffix after the detail. Assuming that John Smith’s work phone
number is 12345678, MSP will say "12345678 W" after reading the name.
Similarly, H stands for home phone, M for Mobile, E for E-mail and so on. On
touch devices a short list of options that apply to the item in focus is available
through the context menu opened by Go to Layout (tap 1) and then tap and hold
2.
You can use
the left/right soft menu to edit or send message or call a selected contact and
Mobile Speak will read the information as and when you navigate them. To learn
more about the Contacts application refer to your device’s user manual or the
Windows Mobile Help Page at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/default.mspx.
You can
open the Calendar application by activating the Start menu shortcut for it, or
pressing Enter on the Today Screen item showing upcoming appointments. On most
devices, the left soft key on the Today Screen launches the Calendar as well.
Apart from the Today screen item that displays upcoming appointments, the
Mobile Speak Read Status command (Speak > Double tap 2 or Command Key + left
Soft key) will also provide this information by default.
The
Calendar application displays the appointments you have entered in a number of
views. Of these views, the Agenda view, Day view and the Week view are
supported by Mobile Speak. The left soft key cycles through
all the views, with the Agenda view opening by default the first time the
Calendar application is launched, and then the view that was selected when the
Calendar was opened the last time. You can change the view that is
selected by default when the application opens through the Options dialog that
can be selected from the menu accessed by pressing the right soft key.
The agenda
view is the simplest and easiest to use of all the views. In this view, the
appointments for a single day are listed in order. When you first open the
Agenda view, the appointments for the current day are displayed in a list. Use
the Up and Down arrow keys or up and down slides to move through the list of
appointments. Use the up / down arrow keys or go to layout > slide up / down
to move between the list views containing all day appointments and normal
appointments. Pressing Down arrow on the last item in the list of all-day
events or of scheduled appointments, or pressing up arrow on the first item of
either list, will also move focus from one list to another. Mobile Speak will
read the subject, location, starting and ending time (for scheduled
appointments only), and the status of the appointment in focus if it is set to
"tentative" or "out of office".
To move to
the previous or next day, use the left or right arrow key or slide left /
right. As you move through the days, Mobile Speak will read the date and the
day of the week as well as the number of appointments on that day. To select a
different day during the same week (e.g., focus was on Tuesday and you want to
jump to the coming Saturday's list of appointments), press left / right arrow
keys or use Slide left / right to move to the week toolbar. To select a day
that is not in the same week, Use Mobile Speak Go to layout and Slide up / down
to go to the "Date edit" field and press Enter. The month calendar
view will be opened. Use the arrow keys or Touch slides to select the date and
press the Enter key to update the list of appointments accordingly. In the Day
view, the hours of the day are displayed in a list. Use the Up and Down arrow
keys to move through the hours. If there is an appointment happening during a
particular hour, even if the appointment did not start that hour but only
extended to it and even if the appointment began in the middle of that hour,
Mobile Speak will announce it. To access the appointment, press the right arrow
key. If there are any All Day appointments for the current date, they will be
displayed in a separate list view. You will have to use the move to next
control command that is Go to layout > Slide up / down or on Smartphone you
can simply use up / down arrow keys to move between the list views containing
the all day events and scheduled appointments. Press the left arrow key or
Touch slide left to move out of the appointments list for that hour and
continue navigating through the hours of that day.
To move to
the previous or next day, use the left or right arrow key or Touch slide left /
right. To select a particular day, either use the week toolbar or date edit
field as described for the Agenda View. The Week view works just like the day
view with the exception that by default, the left and right arrow keys move
through a five-day work week from Monday to Friday. Note that Mobile Speak
works in the same way here as it does in the Day view. The week toolbar and
date edit field are also available.
On touch
devices, remember that a short list of options that apply to the item in focus
is available through the context menu opened by Go to layout > tap 2 and
hold, allowing you to copy, paste, delete, and beam an appointment, among other
functions and alternatively these functions are also available in the Calendar
menu. To view the details and notes for a scheduled appointment or all-day
event, press Enter or double tap and its summary screen will open. In the
resulting screen you should use the navigation / reading commands to read the
content of the window.
To create
an appointment from the main Calendar window, activate the right soft key if
“new” is assigned to it or use menu to select “New”. In “New Appointment”
window use up / down arrow keys or Touch Slide Up / down to move between
different controls. You can use your device keypad or the Virtual Touch
Keyboard to enter text in the fields. Also Remember
that on date fields you should use left / right Arrow Keys or Touch Slide left
/ right to move between the day, month and year part, on list view, you should
use Enter or Double tap to open the list and after selecting the desired option
use Double tap or enter to select the value.
Also worth
noting are the “Starts” and “Ends” fields. These fields actually have two
columns, one for the date and the other for the time. On some devices these
fields will be available separately and one can find them using the up / down
arrow keys or by using the Touch Slide Up / down but on some other devices one
may have to use Slide left / right or left / right Arrow Key to move from
date to time part or vice versa. This is also applicable to Reminder field when
one can use left / right arrow keys or touch slide left / right to move the
duration numeric value and the unit.
In the
"Attendees" field, you can send a meeting request via e-mail. Press
Enter on this field to open a list of contacts on your device those have e-mail
addresses. Select the persons whom you want to invite to the meeting (you can
select more than one) by checking the check box associated with them. To close
the list of contacts after you have finished selecting the attendees, press tap
2 and hold or appropriate soft key. If the other person responds to your
e-mail, the outlook application on his or her PC as well as the Calendar app on
your device are updated automatically.
Navigate to
all the fields using the arrow keys or touch slide up / down and fill in the
information. After filling all the fields of your choice, select the
appropriate option either from the soft keys or from the menu to save.
For more
information on Calendar, refer to your device user manual or Windows Mobile
Help Page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/default.mspx
To open the
Tasks application, select it from Start menu on your device, or press Enter on
the Today Screen item showing the pending tasks for the day. In addition to
reading this Today screen item, the Mobile Speak Read Status command will also
tell you, by default, the active, high-priority and overdue tasks.
When you
open the Tasks application and have tasks recorded, focus is placed on the
Tasks list. Use the up and down arrow keys or slide up/down to move through
this list. Notice that for each item, Mobile Speak will say that there is a
checkbox and announce its state (checked or unchecked). Checking the checkbox
will mark the task as complete, and the Today screen item for active tasks will
reflect this change. Unchecked items are the pending tasks. To check or uncheck
a task, you can use the left soft key if it is assigned to "Complete"
or "Activate".
You can use
the context menu or menu for each task to create a copy, beam the task to
another computer/device or send it via Bluetooth, or delete the currently
selected task. The Filter option from the context menu or the right soft menu
will allow filtering as “all tasks”, “recent tasks”, “active tasks”, “completed
tasks”, and those belonging to any specified category, or to sort tasks by
“priority” (which is the default), “status”, “subject”, “start date” and “due
date”. Use the up and down arrow keys to move through the offered options and
press Enter on your selection. The settings will take effect immediately on the
tasks list. These options will prove extremely useful if you keep a long list
of tasks on your device.
Mobile
Speak will only speak the subject of the task in focus, apart from the status
indicated by the state of the checkbox control accompanying each listed item,
so if you wish to read the details and notes for a task, press Enter.
To create a
task while on the Tasks list, press the right soft key to activate the menu.
Activate the “New” or “New task” item. In the resulting window, to move from
one field to another, use the up and down arrow keys or slide up/down. To enter
data into a field, hit Enter to open that field, type in the data or select
from the given values in an edit combo box, and press Enter again to close the
field. You will be returned to the list of fields. For example, the first field
is the "Subject" field. To open this field, press Enter. Type the
text or select from the offered predefined entries such as “Work on”, “Plan”,
“Study”, etc. You can also select one of these values and add to it (e.g.,
“Study for math exam”). When you’re done, press Enter to close the field. Arrow down to the next field which is "Priority".
Use the same procedure again to enter data into this field. Due to the offered
values for some fields, this key sequence for opening and closing each field is
necessary as the up and down arrow keys navigate the list of items in an
editable combo box if it is open, or moves through the main list of task fields
if it is closed.
Also note
that on some smartphones, the above discussed options will not be available.
Navigate to
all the fields using the arrow keys or touch slide up / down and fill in the
information. After filling all the fields of your choice, select the
appropriate option either from the soft keys or from the menu to save.
While focus
is on the main tasks list, you can use the up arrow or slide up or Go to layout
and then slide down to move to an edit field where you can type the subject of
the new task. Then press Enter or double tap again and the task will be created
with that subject and the default settings for the other task details. This is
a quick way to create tasks if you do not wish to select other options or write
notes about it.
To edit a
task, navigate to the item in the tasks list that you would like to edit, and
select “Edit” option from the Menu. The “Edit task” window is displayed. It is
similar to the “New task” window except that a few fields are already filled
in. Make the necessary changes to the task and select the appropriate option
either from the soft keys or menu to close the window.

The Notes
application allows the creating and editing of text notes, as well as the
recording of voice notes. When this application is opened through Start >
Programs, you are either presented with a list of text and voice notes stored
on your device and storage cards, or a new text note is created. Editors for
text notes work like the word processor in Word Mobile and so text navigation
commands described elsewhere in this document can also be used here. As for
creating voice notes, some devices will have a programmable hardware key
assigned to serve as the “Record” button which, when pressed, will start
recording a voice note. Refer to the user’s manual of the device to find where
this button is, or check under Start > settings > [Personal tab] >
buttons. It is usually assigned to the long press of a hardware key. On some
the Voice Notes is a separate application and can be used to record short
messages. In the application menu of Notes, you will also find an option to
show/hide the Voice Bar. This is a toolbar in the “Notes” window with options
specifically for playing voice notes such as “Play/pause”, “Rewind”, “Forward”
and “Volume”.

Windows Media lets you play audio files on Windows phones. It supports a
number of file formats such as MP3, WMA, WMP, and ASF. You can also use Windows Media
to listen to Internet audio streams, which is primarily used by online radio
stations.
While a track is playing, there are several useful commands made
available in Windows Media only when you install Mobile Speak on your device.
If you’re using a Windows Phone with a touch screen device, you can
activate a special touch screen layout that will allow you to perform any
Windows Media Player commands using the touch screen. To activate this layout,
simply triple tap on the screen while you’re in the Windows Media Player
application.
The
following table summarizes these commands, which can be activated by simply
pressing their respective keys or touch screen gesture (On touch screen devices, keep in mind that all Command key shortcuts

LICENSE
AGREEMENT
By
installing or activating the Code Factory products and their speech,
magnification, or Braille components, you accept all the terms and conditions
of this license agreement:
1. GRANT.
Code
Factory, S.L. (referred to hereafter as "Code Factory"), with its
principal place of business at Rambla d'Egara, 148, 2-2, 08221 Terrassa, Spain,
hereby grants to you a user-centered license to use the Code Factory products
(referred to hereafter as "Software"), and accompanying product
documentation (referred to hereafter as "Documentation") on the
following terms:
2.
PERMISSIONS.
You may:
(i) install, activate, and use the Software on any supported
phone meeting the product's system requirements;
(ii) install and use the Software on another device provided
that:
(a) you activated the Software on the second device with a trial
license,
(b) you activated the Software on the second device using a full
license different from the one used on the first device, or
(c) you have transferred your phone number to the device on
which you wish to run the product.
(iii)
copy the Software in machine-readable form solely for
back-up or archival purposes, or use within a single working location, provided
you reproduce Code Factory's copyright notice and proprietary legends.
3.
RESTRICTIONS.
You may
not:
(i) modify, translate, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile,
disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human perceivable form;
(ii) create derivative works based on the Software or any portion
thereof, or the Documentation, or attempt to increase the functionality of the
Software in any manner except through scripting or other improvement
functionality accessible to the user and supported by Code Factory.
(iii)
copy the Software (except for backup purposes) or the
Documentation. Copying includes, but is not limited to, reproduction through
any electronic or mechanical means, and distributing copies;
(iv) remove any proprietary notices or labels on or in the
Software or Documentation.
4.
OWNERSHIP.
Code
Factory retains the title, ownership rights, intellectual property rights, and
trade secrets in and to the Software and Documentation, including all subsequent
copies and updates to the Software and Documentation, regardless of the form or
media used.
Similarly,
the title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in and to the
content accessed through the Software is the property of the applicable content
owner and may be protected by applicable copyright or other law. This license
gives you no rights to such content.
The
Software is protected by the copyright laws of Spain and international
copyright treaties. In no manner and under no circumstances is this license to
be interpreted as a sale of the title, ownership and intellectual property
rights in and to the Software and Documentation.
5. LIMITED
WARRANTY.
Code
Factory warrants that the Software will perform substantially on an officially
supported device in accordance with accompanying written materials for a period
of thirty (30) days with a trial license, or with no time limitations with a
full license, providing that the version of the Software and the operating
system and firmware version of the device on which it runs do not change. This
limited warranty is void if failure of the Software has resulted from user
error, accident, abuse, misapplication, and defects in the Software and
hardware of the device. This is the sole and exclusive warranty which Code
Factory makes as to its software. Some states/countries/jurisdictions do not
allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may
not apply to you.
Except as expressly provided in the limited warranty section above, the
Software is provided to the end user "as is" without warranty of any
kind, express or implied. Without limiting the foregoing, any warranty of
non-infringement of third parties' rights, as well as warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for a particular purpose are specifically
disclaimed. The entire risk of the quality and performance of the Software is
with you.
No Code
Factory dealer, reseller, agent, employee, or any other party is authorized to
make warranties or conditions on Code Factory's behalf. You may have other
legal rights that vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.
6.
DISCLAIMERS.
You accept
all risks which may arise from the downloading, installation and use of the Software
including, but not limited to, errors in transmission, corruption of existing
data or Software in the device, and/or damage to the hardware of the device.
Code Factory is not responsible for damage that might be caused by the software
of other companies that can be installed and purchased separately.
If a user
wants to test the Software, he/she should ask for a trial license. Under no
circumstances will the money paid to purchase licenses be returned, in part or
whole. Likewise, under no circumstances will purchased licenses be exchanged
for licenses of other Code Factory products, individual components (including
but not limited to text-to-speech voices and plug-ins), and separately licensed
add-ons.
Each
license granted allows installation and activation of the Software on only one
phone number, and its associated device, at a time. If you want to use a fully
activated version of the Software on several devices at the same time, you must
purchase as many licenses as there are devices you wish to use simultaneously.
Some of the functionality of the Software may be affected by differences in the
firmware of certain devices. Code Factory is not responsible for the failure of
the Software due to these factors.
The user
declares that he/she has read the content of the website
http://www.codefactory.es and other websites it links to, and therefore, has
knowledge of the features of the Software. He also declares that he/she has
read the Documentation before using the Software and, consequently, knows how
to use the software.
7.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Under no
circumstances and under no legal theory, tort, contract, or otherwise, shall
Code Factory or its dealers and resellers be liable to you or any other person
for any damages including, without limitation, indirect, special, incidental,
or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation,
damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction,
or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if Code Factory shall
have been informed of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any
other party. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so this limitation and exclusion may not apply to you.
Code Factory shall not be liable for any damages under this agreement.
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 Espańola 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 Factory, S.L. is the sole owner of the intellectual property
rights arising from Mobile Speak, Mobile Magnifier, Mobile Accessibility,
Mobile Daisy Player, Mobile Senior and Mobile Geo. The intellectual property
rights arising from Orator are shared between Technologies Humanware Canada,
Inc. and Code Factory, S.L. It is strictly forbidden to modify, duplicate
and/or distribute either totally or partially the Software or any of its
components without the authorization of Code Factory, S.L. Such a practice will
constitute a legal crime and will be severely punished according to Spanish and
international law.
Code
Factory, Mobile Speak, Mobile Magnifier, Mobile Accessibility, Mobile Daisy
Player, Mobile Senior, Orator and Mobile Geo names and logos are registered
trademarks.
Microsoft,
Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, Windows Media and their respective logos are
registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
Symbian and
the Symbian logo are registered trademarks of Symbian Ltd.
11. TERM
AND TERMINATION.
This
agreement will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with the limitations
described above. On termination, you must (i) discontinue your use of the
Software, and (ii) permanently erase or destroy all your copies of the Software
and Documentation.
12.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Code
Factory products require your phone to be subscribed to a network to be fully
functional. If the device is in offline mode, flight mode, not subscribed to a
network or without a SIM card (in GSM phones) for more than 3 days, it will
stop working, although your phone will be fully operational.
This
agreement represents the complete agreement concerning this software between
the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between
them.
In order to
amend this agreement, a written addendum executed by both parties is required.
The
acceptance of any purchase made by you is expressly made conditional on your
assent to the terms set forth herein, and not those contained in your purchase
agreement, if any.
If any
provision of this agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such
provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable.
