2          What’s New in 4.0

 

Mobile Speak 4 is cross-platform, touch, multi-voice, and ready for the next generation.

 

2.1        Cross Platform

 

With Mobile Speak 4, you can switch phones as many times as you want, for free. In addition, Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier are not only cross-device, they are also cross-platform, which means you can transfer your Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier license from a Symbian to a Windows Mobile device and vice versa.

 

In Mobile Speak 4, your mobile phone number is your user ID. Therefore, as long as you do not change phone numbers you can transfer your Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier license between devices, free of charge, as many times as you wish. There is also no need to deactivate your license from the old device before activating it on a new device.  Just enter your phone number on the new device and your license will automatically be activated. Likewise, if your phone is stolen, broken or lost, as long as you do not change phone numbers, you do not have to send Code Factory any kind of certificate - just install the software on your new device and activate it with your User ID.

 

2.2        Touch

 

With Mobile Speak 4, you have three different ways to interact with your touch screen mobile phone:

 

1.     Use the classic keyboard commands.

2.     Use a brand new system of easy touch screen commands

3.     Move your finger around the touch screen and let Mobile Speak tell you what is below your fingertips.

 

The Mobile Speak touch interface has been completely redesigned - it is now much more powerful and intuitive than Mobile Speak Pocket, its predecessor. It also works on Symbian as well as Windows Mobile, so it is compatible with phones such as the Nokia N97, Nokia 5800, Nokia 5230, and Nokia 5530.

On phones with hardware keys as well as a touch screen, you decide what is most convenient for you, using touch screen gestures or pressing keys.

 

Mobile Speak 4 also allows you to activate a review cursor mode, similar to VoiceOver for the iPhone. When you move your finger around the screen, Mobile Speak will speak what is under your finger and you only have to double tap to activate the item.

 

Whether you choose the quick access of touch screen gestures, the easy navigation of the review cursor, or the traditional keyboard shortcuts, or a combination of all three, the choice is yours. You can change the method depending on which mobile device you are using, your preferences, or even specific situations.

 

2.3        Multi-Voice

 

When you buy Mobile Speak 4 license, you get three voices for the price of one.

 

With Acapela and Loquendo, Mobile Speak 4 allows you to use up to three voices from a single Text-To-Speech provider. That means that you can use either three Acapela or three Loquendo voices with only one Mobile Speak license. Further, no matter which voices you choose to install first, you are not tied to them. As long as you do not use more than three voices at the same time, you can switch them as many times as you like. However remember that this feature is tied to the Text-To-Speech provider, so you will have to choose if you prefer to have three voices from either Acapela or Loquendo because you will not be able to mix voices from both providers.

 

2.4        Ready for the Next Generation

 

With Mobile Speak 4, you do not have to worry about being left behind with old technology. Mobile Speak supports the latest mobile phones such as the Nokia N97 and HTC Touch Pro 2, as well as the latest versions of Windows Mobile, V6.5 and of Symbian, S60 5th Edition. To check the full list of supported devices, and to know which devices are considered as the most popular among Mobile Speak users, please visit our Web site at www.codefactory.es.

 

 

 

 

3          Installation

 

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.

 

3.1        Installation Prerequisites for Mobile Speak for Windows Mobile

 

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.      

3.       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.

4.       Make sure that the correct date and time is set on your computer.

5.       Connect your device to your computer.

6.       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.

 

3.2        Mobile Speak Installation Instructions

 

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 stand alone 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. 

3.2.1        Express Installation - Beginners

 

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 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.

 

3.3        Uninstalling Mobile Speak / Mobile Magnifier / Braille Component / TTS

I have finished installing Mobile Magnifier. Can I now add speech output?

Run the installer for the TTS voice you wish to add, and follow the steps of express installation.

 

3.5        Installation on a Non-Windows OS

 

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.

3.5.1        Extracting a .CAB Installer in Windows

 

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 a 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.

3.5.2        Installing Mobile Speak Using .CAB Installer

 

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.

3.5.3        Copying a .CAB Installer to the Device

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 softkey 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.

 

3.6        Installing Upgrades or Reinstalling the Same Build

 

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.

 

 

 

4          How-to's

 

4.1             How do I Make a Phone Call?

 

When one is in the “Standby” window, one can make a phone call.  You can switch in between the “Standby” window and “Main Menu” window by using the “Menu Key”.

 

All numerical keys that are pressed are interpreted as digits for the telephone number to be called. When all the digits of the phone number have been entered, open the Options menu with the left softkey and select “Voice Call” to dial the entered phone number.

 

 

4.2             How Do I Access the Start Menu?

 

On Symbian devices you can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”. From the “Main Menu”, you can access all the applications on the phone, which are located either in the current “Main Menu” window itself or in subfolders. 

 

By long pressing the “Menu Key”, you can display a list of currently running applications. You can browse this list by going up and down with the joystick key. With the center joystick key or with the left softkey, you can select the currently selected application. With the right softkey (“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 Hold” on the touchscreen

·         Pressing the Left Softkey in the Home Screen on non-touch Smartphones

 

 

 

4.3             How Do I Send an SMS?

 

You can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”.

 

Sending an SMS from the “Main Menu” Window

 

In the “Main Menu” window, you can navigate the various Menu folders with the joystick to locate the “Messaging” icon. Press the joystick to open the “Messaging” application. 

 

In the application window, you can browse the menu. The first (uppermost) menu option is “New Message”. Select this option to choose among “Text Message” (the default), “Multimedia message”, “Audio message”, and “E-mail.” Selecting “Text Message” will display the “Text Message” window.

 

When the “Text Message” window opens, the cursor initially is located in the “Subject” field. In this field, the default input mode is number mode, as normally you would want to enter the telephone number of the recipient. If you press the joystick in this field, the list of “Contacts” appears where you can scroll through this list to choose the recipient. 

 

Press downwards on the joystick to place the cursor in the input text field. Here, you can write your text message. Press upwards on the joystick at any moment to return to the Subject field.

 

With the left softkey, you can access to a list of options which you can navigate and select with the joystick. The most important options are:

 

·         “Send” - this only appears when the Subject field is filled. Selecting Send will send the text message to the recipient(s) listed in the Subject field.

·         “Add recipient” - opens a list of Contacts, from which the recipient can be selected.

·         “Exit” - exits the entire “Messaging” application.

 

Sending an SMS From the “Standby” Window

 

On some phones, it is possible to send an SMS from the “Standby” window. This might be possible either by selecting one of the standard available standby options, or by pressing the left softkey which will open the “Messaging” application (on some phones). 

 

 

 

4.4             How Do I Manage My Contact List?

 

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 softkey in the phone’s standby/home screen.

 

Once you have opened the Contacts application, you will be presented with a list of your current contacts. By selecting a contact, you can choose to make a voice call, send a message, or send an email, provided that you have stored all of the relevant information for each of these options. Depending on the operating system and the capabilities of the device, you may also have the option to make a video call, send the contact information via Bluetooth, record a voice dialing prompt, or any number of additional operations.

 

 

4.5             How do I Manage Calendar Appointments?

 

The Calendar application can be found on most phones either in the “Main Menu” window or in the “Applications” subfolder.

 

The Calendar application opens with the “Month View” window, with the cursor on the current day. This current date is spoken at startup. With the joystick key, you can scroll through the days of the month and move to the previous or the next month.

 

You can change between “Month View” and “Week View”using the Options menu.

 

Creating a New Appointment

 

There are three ways to create a new appointment:

 

1.       Press the left softkey to open the Options list and then select the “New Entry” option.

2.       Press the left softkey to open the Options list and then select the “Open” option. This will open the “Day View” where you can open the “Options” list and select the “New Entry” option.

3.       Press the joystick to open the “Day View”. Here you can open the “Options” list and select the “New Entry” option.

 

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.

 

Pressing the right softkey (“Done”) saves the new entry and you are returned to the “Day View”.

 

Editing an Appointment

 

In the “Month View” and “Week View” windows, the user can browse the calendar days using the joystick key. When a day is selected containing one or more appointments, the voice - after mentioning the date itself - will speak the word “Meeting”.

 

By selecting “Open” from the Options menu or double-pressing the joystick, “Day View” is displayed where a list of all the appointments (meetings, memos, to-do’s and anniversaries) is shown. When scrolling through this list, the subject, location, and starting time of the highlighted item will be spoken.

 

When selecting “Open” in the Options menu in “Day View”, the currently highlighted appointment event will be opened. As when this item was created, the various fields (depending on the type of event) can be scrolled through and edited with the joystick.

 

Again, with the right softkey (“Done”), the newly edited entry will be saved and you will return to “Day View”.

 

Deleting an Appointment

 

By selecting Delete from the Options menu in “Day View”, the highlighted item in the appointments list will be deleted. Before deleting it, you will be prompted to confirm.

4.8             How Do I Check the Battery and Signal Levels?

 

Use Command + left softkey or Tap 4 (Speak) and then double tap 2 to hear the battery and signal strength. Note that you will only hear the status of the items selected under Profile Configuration > Read Status window.

 

 

4.9             How Do I Lock and Unlock the Phone?

 

You can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”.

 

When in the “Standby” window, you can lock the keypad of the phone by pressing the left softkey and subsequently the asterisk key (*). To unlock the keypad, repeat the same steps.

 

4.10        How do I Access the Mobile Speak Control Panel?

 

The Mobile Speak Control Panel can be accessed at any time by using any of the following:

 

·         Pressing the Command key + right softkey

·         Tap 2 (Settings) and double tap 3 on touchscreen devices.

 

Additionally, on Windows Mobile devices the Control Panel can be launched from the Code Factory folder located in the Start Menu, and in the Mobile Speak item in the Home Screen.

 

On Symbian devices, the Mobile Speak application can be accessed by navigating to the “Mobile Speak” folder in the main menu, and opening the Configure Mobile Speak application.

 

 

 

4.11        How Do I Change the Stylus Mode?

 

Activating stylus mode allows you to use the touch screen normally, bypassing all of the Mobile Speak touch commands. This may be useful when the [1]device will be used by a sighted person who might otherwise have difficulty navigating using the touch commands.

 

To activate stylus mode, use the slide up + slide right gesture. To perform this gesture correctly, you should slide your finger up the screen and then to the right, in one upside-down L-shaped motion, without lifting your finger from the screen. At this point the screen will function as a normal touch screen.

 

To return to Mobile Speak’s touch commands, press the command key and then repeat the same gesture to turn off stylus mode.

 

On Symbian phones, you can also use the double tap and hold gesture (a short tap immediately followed by a long tap) instead of the slide up + slide right gesture to turn stylus mode on and off.

 

 

4.12        How do I Mute Mobile Speak?

 

To mute Mobile Speak, press Command Key + 0 or use Tap 2 (Settings Layout) and then use Tap 1.

To resume speech or un-mute, use Command Key + 0 or triple tap.

 

 

4.13        How Do I Stop Mobile Speak?

 

To stop Mobile Speak:

 

1.     Navigate to the “Main Menu”.

2.     Navigate to the “Mobile Speak” folder in the Main Menu using the joystick.

3.     Press the center joystick to open the “Mobile Speak” folder.

 

In the “Mobile Speak” folder, there are various options:

 

·         Stop Mobile Speak

·         Configure Mobile Speak

·         Stop Mobile Magnifier

·         Start Mobile Magnifier

·         Start Mobile Speak

 

4.     Select “Stop Mobile Speak” with the center joystick.

 

To restart Mobile Speak, navigate to “Start Mobile Speak” and press the center joystick.

 

 

5          Licensing

 

Mobile Speak 4 comes with a new licensing system which offers many benefits and allows maximum flexibility. Users can choose between two licensing methods, one based on your telephone number (known as phone-number-based licensing), and one based upon a unique identifier for your device (known as device-based licensing).

 

A detailed description of each of these licensing methods is available on our web page at http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=309.

 

5.1             Activation Manager

 

After installing Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier, you can activate the products or obtain a trial license through the Activation Manager. On Symbian devices, the Activation Manager is launched when entering Configure Mobile Speak > Options > Product Activation. On Windows Mobile devices, first launch the MS Control Panel using the "Mobile Speak" shortcut found in the Today Screen or in the Start menu. Once opened, navigate to "Activation Manager" and press Enter.

 

Before attempting to activate the product, please make sure that your phone has service and is not in offline or flight mode, and that the date and time are set correctly.

 

The Activation Manager will communicate with the Code Factory licensing server using your preferred method of connection:

 

·         Via the Internet using your device's connection with a Wi-Fi hotspot.

·         Via the Internet using your mobile phone's Internet service. Please consult your mobile phone provider about configurations on how to get this to work, as well as any charges for using the service.

·         On Windows Mobile devices, via the Internet using an ActiveSync partnership between your device and a PC with an existing Internet connection.

·         Via SMS/text message. Please consult your mobile phone provider regarding charges for sending and receiving SMS from international numbers. Refer also to our list of mobile phone networks confirmed to work with SMS activations.

 

5.2             Getting a Trial License

 

Getting a trial license is very straightforward in Mobile Speak, and does not require any help from your distributor.

 

1.     Enter the Activation Manager.

Upon entering the Activation Manager on a Symbian device, you will be asked to select your preferred method of connection (SMS or Internet). On a Windows Mobile device, this option is presented later in the activation process. After entering the Activation Manager, some informational prompts will be displayed, warning of possible SMS or Internet charges involved in the activation process.

 

2.     Select “No” when asked if you are a registered user of Code Factory products.

An activation request for a trial license will be sent to the Code Factory server. The request will be done for all Code Factory products installed on the device at the time of activation. Depending on the connection speed, this process may take some minutes. The activation process will then complete and an appropriate information message will be displayed. After completing the activation, the license status for all products will be displayed on the screen on Windows Mobile devices, or on Symbian devices it can be found in Configure Mobile Speak > Options > About.

 

If additional voices or Code Factory products are installed on the device at a later time and you wish to obtain a trial license for them, it may be necessary to repeat the trial activation process in order to obtain the trial license.  Check the license status first if you are unsure.

 

Trial licenses are time and date sensitive. Therefore, changing the time or date on your phone may cause a trial license to expire. If this occurs, simply set the correct time and date and repeat the trial activation process and any remaining days of the trial will be reactivated.

 

5.3             Activating a Full License

 

The process for activating a trial license is very similar to that of obtaining a trial license. After purchasing a full license for your product, enter the Activation Manager, select your preferred method of connection and respond to any informational prompts. Answer “Yes” when asked if you are a registered user of Code Factory products. If connecting via the internet, you will be prompted to enter your phone number if you are registering a product with a phone-number-based license (please leave this field blank if you have a device-based license). Press “OK” (or “Yes”) to send the activation request to the Code Factory server. Once completed, check the license status of all Code Factory products to confirm that the activation has been successful.

 

When activating a full license, a trial license will also be generated for any other installed products that had not previously been trialed and for which you have not yet purchased a license.

 

If at a later time you decide to install additional Code Factory products, or you re-install existing products, you may be required to repeat the activation process.

 

6          The Home Screen

 

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 touchscreen. 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 touchscreen.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

7          Commands

 

7.1             Command Describer 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.

 

7.2             Tutor Messages

 

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 OKAY button which is the left soft key and close all the window..

 

 

 

7.3             About Layouts

 

Mobile Speak 4 organizes commands into groups called “layouts”. These groups combine related commands, such as those dealing with magnification or settings, in order to make them easily accessible and make optimal use of the limited number of keys available on some mobile devices.

 

You can switch between layouts using the keyboard (for devices which have a physical keyboard) or by using the touch screen. Please see the section on command key shortcuts for information on using the keyboard or phone dial pad, or the section on touch UI for details on using the touch screen.

 

The following layouts are available in Mobile Speak 4:

 

Default                                  Includes the most commonly-used commands, such as moving the cursor, as well as switching between other layouts.

Go To                                     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.

Magnification                       Includes the most commonly-used commands for controlling Mobile Magnifier.

 

In Windows Mobile, there are two additional layouts which are used only in specific applications:

 

Internet Explorer               Commands used for navigating web content within Internet Explorer.

Windows Media Player      Includes commands for controlling media playback.

 

In addition to the layouts listed above, there are also two special command modes which are available on touch screen devices: virtual keyboard mode and review cursor mode. While these are not command layouts per se, they do modify the behavior of the touch screen when active. Please consult the relevant sections of this manual for each mode for more information.

 

 

 

8          Configure Mobile Speak

 

Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier are unique because of the flexibility they offer you in customizing your mobile access solution. With more than 60 user-configurable options for speech, Braille and magnification, you can have an accessible phone best suited to your needs and preferences.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

 

·         By default, the key to activate Command Mode is assigned to a long press of the Enter key on a touch device and on a Smartphone it is assigned to Home key.

·         Use the up/down arrow keys or slide up/slide down to navigate the available settings on a page of the configuration window or to move between different controls of a window.

·         Press the left/right arrow keys or slide left/slide right to move between different pages of the configuration window.

·         Press the left/right arrow keys or slide left/slide right to select available option in a combo box.

·         After changing the settings, you must activate the “Okay” option. This option is assigned to the left soft key or is available as a separate option in the left soft menu.

·         Most of the control window has either the “Back” or “Cancel” option assigned to right soft key.

·         Activating the “Back” or “Cancel” option will discard all changes and will return to the previous window/screen/setting page.

·         To activate the left soft key or to open the left soft menu, press it or use the Go To command (tap 1) + tap 4.

·         To activate the right soft key, press it or use the Go To command (tap 1) + tap 4.

·         Most of the options are configurable using the shortcut commands and we recommend that you read the section “Mobile Speak Commands” after reading this section.

·         Before starting to read about Mobile Speak configuration and trying to customize Mobile Speak, it is important you read and understand the new Touch Layout and must read “How-to's” section and “The Touch Screen” section.

 

 

8.1        Mobile Speak Configuration

 

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.

·         Mobile Speak

·         BRF Reader – this option is not 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 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.

 

8.2        Main Settings Page

 

·         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.

8.2.1        General Window

 

·         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 SMobile 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 SMobile 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.

8.2.2        Phone and Calls Window

 

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.

 


8.2.3        Home Screen

 

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.

·         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.

 

8.2.4        Keyboard and Commands

 

·         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 “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 when ever 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) -  the combo box list 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.

8.2.5        Touch

 

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 the 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 90º 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 90º 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 th 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.

·         Enable Touch Vibration Feedback 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.

·         Enable Touch Sound Feedback checkbox (selected by default) - enable this option to have Mobile Speak give sound feedback when you perform the touch commands. Note: the setting will only work if Touch sounds are enabled in the Sound and Notifications area in Device settings.

 

8.2.6        Privacy

 

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; 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 battery consumption if you enable the option to turn off your screen. The feature is implemented to provide extended security while entering a PIN or password or while doing anything of a personal nature.

 

·         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.

·         Enable Privacy Mode checkbox (selected by default) – if this option is enabled the Privacy mode can be Activated by using the privacy mode command.

·         Automatically Enter Privacy mode when Mobile Speak is started checkbox (not selected by default) – if this option is enabled, Mobile Speak will enable privacy mode automatically each time Mobile Speak is started.

·         Screen State combo box (default value is “Turn off Screen completely”) - the option in the combo box controls the state of the screen when the privacy mode is enabled. “Don’t change” will not change the screen when the privacy mode is enabled. “Turn Off Backlight” will turn off the backlight of the device and the screen content will not be clearly visible. “Turn off Screen completely” will disable the screen output and the device screen will be blank. It is important to note that 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.

·         Change Master Volume when Entering Privacy Mode checkbox (deselected by default) – if the option is checked, then while enabling Privacy Mode the volume will be changed to the value selected in the Select a Volume Level combo box.

·         Select a Volume Level combo box (default value is 3) – select volume level to be used when in the privacy mode. This will only work if the if the Change Master Volume while entering Privacy mode checkbox is selected.

 

8.3        Profiles Page

 

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.

o    New Profile – create a new profile. Upon 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.

8.5        Braille Page

 

The Braille Page lists all configured Braille devices and some other options. You can press Enter on the Braille Device name to connect. Use the Up and Down arrows to navigate the list of items available for Braille devices. For more Information on Braille refer to the “Braille” section of this document. Also note that this page is not available if the Braille support is not installed or it has been removed from the device.

 

Note: if there is no Braille device configured, then in the page the left soft key will be “Open” instead of “Options” and can be used to open the currently selected item from the Braille Page.

a.        The left soft key is “Options”, which contains the following menu choices:

                                             I.      Connect – connect to the selected Braille device. Note: this option is not available if the currently selected item is not a Braille device.

                                            II.      Disconnect – disconnect from the connected Braille device. Note that this option is not available if there is no Braille device currently connected.

                                          III.      Turn Bluetooth On – turn on Bluetooth. Note that this option is not available if Bluetooth is currently active.

                                          IV.      Turn Bluetooth Off – turn off the Bluetooth connection. Note that turning off the Bluetooth connection will disconnect from all Bluetooth devices such as Braille display or Bluetooth Headset or Bluetooth Keyboard.  This option is not available if the Bluetooth connection is turned off.

                                           V.      Delete – delete configuration settings for the selected profile. Deleting the configuration of a Braille Device will not allow connection to the Braille device and if in future you need to connect to the Braille device, you will have to reconfigure it. Also note that this option is not available if the selected item is not a Braille device or if a Braille device is currently connected.

                                          VI.      Edit – configure settings for the selected Braille device. For more information, see the “Braille” section.

b.       The right soft key is “Back” - use this option to return the previous window or screen.

 

1.             Set up my Braille Device –configure a new Braille device. For more information, see the “Braille” section. Note that this option is only available if there is no Braille device currently configured with Mobile Speak.

2.             Remove Braille Support From my Device – use this option if you want to remove Braille Support from your device. Note, once the Braille support is removed, it can not be added back again until you completely uninstall and reinstall Mobile Speak.

3.             Add Another Braille Device – add more Braille devices. This option is only available if there has been at least one 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 select Norwegian Grade 2 Braille, UK English Grade 1 Braille, Portuguese 8-dot computer Braille, and US English 6-dot computer Braille, for example.

a.              6 Dot Braille Table combo box - select the Braille table you would like to use when using 6 Dot Braille.

b.             8 Dot Braille Table combo box - select the Braille table you would like to use when using 8 Dot Braille.

c.               Grade 1 Braille Table combo box - select the Braille table you would like to use when using Grade 1 Braille.

d.             Grade 2 Braille Table combo box - select the Braille table you would like to use when using Grade 2 Braille.

e.              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 quickly on a character in that word if you want to insert text at that point, delete that character, or delete the one before it.

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 automatically disable Bluetooth as soon as the command to toggle Braille on/off is performed to break the connection between the Braille device and the mobile phone. This only works if the mobile device is using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.

·         Taskbar – two magnification windows will be shown on the screen. One of them is at the top and will permanently be magnifying the top line of icons so you can easily access the Start menu and other taskbar options. The other window at the bottom will display the remainder of the screen in magnified view.

·         Softkeys – there are three magnification windows in this layout. Two of them are at the bottom part of the screen and will magnify each of the soft keys, which will always be shown in magnified view even as they change when new screens open, so that you can easily access them. The third window above them will cover the rest of the screen.

·         Taskbar and softkeys – there will be four magnification windows. Two will show the soft keys, one will cover the top row of icons, and the other one will display the rest of the screen.

·         Menu Bar – this layout will show two magnification windows, one at the bottom magnifying softkeys together, and the other one magnifying the remainder of the screen.

·         Menu Bar and Taskbar – three magnification windows make up this layout. One magnifying the top row of icons, another magnifying the softkeys together, and the third one magnifying the rest of the screen.

f.                  Border Type combo box - this determines the type of border around the magnification window. Settings you can choose from include None (default), Thin, Medium, and Thick.

g.              Border Color combo box - this allows you to select the color of the border around the magnification window, if any. You can choose from black, white, gray, maroon, red (default), purple, fuchsia, green, lime, olive, yellow, navy, blue, teal, and aqua.

h.             Enable Font Smoothing checkbox (selected by default) - this will determine the state of graphics and font smoothing, which improves the readability of text and icons, especially when using higher zoom levels, making them appear less jagged even if the space between points or pixels that comprise the text character or icon has also been magnified.

3.             Lens Window – you can use the Mobile Magnifier Lens to temporarily view the screen using different settings. In other words, it is useful if you wish to view certain things with different zoom level or with different color scheme etc. Note that the lens will automatically turn off after 5 seconds.

d.             Size combo box – select the size of the lens as “Small” or “Medium” or “Large” depending on your needs and comfort level.

e.              Zoom Level combo box – the default value is “Don’t change”. By default, Mobile Magnifier Lens zoom level will be equal to the zoom level of Magnification settings but in case you prefer to have a different zoom level, you can select one from the list.

f.                  Color Scheme combo box - the default value is “Don’t change”. By default, Mobile Magnifier Lens color scheme will be same as of Mobile Magnifier, but if you prefer to have a different color scheme when using the lens, you may set it here.

g.              Apply Lens Color Scheme to the entire screen checkbox (selected by default) – this option, if selected, and when Mobile Magnifier Lens is enabled, will apply the color scheme of the Lens to the entire screen even if the entire screen is not under the magnification. That is, this option will apply color scheme to the unmagnified area also.

h.             Border Type combo box – select the border type you would lie to use with the Mobile Magnifier Lens.

i.                    Border Color combo box – change and set the color to be used with Mobile Magnifier Lens.

j.                   Movement combo box – this option determines the behavior of the lens while scrolling on the screen. When “Sticky” is selected , Mobile Magnifier Lens will not adjust each time when you navigate to different control  and only changes its position if the current control cannot be displayed with the current position. If Quiet is selected, Mobile Magnifier Lens will adjust each time you move focus to a different control.

k.               Deactivate lens combo box (available only on touch screen devices) – this option controls how the lens can be deactivated. The default option is to disable the lens after a time period specified in the Timeout box has passed. The other option is when the lens is activated and you tap outside the lens on the screen, it is disabled.

l.                    Timeout select box – this option determines the time period for Mobile Magnifier Lens to be inactive. This timeout is only effective if there is no user action and will return to Default Magnification.

4.             Reading Options window

a.              The left soft key is “Okay” - select this option to save changes and return to Magnification page.

b.             The right soft key is “Cancel” - select this option to discard changes and return to the Magnification page.

c.               Enable Auto Text Panning checkbox (selected by default) - if you are magnifying some text that does not fit the screen, this option will instruct the magnifier to automatically pan (i.e., move from left to right) the text so that it continues to show the next part of the text on the same line or screen.

d.             Pan Speed combo box - allows you to determine the speed of text panning. Possible values are Slow, Normal (default), and Fast.

e.              Start Panning after combo box – the value in the option determines, when navigating to different control the time after which Mobile Magnifier should start panning the screen. The available choices are 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and 10 seconds.

f.                  Keep Focus Item in the center of the screen checkbox (deselected by default) - enabling this option instructs the Magnifier to keep the magnified item centered on the screen all the time as 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 can not be added back unless you completely remove Mobile Speak and re- install Mobile Speak.

 

8.7        Activation Page

 

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.

 

8.8             TTS and Voices

 

Mobile Speak supports voices from several different text-to-speech technology providers, including Acapela, Fonix, and Loquendo. You can install as many voices for as many languages as you want, provided there is enough space on your device's memory or storage card to accommodate the TTS files. It is strongly advised that you always install TTS voices to the storage card in order to have as much free space in the device's main memory for running programs and storing data that cannot be moved to the storage card.

 

For each TTS voice installed, you can configure different parameters including the rate of speaking, pitch and volume, as well as a user dictionary for pronunciations that will be used if that voice is selected. For more information about configuring these and other parameters, please see “Configure Mobile Speak” in this manual.

 

An important new feature in Mobile Speak 4 is the ability to use up to three languages from a given TTS provider with only a single license. In other words, if you purchase a license for Mobile Speak with the Acapela TTS, you can use up to three Acapela voices for the price of one. This can be useful if you prefer different voices for different types of applications, or if you would like to install voices in different languages and always have them available. You can also uninstall a given voice and install a different one from the same TTS provider as often as you like without obtaining a new license.

 

If you would like to install more than three voices from a specific TTS provider, additional licenses can be purchased. Please contact your distributor for more information.

 

9          Mobile Speak 4 Touch Interface


Mobile Speak 4 allows you to completely control your device using the touch screen only. You can, of course, combine touch gestures and key commands in order to obtain the best experience using your device depending on its design and hardware features. It is always up to you to use touch gestures, keyboard shortcuts, or both.

9.1        Get Started with the Touch Test Drive (Windows Mobile Only)

 

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.

9.2        Navigation Gestures

 

You can move around and select items using the touch screen in the same way as you do with the arrows and Enter key. You can perform these actions with the following gestures:

·         Double tap (anywhere on the screen): Simulates the Enter key on the element in focus.

·         Slide up/down/left/right: Simulate arrow keys. To perform a slide just touch the screen and slide your finger over it in the desired direction, then release the screen. Touch movements should cover a distance of about 30% of the screen length or greater, but do not need to span the entire width or height of the display. Slides should also be performed around the center of the screen, since many phones have a non-touch-sensitive area around the edges of the device. Note also that you do not need to slide very fast; it should take approximately 1 second to slide the whole screen width or height.

9.3        Using Touch Commands

 

The touch screen has been divided into 4 virtual keys named 1 to 4 clockwise and starting on the upper-left corner on the screen. This will sound familiar to users of previous versions of Mobile Speak Pocket. Imagine that you have 4 keys on the touch screen, and if you press the upper left corner area you are pressing the virtual key 1. The upper right part of the touch screen is the virtual key 2, virtual key 3 is placed near the bottom right corner and, the bottom left part of the touch screen corresponds to the virtual key 4.

For example, long tap 1 will show you the Start Menu of the device, long tap 2 closes the application you are in, tap 3 performs the command Stop Speaking, long tap 3 toggles the new Privacy Mode (Windows Mobile Only), and long tap 4 locks the screen.

Some commands have been grouped in order to give you intuitive access to them. This way you have 3 secondary command groups named "Speak", "Go-to", and "Settings" command layouts.

As its name indicates, the Speak command layout contains commands which will make Mobile Speak give information to you (read date and time, read device status, repeat last spoken text) and reading commands.

The Go-to layout allows you to launch applications, press the soft-keys, move to previous or next control, launch special tools like the touch keyboard or the application switcher, etc.

The Settings layout allows you to configure Mobile Speak, mute, speech rate, volume, keyboard echo, etc.

These 3 secondary command layouts are accessible after the gestures:

·         Tap 1: brings up the Go-to command layout.

·         Tap 2: brings up the Settings command layout.

·         Tap 4: brings up the Speak command layout.

For example, to have Mobile Speak read the device status you should use the command double tap 2 in the Speak layout. To do this, you first need to activate the Speak layout with Tap 4. Mobile Speak will say "Speak", indicating that you have activated your desired layout. Then double tap 2 (read device status) and you will get the desired information.

Another example: imagine that you want to have Mobile Speak read the soft keys. To do that just tap 4 (Speak) and then tap 1, which is the gesture associated with the read soft keys command under the Speak layout.

This way you can perform any command with two touch gestures at most. In addition to this, that you have some gestures directly available in the default mode. For example, on Windows Mobile devices, Show Start Menu is assigned to long tap 1.

Note that when you enter into a secondary command layout it is possible to have different functions associated with the directional slides (more information can be found in the full command description section). For example, if you Tap 2, bringing up the Settings command layout, sliding up and down will respectively increase and decrease the volume and sliding left and right will modify the speech rate.

Once you bring up a secondary command layout there are two ways to go back to the default assignment. There's a timeout which will send you back to the default after 10 seconds of inactivity, or you can triple tap the screen to force Mobile Speak to reset its touch input to default.

To learn all the touch screen commands, see http://www.codefactory.es/MS4/MS4Commands.doc

9.4        Command List

 

The command list is a useful way of using the phone if you do not wish to learn the touch screen commands as it allows you to reach the available commands through the touch interface. Apart from performing commands normally by taps, double taps, and so on, you can slide and hold (i.e., slide in any direction, then stop moving and keep your finger on the screen until the voice announcement is heard) and Mobile Speak will speak "Command List".

Once this happens, you can access the available commands by sliding up and down in the same way as if it were a menu. This mode lists the available commands for the current layout, so by default you have access to Open Start Menu, Go-to, Settings, Stop speech, Speak, etc; if you are in the "Speak" command layout then this menu will give you access to the speak specific commands like read date and time, read current screen, etc. Use the command list to perform commands if you do not remember the gesture sequence to reach the desired functionality. For example, you know that Tap 4 is "Speak", but you do not remember where in the Speak command group the read date and time function may be. In this case you can Tap 4 (Speak) and then slide and hold the screen to have access to the list of commands available on the Speak group.

 

The commands are listed sequentially so you can easily select the one you want. The available gestures when you launch the Command List are:

 

·         Slide up/down: Move to the previous/next available command. 

·         Slide left/right: Move to the previous/next available commands 3 by 3 (kind of next/prev page; useful for long menus). Note that this is available only on Windows Mobile. 

·         Tap (anywhere): Get help about the current command. Note that this is available only on Windows Mobile.  

·         Double tap (anywhere): Execute the current command.

·         Triple tap (anywhere): Close the command list and return to the default gesture mode for the current command layout.

·         You can also tap and hold and move your finger up and down around the screen in order to explore the list of commands.

 

9.5        More Tips and Tricks

 

·         Triple tap is an excellent way to reset, or "return to normality" in most cases. If you get lost simply triple tap the screen to return to the default state. Moreover, triple tap will also allow you to turn off mute, exit the review cursor, exit the virtual touch keyboard, unlock the device, exit the command list, and, on Windows Mobile devices, identify the caller ID when the phone is ringing.

·         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 Up Volume key. In this mode, you can use the screen without having the Mobile Speak touch interface enabled. Therefore you can tap what you see. It is useful for sighted people who may need to use the device with or without Mobile Speak. To go back to the touch mode, press the volume up key once more. Touch gestures are available even when Stylus Mode is on by pressing the Command key followed by the gesture. The command key will temporarily allow you to perform Mobile Speak touch gestures, and once the command modifier is turned off Stylus Mode will work normally again. When issuing a long press of the volume up key (Toggle Stylus Mode), if the system volume is set to 0, the volume will automatically be set mid-way, in order to prevent users from accidentally lowering the volume and not knowing how to restore it. Note that Stylus Mode will not be changed in this case, and Mobile Speak will say "Mobile Speak" in order to let the user know that the volume has been restored.

 

·         After performing the Speak Softkeys command by Tap 4 (speak) + Tap 1 (read soft keys) you have 5 seconds to directly activate the desired softkey by a single Tap 4 (left soft key) or Tap 3 (right soft key). During this time you won't need to press Tap 1 (Go-to) and then the desired soft key.

9.10   Miscellaneous

 

·        Dialed characters will not be spoken if the option "Silent while dialing" is selected in Mobile Speak's Control Panel.

·        In Windows Mobile, upon installing Mobile Speak, in the Mobile Speak Control Panel you can set the default dialer for the phone application, thus making it accessible. If the keypad is shown, you can use the Go to next control command, and then use the arrow keys + enter in order to navigate and dial numbers.

 

9.11   Virtual Touch Keyboard

 

There are several methods for entering text using Mobile Speak. If your device includes a physical keyboard, this will probably be the most convenient and efficient method. Additionally, you can use an external QWERTY or Braille keyboard. However, Mobile Speak also includes an on-screen virtual keyboard which allows you to enter text using the touch screen.

 

The virtual touch input method works by directly entering the characters on the touch screen of the device. When you activate this input method, a virtual keyboard is enabled on the screen. Use the stylus or your finger to select a character, keeping contact with the screen as you move through the characters. When a character is selected, Mobile Speak will speak that character. To insert the character that is currently selected, just lift your finger or the stylus from the screen. Note that as soon as you release the character held at the tip of the stylus or finger, it is inserted. The stylus or your finger should therefore remain pressed to the screen until you find the character that you wish to insert.

 

To activate the virtual keyboard, use tap 1 + long tap 4. To exit the virtual keyboard mode, triple tap anywhere on the screen.

 

There are five keyboard types in this input method: lower case, upper case, symbol, numbers, and phone keypad. You can change the current keyboard type using double tap 2 or double tap 3.

 

In Windows Mobile, you can use the Control Panel to set all keyboard layouts as portrait (useful if your touch screen is square and you do not get much benefit with the landscape mode). The numbers and phone keypad layouts will always be displayed in portrait mode, whereas you can choose to display the lower case, upper case, and symbol keyboard layouts as portrait or landscape from the Control Panel.

 

To set the keyboard layout to portrait or landscape, go to Configure Mobile Speak, then to Touch. Please note Windows Mobile users must keep in mind the display of the 4 quadrants when using a specific keyboard layout. For example, if you use a keyboard layout which has been set to portrait, quadrant 1 will be at the top left of the screen when you hold the phone in portrait. If it has been set to landscape, quadrant 1 will be at the top left of the screen when you hold the phone in landscape. Therefore quadrant 1 on portrait mode would be quadrant 4 on landscape mode, and quadrant 2 on portrait mode would be quadrant 1 on landscape. Therefore, it is important that you always know whether your keyboard layout is set to portrait or landscape and remember that numbers and phone keypad layouts will always be displayed in portrait mode, whereas you can choose to display the lower case, upper case and symbol keyboard layouts as portrait or landscape from the Control Panel.

 

Note that the phone keypad layout should be automatically selected if you launch the touch keyboard from the Today Screen or Phone application in Windows Mobile.

In addition, for Windows Mobile there are two keyboard modes available: dynamic and normal (use tap 1 to toggle between them). When you first open the virtual keyboard you are, by default, in the dynamic keyboard. This means that wherever you first put your finger is the letter H or the number 5 for numeric keyboard layouts. On the normal keyboard you will only find the letter H at the middle of the screen.

 

You can also choose between various input languages by using double tap 1 or double tap 4. The available languages depend on the TTS you have installed. For example, if you have a French and English voice installed, you will toggle between QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards.

 

While you are writing with the virtual keyboard, use tap 2 to backspace (you do not have to look for the Backspace key every time you want to delete a character) and tap 3 to perform the Enter key.

 

Sliding up/down/left/right allow you to navigate the text while you are working with the touch keyboard.


The following summary lists the commands that are available in virtual keyboard mode:

Slide Left                        Previous Character

Slide Right                      Next Character

Slide Up                          Previous Line

Slide Down                     Next Line

Tap 1*                             Toggle Dynamic / Static Keyboard mode (Windows Mobile)

Tap 2                               Simulate Back key

Tap 3                               Simulate Return key

Double tap 3*                Set Next Keyboard Layout

Double tap 2*                Set Previous keyboard layout

Double tap 4*                Set Next Language, if more than one language is installed

Double tap 1*                Set Previous language, if more than one language is installed

Triple tap                        Exit, Virtual Keyboard

 

* After performing these commands, one can use single tap anywhere to keep cycling the command assignment. Note – 5 seconds of inactivity will turn off this mode or you can use triple tap to go back to Virtual Keyboard.

 

10     Review Cursor

 

Although Mobile Speak provides access to most of the controls and text on the display, there may be situations where the text or graphical information that you require is not readily accessible with the standard navigation commands. This may be due to a number of reasons including the information in question being embedded in a static text control or the use of non-standard controls by the developers of third-party applications and Web pages.

 

In order to get around inaccessible controls, Mobile Speak includes a special review cursor that lets you navigate through the entire screen and read the text or graphics which are otherwise hard to access. In some instances, you may also move focus to an item selected in Review Cursor mode.

 

To activate Review Cursor mode and read the entire screen, press the Home key + 3 in the Default layout. While in Review Cursor mode, you cannot perform MS commands involving the Home key. To turn off the review cursor manually, press the Home key. Mobile Speak will say “Review Cursor off”.

 

When the Review Cursor mode is active, use the arrow keys to navigate through the contents of the current screen or the window. The left and right arrow keys move the cursor by character, while the up and down arrow keys move the cursor one line at a time.

 

If you would like to try to place focus on an item (this usually works with list views like a list of files and folders that Mobile Speak cannot read properly) using the review cursor, navigate to that item and press the Enter key. If you checked the option “Turn off Review Cursor when doing an action” (unchecked by default) under Mobile Speak Control Panel > Main Settings > General, the Mobile Speak cursor will automatically be turned off and focus will be placed on that item if possible. Press Enter again if you want to activate that item (e.g., open the file or folder). If the option listed above is unchecked, the Review Cursor will remain active until you manually deactivate it by pressing the Command key.

 

10.1        Review Cursor for Touch Screen Devices


In addition to the functionality described above, using Review Cursor mode on touch screen devices also allows you to navigate the phone interface intuitively, by moving your finger over the screen while Mobile Speak reads the contents as you touch them. To activate the Review Cursor mode using the touch screen, use tap 1 + double tap 3. To exit Review Cursor mode without selecting anything, triple tap anywhere on the screen.

 

You can either move your finger around the screen and Mobile Speak will read what is under your finger, or you can move between the items which are on the screen with slides up, down, left and right.

 

·         Double tap: select current item.

·         Slide left/right: previous/next character.

·         Slide up/down: previous/next line.

·         Tap 1: previous word.

·         Tap 2: next word.

·         Tap 4: move to home.

·         Tap 3: Advanced commands, which include Tap 1 (text format information), Tap 2 (show Graphics Labeler). Graphics Labeler is only available on Windows Mobile.

Note: if you want to label graphics, Graphics Verbosity must be on. To activate Graphic Verbosity, exit the Review Cursor (triple tap), tap 2 (settings layout), and long tap 2 (toggle Graphic Verbosity).

 

11     Graphics Labeler

 

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 + long tap 2) to cycle through the three options for graphics verbosity: Labeled, All, and None. Simple taps everywhere on the screen (after tap 2 + long tap 2 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) + long tap 3 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.

 

12     Braille

Mobile Speak can provide output through electronic refreshable Braille devices. Both text and control information will be available in Braille as you navigate around the mobile phone environment. Furthermore, using devices with Braille input keys, you can create and edit documents with any of the currently supported Braille grades and languages.

Through the Braille page found in Mobile Speak’s 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.

12.1        Getting Started

For some devices (including those from HumanWare, BAUM, and Handy Tech), the first step in using Braille with Mobile Speak is to pair the Braille display with your 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.

 

12.1.1              Adding a Braille Device in the Braille page

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.

12.1.2              Turning Braille On

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 + dial 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 softkey to activate the Options menu.

4.       Navigate to Connect and press Enter.

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 + dial again. Alternatively, you can select Disconnect from the Options menu in the Braille page of the Control Panel.

 

12.1.3              Removing a Braille Display

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.

12.1.4              Turning Bluetooth on and off

The option to turn Bluetooth on and off is located in the Options menu of the Braille page.

12.2        Configuring Braille Settings

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 softkey.

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

·         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 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 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 softkey assigned to OK to close this dialog and save any changes you made, or press the right softkey to select Cancel instead to exit without applying the changes.

 

12.3        Entering and Editing Text Using Braille

When focus lands on an edit control, Braille output automatically switches to edit mode so that Mobile Speak displays the text cursor by raising dots 7 and 8. At present, this tactile cursor is only available when 6- or 8-dot computer Braille is selected. If there is an uppercase character at the cursor position, the dots will alternate, meaning that dot 8 is raised while dot 7 is not. If text selection commands are used, dots 7 and 8 will both appear in all the cells of the selected text.

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.

12.4        Braille Output Mode

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 softkeys. 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.

 

12.5        BRF Reader and Bookshare.org Unpack Application

Code Factory recognizes the power of Windows Mobile devices and how they can be used not only for communication but also for performing other tasks such as note taking and reading books. On Windows Mobile, Mobile Speak fully supports all Office Mobile applications (Word, Excel and PowerPoint). It also supports a third-party application for reading PDF files.

Moreover, a unique feature of Mobile Speak, never seen in other screen readers for desktop computers or for mainstream mobile devices, is a Braille file 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. Furthermore, this application already includes a Bookshare unpack utility so after you save the BKS2 or BKS files to your device, you can simply navigate to a Bookshare BRF file using File Explorer, 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 BKS2 or 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 Braille device is connected, and will ask if you wish to proceed. Press the left softkey for "Yes".

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 some point or cursor position, or if you plan to navigate by paragraphs, then pressing the right softkey for "No" will make speech output 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 softkey for "Yes" at that prompt instead.

Remember that text navigation commands to read by character (left / right arrow key), line (up / down arrow key), and the other commands available if you wish 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. Observe also that Mobile Speak will say the correct name of each Braille character.

To view a list of BRF, BKS2 and BKS files saved on your device or storage card:

1.             Press the left softkey for "Options" when in the Braille Reader application or a BRF file itself.

2.             Select Open.

Mobile Speak will search for supported files and a series of double beeps is played to indicate the progress of the search.

3.             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 reopened later.

There are other options in the menu opened by the left softkey, including a Find function for searching text within the BRF file as well as options for adding and viewing bookmarks that allow you to jump easily 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 softkey 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.

 

12.6        Using the BrailleNote with Mobile Speak

 

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.

 

1.             Make the Windows Mobile phone discoverable to other Bluetooth devices by going to Start > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth and changing the Bluetooth status to "On" and to "Discoverable" so that the BrailleNote can find it.

2.             Press the right softkey (still in the Bluetooth dialog) to open the Menu. Navigate to "Com ports" and press Enter.

3.             Press the right softkey to open the Menu in the next window. Navigate to "New incoming port" and hit Enter.

4.             Select a COM port number higher than 5. Leave the checkbox for creating secured connections checked.

5.             Press the left softkey to close the dialog and save your settings. Keep activating the left softkey for "Done" to close all windows and return to the Today screen.

 

On the BrailleNote:

1.       Press 'o' in the Main Menu to open the Options menu, and then press 'c' to go to the Connectivity menu.

2.       Press 'b' in the Connectivity menu to open the Bluetooth menu. If the first option asks "Bluetooth on? Yes", then press Space+Dot4 or the Down arrow to move to the Device Search prompt. If the first option asks "Bluetooth on? No", press 'y' to enable Bluetooth.

 The BrailleNote will display the message "Starting Bluetooth, please wait". If Bluetooth is successfully enabled, the BrailleNote will ask "Search for devices?".

3.       Press 'y' to begin the search in the device Search prompt.

The BrailleNote will display the message: "Searching for Bluetooth devices, please wait". If the BrailleNote finds any Bluetooth devices, it will show "list of Bluetooth devices".

4.       Use Space+dot4 or the Down arrow to see the devices.

5.       Select your Smartphone in the list and press Enter.

The BrailleNote will then show the supported services of the Bluetooth-enabled device with the prompt: "List of services for ", where is the device name that you have selected in the previous step.

6.        In this list, Navigate to "ActiveSync service", and press Enter.

You will be asked if you want to pair with this device, with the prompt: "Pair with and activate ActiveSync?".

7.       Press 'y'.

BrailleNote will then ask for the "Authentication code?".

8.       Type any number here, then press Enter.

 If you are using a BrailleNote BT mPower or BrailleNote PK, please check the numbers you've typed with speech before pressing Enter, as numbers in Grade 1 / Grade 2 or computer Braille are entered differently.

12.7        Using Other Braille Devices with Mobile Speak

 

Unless you have a BrailleNote mPower or BrailleNote PK, refer to this section on how to set up your Braille device for use with Mobile Speak. First check your Braille device user manual for information on the passkey used to connect this unit with other Bluetooth devices.

 

Note: on some WM6 and WM6.1 phones, softkey options may be reversed. For example, the "Next" option mentioned in the following steps may be assigned to the left rather than the right softkey. To check the softkey assignments, use the Command +Enter command.

 

1.       On your Windows Mobile Phone, go to Start > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth and set the Bluetooth status to "On".

Alternatively, you can open the Wireless Manager through the Quick List or Start menu, or go to Start > Bluetooth > Bluetooth Manager > Bluetooth Settings if you cannot find a Bluetooth option in Start > Settings > Connections.

2.       Press the right softkey to open the Menu, and press Enter on "Devices".

3.       Press the right softkey In the window that opens next to open the menu.

First make sure that your Braille device is turned on and that you have enabled its Bluetooth option if necessary.

4.       Press Enter on "New".

Your Windows Mobile phone will start scanning for Bluetooth devices in range. Please wait for the list to populate. Note that if there is only one Bluetooth device found, Mobile Speak may not read its name but will instead read the softkeys of this window and you will notice that the "Next" option assigned to the right softkey will no longer be disabled.

5.       If there is more than one Bluetooth device shown in the list, navigate to your Braille device using the arrows and press the right softkey for "Next".

If there is just one, simply proceed to the next window by hitting the right softkey as this device would already be selected. You will then be asked to enter a passkey for the connecting device.

6.       Type in the specific passkey for your Braille device if there is one, or key in a string of numbers no fewer than four digits.

7.       Press the right softkey for "Next".

Depending on the Braille device, you may need to type in the same passkey using its Braille keyboard. Please refer to the user's manual for your Braille device regarding this, including instructions on how the passkey is to be entered in Braille (using which Braille grade of which language). When pairing is successful, a message telling you so appears on the screen and is read by Mobile Speak.

8.       Press the left softkey for "OK".

A new window opens where you can type in a display name for the Braille device you have just connected, or to accept the default name.

9.       Press the left softkey for "Next".

The list of available services for the Bluetooth device is shown.

10.    Check the checkbox for "Serial port".

11.    Press the left softkey for "Done".

12.    Close all windows by pressing left softkey for “Done" until you are back to the Start menu.

13.    Follow the steps in section 2.2 to add your Braille display in Mobile Speak Control Panel.

 

 

12.8        BRF Reader and Bookshare Unpack Utility

 

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 softkey for "Exit".

 

13     Magnification

 

Mobile Magnifier is a full-screen magnification application that enlarges and improves readability of screen contents, detects areas of interest to make them more visible, and offers hotkeys to obtain a magnified view of screen icons conveying non-textual information. With Mobile Magnifier you can:

 

·         Enlarge screen contents in ten variable levels of magnification.

·         Smooth curves and edges of magnified fonts and graphics.

·         Access seven different color schemes for better visual contrast.

·         Magnify the whole screen or just areas of interest.

·         Easily pan and scroll screen contents even in magnified view.

 

Although licensed separately, Mobile Magnifier can be installed together with Mobile Speak, making it easy to provide speech output and screen magnification at the same time if desired.

 

13.1   Exploring the Mobile Phone Screen

 

Although Mobile Magnifier will automatically detect the area of interest and magnify it in real-time, there may be instances where freely exploring the entire screen is needed. In order to do this, you can press and hold the arrow keys at any time while Mobile Magnifier is running to pan the screen contents.

 

In addition, on Windows Mobile devices Mobile Magnifier provides a mode called “Lens”. While in this mode, you can use the stylus or finger directly on the touch screen in order to move the lens around the screen. At any time, you can tap once or tap twice quickly on areas that are inside the lens as you would normally do with the touch screen. Moving the lens around the screen can also be accomplished by using the arrow keys. This makes the lens available even on devices that do not have a touch screen.

 

13.2   Starting and Stopping Mobile Magnifier

 

Mobile Magnifier can be started or stopped in any of the following ways:

 

·         Pressing the Command Key + Long 0

·         From the Code Factory folder located under the phone’s Start Menu

·         Tap 2 (Settings) + tap 4 through the touch screen

 

On Windows Mobile devices, you can also start and stop Mobile Magnifier from the Magnification page on the Home Screen.

 

13.3   Configuring Mobile Magnifier

 

Mobile Magnifier provides a wide range of configuration settings to fit the needs of each user and provide the best user experience for each different phone. These settings can be configured from the Magnification Page found in the Mobile Speak configuration utility. Please see to the section on configuring Mobile Speak elsewhere in this manual for more details.

 

13.4   Uninstalling Mobile Magnifier

 

On Windows Mobile phones, it is possible to uninstall Mobile Magnifier while keeping Mobile Speak installed. To do so, select the option “Remove Mobile Magnifier from my device” found in the Magnification page under the Mobile Speak Control Panel.

 

14     User Dictionary

 

You can change the way your current TTS voice pronounces words through Mobile Speak’s User Dictionary.

 

There are several ways to access the User Dictionary:

 

·         Command key + Long 4

·         Windows Mobile devices: through the Mobile Speak Control Panel, under the Voices option found in the Profile Configuration page.

·         Symbian devices: through Configure Mobile Speak, press the left soft key and select ‘User Dictionary’.

 

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).

17     Third-Party Application Support

 

17.1   Pocket Outlook

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 synchronise, 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.

17.1.1    Messaging

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 on 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 and do the needful.

You can also access your POP3 or IMAP-based e-mail account directly from the Messaging application. But before you can send and receive messages, you need to create / configure that account on your device. To do this, open the application menu by pressing the Right softkey in the main Messaging screen, and select "new account" from the Tools submenu. Note- in some device there will be an option like “Setup E-mail”, which also can be used to configure E-mail 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 Today screen item displaying the number of unread messages, focus is in the particular Messaging folder. Pressing Left or Right arrow moves focus to the next / previous messaging folder. Alternatively, if there are new SMS, MMS and e-mail 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 e-mail 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 and 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 f these three (e.g., "Unread, not downloaded", "Not downloaded, attachment", "Unread, attachment", or "Unread, not downloaded, attachment"). To open a message, press the Enter key or use Double tap. After a message is opened, Mobile Speak automatically reads the header information such as the "From", "To", "Date" fields and then starts reading the text of the message. If you want to review the text manually, press Tap3 or press 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 like what one finds with instant messaging programs. This thread view is enabled by default but can be disabled through an option in Mobile Speak Configuration window > 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 Long tap 2 or by pressing the Back key.

Options to reply, forward, or delete the message are accessible through the menu opened by the Right softkey. On some Pocket PCs, the Left softkey 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 softkey, or press the Left softkey if it is assigned to "New" (like on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices). In the new message window, the focus is by default 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 orslide 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 that is command key + # key or Speak Layout > Tap 3.

To send the message after you have finished composing it, activate the Left softkey. The message will be move to the Outbox folder and will be sent when you connect to the internet next time (e-mail).

 

For More information on messaging, we recommend to refer to your device Manual or visit  Microsoft Windows Mobile Help Page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/default.mspx.

However, to use Mobile Speak with windows Mobile, it is important you understand the navigation and reading and advance reading commands. Refer to * for navigation commands, * for Reading commands and * for Advance Reading commands.

17.1.2    Contacts

Open the Contacts application either using the Right softkey that is assigned by default to launch this program, or by selecting it from the Start menu. To create a new contact, press the Left softkey 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, on some edit fields, pressing Enter may get you the list of sub fields like pressing enter or double tap on Name Field, will present fields like 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, to select an option in a list you should first activate / open the list using the enter or double tap, use arrow keys or the slide gestures to select an item in the list and again press double tap or enter to close the list.

On Date fields like Birthday, you should use left / right arrow key 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 Long Tap 2 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 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 Long tap2 .

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 contact application refer to your Device User Manual or Windows Mobile Help Page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/default.mspx.

17.1.3    Calendar

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 softkey 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 softkey 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 softkey.

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 byGo to layout > Long tap 2, 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 int eh 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 long tap 2 or appropriate softkey. 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 softkeys or from the menu to save.

17.1.4    Tasks

To open the tasks application, select it from Start > programs on your device, or press Enter on the Today Screen item showing the pending tasks for the day. Apart from 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 already have tasks recorded, focus is placed on the Tasks list. Use the Up and Down arrow keys or Touch 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). If the task is complete, checking the checkbox will mark it as thus and the Today Screen item for active tasks will reflect this change. Unchecked items are the pending tasks. To check or uncheck a task, either use the Left softkey 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 softkey 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 Smartphone, 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 softkeys or from the menu to save.

While focus is on the main tasks list, one can use 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.

17.1.5    Notes

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 in * 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 Smartphone the Voice Notes is all together 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”.

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.

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.

9. EMERGENCY CALLS.

 

The devices on which the Software operates use radio signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.

 

Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local cellular service providers to determine the methods for placing emergency calls.

 

To make an emergency call:

A) if the phone is not turned on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some networks may require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the phone.

B) press the hang up key as many times as necessary (for example, to exit a call, to exit a menu, etc.) in order to clear the display and prepare the phone for calls.

C) key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.

D) press the dial key. If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency call.

 

Consult your local cellular service provider for more information.

 

When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Keep in mind that your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident – do not end the call until given permission to do so.

 

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

 

According to the regulations in force referring to royalties, especially the revised text of “Ley Española de Propiedad Intelectual” approved by “Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1996” of 12th April, in Articles 1, 5.2, 8, 95 and further concurrent ones, and as per the international agreements on this matter, in particular the Bern Agreement as well as the Geneva Convention and Council Management of European Communities of 14th May 1991 about legal protection of computer programs, Code 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.
