Mobile Speak 4 is cross-platform, touch, multi-voice, and ready for the next generation.
With Mobile Speak 4, you can switch phones as many times as you want, for free. In addition, Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier are not only cross-device, they are also cross-platform, which means you can transfer your Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier license from a Symbian to a Windows Mobile device and vice versa.
In Mobile Speak 4, your mobile phone number is your user ID. Therefore, as long as you do not change phone numbers you can transfer your Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier license between devices, free of charge, as many times as you wish. There is also no need to deactivate your license from the old device before activating it on a new device. Just enter your phone number on the new device and your license will automatically be activated. Likewise, if your phone is stolen, broken or lost, as long as you do not change phone numbers, you do not have to send Code Factory any kind of certificate - just install the software on your new device and activate it with your User ID.
With Mobile Speak 4, you have three different ways to interact with your touch screen mobile phone:
1. Use the classic keyboard commands.
2. Use a brand new system of easy touch screen commands
3. Move your finger around the touch screen and let Mobile Speak tell you what is below your fingertips.
The Mobile Speak touch interface has been completely redesigned - it is now much more powerful and intuitive than Mobile Speak Pocket, its predecessor. It also works on Symbian as well as Windows Mobile, 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.
When you buy Mobile Speak 4 license, you get three voices for the price of one.
With Acapela and Loquendo, Mobile Speak 4 allows you to use up to three voices from a single Text-To-Speech provider. That means that you can use either three Acapela or three Loquendo voices with only one Mobile Speak license. Further, no matter which voices you choose to install first, you are not tied to them. As long as you do not use more than three voices at the same time, you can switch them as many times as you like. However remember that this feature is tied to the Text-To-Speech provider, so you will have to choose if you prefer to have three voices from either Acapela or Loquendo because you will not be able to mix voices from both providers.
With Mobile Speak 4, you do not have to worry about being left behind with old technology. Mobile Speak supports the latest mobile phones such as the Nokia N97 and HTC Touch Pro 2, as well as the latest versions of Windows Mobile, V6.5 and of Symbian, S60 5th Edition. To check the full list of supported devices, and to know which devices are considered as the most popular among Mobile Speak users, please visit our Web site at http://www.codefactory.es.
In addition to supporting the latest handsets, Mobile Speak 4 also offers many new features, including:
· New keyboard shortcuts.
· The possibility to add new user profiles and assign a specific voice to a specific application (calendar, messages, contacts, etc).
· Back light option - disable or reduce the backlight to save battery power.
· Stop Mobile Speak while it is speaking.
· Support for 8 of the latest Acapela voices: Dutch Belgian Jeroen, French Margaux, Greek Dimitris, Norwegian Olav, Portuguese Brazilian Marcia, Russian Alyona, Spanish Antonio, and Turkish Ipek.
The Symbian version of Mobile Speak 4 includes new features such as:
· Advanced support for text editors such as Quickword, LightNotepad, and Nokia built-in Notepad.
· You can now edit a document as well as read by line, sentence, words, and characters.

· Support for Vocale Presse, an accessible application to read newspapers.
· Configurable volume limits.
· Phonetic spelling mode.
· Improved built-in user dictionary: ability to add a word as case dependant (useful for abbreviations for example), or words with punctuation symbol.
· Support for new Nokia devices: 5730, 6700 Slide, 6710, 6720, 6730, 6760, 6790 Slide, 6790 Surge, E52, E72, N86, 5230, 5530, 5800, N97, N97 Mini, and X6.
· Supports for new Arabic Youssef Acapela voice.
· Support for Galop, a new Czech TTS provider.
New features in Mobile Speak 4 for Windows Mobile include:
· Advanced support for Internet Explorer, you can now navigate by the control of your choice.
· Configurable command key.
· Rewind speech output feature.
· More vibration feedback.
· Command feedback option - when enabled, Mobile Speak will speak the name of the key after pressing it.
· Toggle audio routing feature allowing a switch between normal, phone speaker and Bluetooth headset.
· Privacy mode to use the phone with Mobile Speak in a normal way but without letting people see what is on the screen. When enabled, a static background image is displayed on the screen.

· Support for 3 new Loquendo voices: Polish Krysztof and Zosia, and Spanish Carmen.
If you have obtained your mobile phone from a distributor, Mobile Speak / Mobile Magnifier will already be installed on your device. However, it is possible that you may have had to remove the software from your system, or that you have downloaded the software from the Internet and want to install it yourself.
Prior to installation, ensure the following:
1. The date and time must be correctly set on your phone. Otherwise, the packages may not install successfully and the trial license may not function properly.
2. That there is sufficient free memory available on the device (either in the phone memory, memory card, or the hard disk). The Mobile Speak package requires around 6Mb of free memory, while the voice package sizes can vary (Acapela HQ voices are the largest and may occupy up to 25 Mb).
3. That the firmware on your phone is up to date. To check your current firmware, please dial *#0000#. The earlier firmware versions on many Symbian phones have issues that interfere with the operation of your phone, with and without Mobile Speak installed. To update your firmware, either go to your Nokia service center, or (if your phone is on the list of supported phones) do it online using the Nokia firmware update service at http://www.nokia.com/A4176089. To check what firmware is available for your phone via the Nokia firmware update service, first go to http://europe.nokia.com/A4305060 and enter your phone’s product code (a seven-digit code found inside the phone, on a label underneath the battery). Most S60 3rd edition phones are supported by this service.
4. That your phone is using the correct security setting. Note that on some phones (especially E-series or operator-branded models), an additional security setting exists. The default setting may need to be changed before installation of any application is permitted on the phone. To do this, go into the phone’s Application Manager and press Options / Settings and make sure that Software Installation is set to “ON”, and Online Certificate Check is set to “OFF”.
The following instructions apply to phones where Mobile Speak has never been previously installed, or where all Mobile Speak packages have been removed. If you are upgrading from a previous version of Mobile Speak, please read the section on upgrading below before returning to this section to complete the installation.
All installation packages can be found on the Code Factory web site. The base Mobile Speak package has a name such as “MobileSpeak_S60_v4.0.SIS”. It contains all the files needed to run Mobile Speak with the Nokia voices, and also to run Mobile Magnifier. To use other voices, you can install TTS packages which can all be found on the Code Factory web site. In general, the TTSs have a single installation package (e.g. “english_us-heather_22k_3rd.SIS”). The Loquendo voices are an exception – they consist of two packages - loquendo_common_3rd.SIS and a Loquendo voice file. Please install the loquendo_common_3rd.SIS file first, and then one or more Loquendo voice files.
The order of installation is not important, so you can install the Mobile Speak package prior to installing the TTS or vice versa. You may install the packages to the phone memory, memory card, or (where available) hard disk of the phone, as long as sufficient free space is available.
There are several ways to transfer these files to the phone and install them. The choice of which method to use depends on the user. Keep in mind that some of these techniques may require sighted assistance, as several questions will be asked on the phone during the installation process. The possible choices include:
1. PC Suite: this is a free PC software package from Nokia, which comes with the phone or can be downloaded free of charge. The phone is connected to the PC using a USB cable, and you must connect the phone in “PC Suite” mode after connecting the USB cable. Please refer to the PC Suite reference manual for a full description of this software.
2. Bluetooth: a Bluetooth pairing must first be set up between the phone and the computer. Once paired, the installation packages can be transferred to the phone. They will be sent to the Inbox and the installation process will begin when the message is opened. Remember to delete each package from the Inbox after installation.
3. Web: by navigating on the phone’s Web browser to the Code Factory web site, the installation packages can be downloaded directly to the phone. Installation will be started automatically once the download is complete.
4. File transfer: you can also transfer the installation packages directly to the phone (e.g. by copying the files to the memory card using a card reader). Once this is done, use the phone’s File Manager to locate the installation package. By opening it, the installation process will start automatically. Remember to delete each package after installation.
After a successful installation, Mobile Speak will start automatically on most models. However, it is advisable that you restart the phone when installation is done. If Mobile Speak did not start automatically, please use the “Start Mobile Speak” shortcut to launch the application.
Mobile Speak comes integrated with Mobile Magnifier. By default, Mobile Speak is activated and Mobile Magnifier is deactivated the first time that the Mobile Speak package is installed. However, you can then customize the startup behavior of Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier by configuring the Auto Start Mobile Speak and Auto Start Magnifier options in the Configure Mobile Speak application.
To uninstall Code Factory products, use the Manager application, which in most phones is located in the Settings or Applications folder. The shortcut to this program is sometimes labeled “App Mgr”, “App Manager”, or “Application Manager”.
The Manager application will show a list with all the packages and applications installed in the system. Remove the Mobile Speak package first, and then any voices, games or tools. It is not necessary to first press “Stop Mobile Speak” before uninstalling.
After uninstalling the packages, Mobile Speak will have been cleared from your mobile phone. It is recommended that the phone be restarted after uninstalling Mobile Speak.
Note that on Symbian 3rd edition phones, it is also possible to uninstall Mobile Speak by pressing the Clear key on any of the Mobile Speak icons.
Mobile Speak provides access to the Nokia built-in TTS on all Nokia Symbian 9 phones. The standard voice is called "Nokia" and, on phones that support the Nokia High Quality TTS (i.e. Nokia E50, E51, E52, E55 E61i, E63, E65, E66, E71, E71x, E72, E75, E90 Communicator, N75, N78, N79, N81, N85, N86, N96, N97, 5320, 5500 Sport, 5530, 5630, 5700 XpressMusic, 5730, 6110 Navigator, 6120 classic, 6121, 6124, 6210, 6220, 6290, 6700 Slide, 6710, 6720, 6790 and X6 phones), another called "Nokia HQ" is also available. These Nokia voices are shipped with all Symbian 9 phones, and new Nokia HQ voices are also downloadable on supported phones from the Nokia web site at http://europe.nokia.com/A4286225. The Standard Quality TTS will automatically switch languages to match the phone language. The High Quality TTS can be configured to use a specific language and voice or modify the speed via the "Speech" application, which is usually located inside the phone’s Settings folder.
If you have a supported phone, you can download and install additional High Quality voices. To do this, visit the Nokia download page at http://europe.nokia.com/A4286225. For a given language, you must install the language package and at least one of the voices listed. However, most phones will come with the TTS of the default language already installed. After installing the new voice, you’ll see it listed inside the phone’s Speech application. Use the Speech application to manage the currently selected voice. The volume and speed will be controlled by Mobile Speak.
A FAQ regarding the Nokia built-in TTS can be accessed at http://www.codefactory.es/additional_docs/en/nokiaTTS_EN.html.
Updates to the Mobile Speak software are regularly made available at the Code Factory web site www.codefactory.es. Minor updates are usually free, while major updates may require purchase of an upgrade license, so check the release notes for each version to see whether this is required.
Users who are upgrading to v4.xx from v3.xx MUST first uninstall ALL Code Factory packages (TTS, Mobile Speak and any related tools) before installing v4 of Mobile Speak. This is extremely important, since failing to do so may prevent the products from working correctly, or may even cause phone instability. Check with your distributor, or refer to the “Uninstalling” section above, if you have any questions regarding how to remove packages from your phone.
Once all Code Factory packages have been uninstalled, restart the phone, and then you can proceed with a standard installation, as described in the “Installation” section above.
To make a phone call, you should first navigate to the Standby screen. You can switch between the Standby screen and the Main Menu by using the “Menu” key.
All numeric keys that are pressed in the Standby screen are interpreted as digits for the telephone number to be called. When all the digits of the phone number have been entered, press the Send key, or open the Options menu with the left soft key and select “Voice Call” to dial the entered phone number.
On Symbian devices you can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”. From the “Main Menu”, you can access all the applications on the phone, which are located either in the current “Main Menu” window itself or in subfolders.
By long pressing the “Menu Key”, you can display a list of currently running applications. You can browse this list by going up and down with the joystick key. With the center joystick key or with the left soft key, you can select the currently selected application. With the right soft key (“Cancel”), the list will be closed without selecting anything.
On Windows Mobile devices, the Start menu can be accessed by any of the following ways:
· Pressing Command Key + Long press #
· “Tap 1 Hold” on the touch screen
· Pressing the left soft key in the Home Screen on non-touch smartphones
You can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”.
Sending an SMS from the “Main Menu” Window
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 “To” 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 “To” field.
With the left soft key, 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 “To” field is filled. Selecting Send will send the text message to the recipient(s) listed in the “To” field.
· “Add recipient” - opens a list of Contacts, from which the recipient can be selected.
· “Exit” - exits the entire “Messaging” application.
Note that the Messaging application may also be assigned to either the left or right soft key, or as an active shortcut, in the phone’s standby/home screen.
In both Symbian and Windows Mobile, you can manage your list of email and phone contacts via the Contacts application. In both cases, the Contacts application can be found in the main phone menu, and may also be assigned to either the left or right soft key in the phone’s standby/home screen.
Once you have opened the Contacts application, you will be presented with a list of your current contacts. By selecting a contact, you can choose to make a voice call, send a message, or send an email, provided that you have stored all of the relevant information for each of these options. Depending on the operating system and the capabilities of the device, you may also have the option to make a video call, send the contact information via Bluetooth, record a voice dialing prompt, or any number of additional operations.
The Calendar application can be found on Symbian phones in either the “Main Menu” window or in the “Applications” subfolder, or on Windows Mobile phones it can be accessed using the Home/Today screen appointment option or from the Start menu > Calendar application.
The Calendar application opens with the “Month View” window, with the cursor on the current day. This current date is spoken at startup. With the joystick key, you can scroll through the days of the month and move to the previous or the next month.
You can change between “Month View” and “Week View“ on Symbian phones using the Options menu, while on Windows Mobile devices you can use the left soft key to change to the calendar view of you choice.
Creating a New Appointment
There are three ways to create a new appointment:
1. Press the left soft key to open the Options list and then select the “New Entry” option.
2. Press the left soft key 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 soft key (“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 soft key (“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.
There are various shortcut commands you can use to read text content. These commands help you navigate the text, by repeating certain parts of the text or spelling certain words. For most of these commands, Mobile Speak must be in “Reading Layout” mode.

Use Command + left soft key or, on touch screen devices, Tap 4 (Speak) and then double tap 2 to hear the battery and signal strength. On Windows Mobile devices, note that you will only hear the status of the items selected under Profile Configuration > Read Status window.
You can switch between the “Standby” and “Main Menu” windows by using the “Menu Key”.
When in the “Standby” window, on most devices you can lock the keypad of the phone by pressing the left soft key and subsequently the asterisk key (*). To unlock the keypad, repeat the same steps. Note that on some devices, the key combination may be different, e.g. left soft key + Function key; left soft key + right soft key. An alternative way to lock the phone is to press the Power key, scroll down 1 item to “Lock keypad” and press joystick enter. Note that some phones may have a special sliding key (generally located on the side or on the top of the phone) that will lock/unlock the keypad and/or touch display.
The Mobile Speak Control Panel (called “Configure Mobile Speak” in Symbian) can be accessed at any time by using any of the following:
· Pressing the Command key + right soft key
· Tap 2 (Settings) and double tap 3 on touch screen 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 Configure Mobile Speak application can be accessed by navigating to the “Code Factory” folder in the main menu, and opening the Configure Mobile Speak application.
Activating stylus mode allows you to use the touch screen normally, bypassing all of the Mobile Speak touch commands. This may be useful when the device will be used by a sighted person who might otherwise have difficulty navigating using the touch commands.
To activate stylus mode on Symbian phones, double tap and hold anywhere in the screen while in the default layout. 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 (double tap and hold) to turn off stylus mode.
To mute Mobile Speak, press Command Key + 0 or, on touch screen devices, use Tap 2 (Settings Layout) and then use Tap 1.
To resume speech or un-mute, use Command Key + 0 or, on touch screen devices, triple tap.
To stop Mobile Speak:
1. Navigate to the “Main Menu”.
2. Navigate to the “Code Factory” folder in the Main Menu using the joystick.
3. Press the center joystick to open the “Code Factory” folder.
In the “Code Factory” folder, there are various options which may include:
· 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.
Mobile Speak 4 comes with a new licensing system which offers many benefits and allows maximum flexibility. Users can choose between two licensing methods, one based on your telephone number (known as phone-number-based licensing), and one based upon a unique identifier for your device (known as device-based licensing).
A detailed description of each of these licensing methods is available on our web page at http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=309.
After installing Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier, you can activate the products or obtain a trial license through the Activation Manager. On Symbian devices, the Activation Manager is launched when entering Configure Mobile Speak > Options > Product Activation. On Windows Mobile devices, first launch the MS Control Panel using the "Mobile Speak" shortcut found in the Today Screen or in the Start menu. Once opened, navigate to "Activation Page".
Before attempting to activate the product, please make sure that your phone has service and is not in offline or flight mode, and that the date and time are set correctly.
The Activation Manager will communicate with the Code Factory licensing server using your preferred method of connection:
· Via the Internet using your device's connection with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
· Via the Internet using your mobile phone's Internet service. Please consult your mobile phone provider about configurations on how to get this to work, as well as any charges for using the service.
· On Windows Mobile devices, via the Internet using an ActiveSync partnership between your device and a PC with an existing Internet connection.
· Via SMS/text message. Please consult your mobile phone provider regarding charges for sending and receiving SMS from international numbers. Refer also to our list of mobile phone networks confirmed to work with SMS activations.
Getting a trial license is very straightforward in Mobile Speak, and does not require any help from your distributor.
1. Enter the Activation Manager.
Upon entering the Activation Manager on a Symbian device, you will be asked to select your preferred method of connection (SMS or Internet). On a Windows Mobile device, this option is presented later in the activation process. After entering the Activation Manager, some informational prompts will be displayed, warning of possible SMS or Internet charges involved in the activation process.
2. Select “No” when asked if you are a registered user of Code Factory products.
An activation request for a trial license will be sent to the Code Factory server. The request will be done for all Code Factory products installed on the device at the time of activation. Depending on the connection speed, this process may take some minutes. The activation process will then complete and an appropriate information message will be displayed. After completing the activation, the license status for all products will be displayed on the screen on Windows Mobile devices, or on Symbian devices it can be found in Configure Mobile Speak > Options > About.
If additional voices or Code Factory products are installed on the device at a later time and you wish to obtain a trial license for them, it may be necessary to repeat the trial activation process in order to obtain the trial license. Check the license status first if you are unsure.
Trial licenses are time and date sensitive. Therefore, changing the time or date on your phone may cause a trial license to expire. If this occurs, simply set the correct time and date and repeat the trial activation process and any remaining days of the trial will be reactivated.
The process for activating a trial license is very similar to that of obtaining a trial license. After purchasing a full license for your product, enter the Activation Manager, select your preferred method of connection and respond to any informational prompts. Answer “Yes” when asked if you are a registered user of Code Factory products. If connecting via the internet, you will be prompted to enter your phone number if you are registering a product with a phone-number-based license (please leave this field blank if you have a device-based license). Press “OK” (or “Yes”) to send the activation request to the Code Factory server. Once completed, check the license status of all Code Factory products to confirm that the activation has been successful.
When activating a full license, a trial license will also be generated for any other installed products that had not previously been trialed and for which you have not yet purchased a license.
If at a later time you decide to install additional Code Factory products, or you re-install existing products, you may be required to repeat the activation process.
The Keyboard Help Mode familiarizes you with the keyboard layout as well as with Mobile Speak’s commands. In this mode, you can explore all the commands without actually performing them.
To turn on Keyboard Help Mode, press the Command Key and then press and hold the 5 key for 1 second. Mobile Speak will say "Help Mode On". You can now press any key to learn about the keyboard layout or perform a touch gesture. To learn about the Mobile Speak commands, press Command and then a short or long press of a key. Mobile Speak will provide a short description of the command assigned to that keystroke. To turn off Keyboard Help Mode, press the Command Key and hold the 5 key for 1 second again. Mobile Speak will say "Help Mode Off". Help mode will also turn off automatically if no input is received during 10 seconds.
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. On non-touch screen devices, by default the Default layout is active and you can use the Default layout commands without activating any other layout such as Magnification or Settings.
Go To** Allows you to navigate to various parts of the phone interface, such as the left and right soft keys, the main phone menu, the Mobile Speak configuration utility, and so on.
Speak** Offers commands to speak information about the phone and the current application, as well as spelling and repeating spoken text.
Settings** Allows you to change the most frequently-used Mobile Speak settings, such as volume and speed of speech output, without going to the Mobile Speak configuration utility.
Advanced Reading Provides commands for text navigation, allowing you to navigate by character, word, line, paragraph, etc. On Windows Mobile touch screen devices, the Advanced Reading commands can also be activated by using tap 4 (Speak layout) followed by tap 4 and hold.
Magnification Includes the most commonly-used commands for controlling Mobile Magnifier. On Windows Mobile touch screen devices, when Magnification is enabled, tap 3 will activate the Magnification Settings Layout instead of the normal Settings layout.
**In Mobile Speak for Symbian, these layouts are only available through touch screen commands.
In Windows Mobile, there are two additional layouts which are used only in specific applications:
Internet Explorer Commands used for navigating web content within Internet Explorer.
Windows Media Player Includes commands for controlling media playback.
In addition to the layouts listed above, there are also two special command modes which are available on touch screen devices: virtual keyboard mode and review cursor mode. While these are not command layouts per se, they do modify the behavior of the touch screen when active. Please consult the relevant sections of this manual for each mode for more information.
A list of all Keyboard and Touch commands is found in Appendix A.
Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier are unique because of the flexibility they offer you in customizing your mobile access solution. With more than 60 user-configurable options for speech, Braille and magnification, you can have an accessible phone best suited to your needs and preferences.
To configure Mobile Speak and/or Mobile Magnifier, navigate to the “Code Factory” folder. Press the center joystick key to enter the “Code Factory” folder.
In the “Code Factory” folder, there are various Mobile Speak options which may include:
· Stop Mobile Speak
· Configure Mobile Speak
· Stop Mobile Magnifier
· Start Mobile Magnifier
· Start Mobile Speak
Select “Configure Mobile Speak” and press the center joystick key to select the Mobile Speak configuration application.
Mobile Speak organizes configuration settings into groups called MS Profiles, allowing you to switch between different profiles as you need them. For example, you could configure one MS Profile to use a certain voice, speed, and level of verbosity for reading long passages of text, instead of your preferred configuration for normal use of the phone. All of the Mobile Speak settings are included in each MS Profile, making it easy to customize them to your specific needs in different situations.
In the initial screen of the Mobile Speak configuration panel, you will see the three MS Profiles, named by default as Normal, Beginner, and Advanced. Additionally, you can define your own personal MS Profiles. One of these MS Profiles is always marked as Active, which means that its settings are currently in use. The word “Active” will be spoken after the name of the currently active MS Profile.
For each MS Profile, you have the option to activate or customize it. By selecting the Customize option, you will be presented with various tabs, each of which contains a different set of configuration options, as discussed in the next sections of this chapter.
Each MS Profile is divided into 6 groups of settings: Speech, Reading, General, Verbosity, Braille, and Magnifier (on supported phones). To switch between the different groups, use the joystick left and right keys. The options that also have associated “Command key” shortcuts are described in the “Overview of Command Key shortcuts” section.
Note that any changes that you make to the configuration settings will only take effect once you exit the MS Profile that you are currently customizing or when you switch to a different setting group using the joystick left or right key.
Important: Do not change settings (e.g. Volume, Verbosity) using “Command Key” shortcuts while the Configure Mobile Speak application is running. These changes will be overridden when you exit the Configure Mobile Speak application.
The following is a list of the Speech configuration options:
· Change the voice, if you have installed several voices.
· Change Volume from 1 to 10.
· Change Speed from -10 to 10.
· Change Spelling Speed from -10 to 10.
· Change Pitch from -10 to 10.
· Change the Voice on call.
· Change the Volume on call.
· Toggle the “Silent on calls” option.
· Toggle the “Mute on Keypad lock” option.
· Toggle the “Silent while dialing” option.
· Change the Audio Profile.
· Change the Speech delay (seconds).
· Reduce minimum volume.
· Increase maximum volume.
Voice
Many different voices can be installed on the same phone, and the user is able to switch between them. All installed voices appear in the selection list, however if you choose one that is not activated, it will expire after 10 minutes. In the case of Loquendo and Acapela, if you install more than three voices, only three will be shown in the list, and you have to uninstall one of these three before you can use a different one. By selecting the voice “none”, no speech will be heard when this profile is active.
Volume
This option increases or decreases the volume of the speech output (1 to 10). It does not affect the volume of system sounds or the audio during a call. It also has a related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + joystick key up, “Command Key” + joystick key down, in default and reading layouts). See the Section with the overview of Command Shortcuts for a further description. The default level is 5 for all MS Profiles.
Speed
This option increases or decreases the speed of the speech output (-10 to 10). It also has a related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + joystick key left, “Command Key” + joystick key right, in default and reading layouts). See the Section with the overview of Command Shortcuts for a further description. Default is 0 for the Normal MS Profile, 0 for the Beginner MS Profile, and 5 for the Advanced MS Profile. Note that the speed of the NokiaHQ voice is controlled from within the phone’s “Speech” application. For the Nokia voices, the speed is not configurable.
Change Spelling Speed
This option increases or decreases the speed of the speech output (-10 to 10) when spelling a word with the spelling commands (e.g. “Command Key” + 8, in the default layout mode). The default level is 0 for the Normal and Beginner MS Profiles and 5 for the Advanced MS Profile.
Pitch
This option increases or decreases the pitch of speech output (-10 to 10). Default level is 0 for all MS Profiles. This default is already the recommended pitch for each voice. Note that the pitch settings have no effect when using the Loquendo, Acapela HQ, Nokia or Nokia HQ voices.
Voice on Call
This option allows the user to choose either the Nokia or (if available) the Nokia HQ TTS as the active voice while on a call. Note that in Samsung phones, it is not currently possible to hear speech output while on a call.
Volume on Call
This option increases or decreases the volume of speech output of Mobile Speak during a call (1 to 10). Default level is 8 for all MS Profiles.
The “Silent on Calls” feature instructs Mobile Speak not to provide speech output while the user is on a call. If this option is off, then Mobile Speak works normally during a call and the user can navigate through the phone to, for example, check the calendar or the contacts list. Default setting is OFF for all MS Profiles.
Mute On Keypad Lock
The “Mute on Keypad Lock” setting affects the operation of Mobile Speak when the keypad is locked. When set to ON, Mobile Speak will be automatically muted when the keypad is locked. Speech output will be enabled automatically when the keypad is unlocked. Default setting is OFF for all MS Profiles.
Silent While Dialing
For more privacy, enabling this option lets the user dial numbers without speech feedback announcing each number pressed. Default is OFF for all MS Profiles.
Change the Audio Profile
Select the Normal audio profile when using Mobile Speak with speech routed through the phone’s speaker. Select the Ear phone audio profile when using a headset or ear phone. Default setting is Normal for all MS Profiles.
Change the Speech delay (seconds)
This allows the user to specify a delay (in seconds) which is added when speaking. This can be useful inside some applications where Mobile Speak reacts faster than the screen is updated. The additional delay will ensure that the correct item is spoken. Default setting is “Default” for all MS Profiles.
Reduce minimum volume
With this setting, one can set the percentage with which the volume is reduced at low volume levels (1-3). Possible values range from 12.5% to 100%. The default value is 100% (i.e. no reduction).
Increase maximum volume
With this setting, one can set the percentage with which the volume is increased at high volume levels (8-10). Possible values range from 100% to 400%. The default value is 100% (i.e. no increase).
The following is a list of the Reading configuration options:
· Change the Keyboard Echo settings.
· Change the Punctuation settings.
· Change the Secret Editor Mode.
· Toggle the Phonetic Spelling mode on/off.
· Toggle the Case Indicator.
· Toggle “Speak Deleted Characters”.
· Change the Number Processing settings.
· Change the Minimum number of processing digits
· Toggle the User Dictionary on/off.
Keyboard Echo
This setting specifies whether characters and words are spoken while entering text. There are four options:
- None: No speech feedback is provided while entering text.
- Characters: As the text is being typed, each character is spoken.
- Words: As the text is being typed, characters are not spoken, however as soon as a space character is inserted, the preceding word is spoken.
- Characters and words: Both characters and words are spoken while entering text.
It also has a related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + 9 in default layout, “Command Key” + Long press 9, in reading layout). See the Section with the overview of Command Shortcuts for a further description. Default setting is “Characters and Words” for all MS Profiles.
Punctuation
This option changes the punctuation setting (None / Some / All). It also has a related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + 7 in default layout, “Command Key” + Long press 7 in reading layout). The default level is “Some” for all MS Profiles. See the Command Shortcuts section for more information.
Secret Editor Mode
This setting controls the type of speech output when entering characters in a secret editor (e.g., the PIN code screen and password edit fields). When this option is set to “Asterisk”, the “*” character will be spoken each time a key is entered. When set to “Character”, the entered character is spoken. When set to “None”, there is no speech feedback while typing. It also has a related shortcut “Command Key” combination (“Command Key” + Long press * in all layouts).Default setting is “Asterisk” for all MS Profiles.
Phonetic Spelling Mode
The phonetic spelling mode controls the spelling of letters (for example, after pressing “Command Key” + 8 in the default layout mode). Instead of spelling the letters by their names, they are spelled by means of the international radiotelephony phonetic alphabet (e.g., “a” is spelled “alpha”, “b” is spelled “bravo”, “c” is “charlie”, etc.). In general, vowels with accents will be interpreted as standard vowels. Nevertheless, in some special cases (e.g., Scandinavian vowels like Æ, Å, the Spanish consonant ñ, the Czech letters with carons like ŭ or č) the characters are not spelled phonetically but just by their names. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS profile.
Case Indicator
The “Case Indicator” setting changes the way capital letters are spoken in text editors (such as SMS, email, and help). When set to ON, the case of the character will be spoken when entering text with keyboard echo set to “Characters” or “Characters and Words”, when navigating text by character, and when spelling the current word (“Command key” + long press 6 or “Command Key” + long press #). The word "Caps" will be spoken immediately before the character if it is in uppercase. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile, “OFF” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “ON” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Speak Deleted Characters
When the Speak Deleted Characters option is set to “ON”, if you erase text in an editor, the deleted character(s) will be spoken. If verbosity level is set to High, it will also say "Deleted" followed by the character(s) that were deleted. Default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Number Processing
This option controls the way that numbers are spoken by the TTS, and is applied to all numbers in all applications. Numbers containing less than the number of digits specified in “Minimum Number of Processing Digits” are sent directly to the TTS. However, numbers longer than this are processed according to the “Number Processing” setting. Available options are Single, Pairs, Triples, or TTS. The “Single”, “Pairs”, and “Triples” settings speak numbers in groups of one, two, and three digits respectively. The “TTS” option sends the number directly to the text-to-speech engine, which will speak the numbers according to its own rules. The Default setting is Single for all MS Profiles.
Change the Minimum Number of Processing Digits
This setting reflects the minimum number of digits that a number must have before the current Number Processing option is applied. The default value is 5 for all MS Profiles.
Toggle the User Dictionary On and Off
With this setting, the user can switch the user dictionary on or off. This is identical to the “Command Key” shortcut when pressing “Command Key” + 4, in the default layout mode. For more information about the User Dictionary, see the end of this section. The default value is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
Below is a list of the General Settings:
· Change the Profile Name.
· Toggle the “Auto Start Mobile Speak” option.
· Toggle the “Power saving” mode.
· Toggle the “Welcome sound” mode.
· Toggle the “Allow shortcuts when muted” mode.
Profile Name
Each MS Profile can be renamed according to your preference. For example, to help you remember which profile contains the settings you use when reading text messages, documents or web pages, rename that profile to “Reading” and this will be spoken when you use the associated command key to switch to a profile. Entering a new name here will change the name presented in the initial screen of the Mobile Speak configuration panel. Default names are Normal, Beginner, and Advanced.
Auto Start Mobile Speak
This option controls whether Mobile Speak will be launched when the phone starts. Note that if Mobile Speak is not loaded when the phone is restarted, you may need sighted assistance to navigate to the “Start Mobile Speak” shortcut, unless you have an assigned shortcut in the Standby Screen. Default setting is ON for all MS Profiles.
Power Saving
When this option is enabled, the backlight on the phone is turned off. This helps significantly in reducing the power consumption of the phone. Default setting is “OFF” for all MS Profiles.
Welcome Sound
The Welcome Sound setting can be used to activate and deactivate the sound and the animation displayed when Mobile Speak is launched. Default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
Allow Shortcuts when Muted
When this option is set to “ON”, Command shortcuts (such as “Command Key” + 1, in default or magnification layout mode, to tell the date and time) will be performed even when the keypad is locked. If the setting is “OFF”, you must first unlock the keypad before using any of these commands. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile, “OFF” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “ON” for the Advanced MS Profile.

List Numbers
This determines whether the index number of an item and the total number of items will be spoken in a list display, such as the list mode of the main phone menu (for example, “Tools, 5 of 17”). Default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
This determines whether the index number of the tab and the total number of tabs will be spoken in a tabbed dialog (for example, “Speech, 1 of 6”). Default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
This determines whether the index number of the icon and the total number of icons will be spoken in a grid display, such as the default mode of the main phone menu (for example, “Tools, 5 of 17”). Default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
This determines whether the functions assigned to the left and right softkeys (and also the Enter key, on 9.3 devices) are spoken (for example, “Button 1 select, button 2 exit, button 3 open”). Default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
This determines whether to announce the change from upper-case to lower-case mode when the text input mode is set to “auto-case” (auto-case mode is indicated on the display with the icon “Abc”, and automatically capitalizes the first letter of each sentence while entering text, then switches back to lowercase input for the rest of the sentence). The default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
This determines whether to speak “deleted” when a character is deleted with the Clear key. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
When this option is enabled, Mobile Speak always speaks the battery and signal level when reading the contents of the Standby Screen. The default setting is “ON" for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and OFF for the Advanced MS Profile.
When this option is enabled, Mobile Speak gives detailed information about battery and signal levels. For example, “battery level is 3 bars, signal level is 4 bars” as opposed to the less verbose “battery 3, signal 4”. The default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
When this option is enabled, Mobile Speak will say “Submenu” when a menu item has sub-item(s). Note that a submenu is opened or closed by pressing the joystick to the right or left respectively. The default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
When this option is enabled, Mobile Speak will say “Window” when announcing the title of a screen. For example, “messaging window” vs. “messaging”. The default setting is ON for the Normal MS Profile, ON for the Beginner MS Profile, and OFF for the Advanced MS Profile.
Announce Unread Messages
When enabled, this option announces the presence of unread messages in the Inbox (e.g. “Inbox, unread messages”) when navigating through the messaging folder list, as well as indicating which messages in the Inbox are unread while scrolling through the message list. Default setting is ON for all MS profiles.
Key Feedback
When this option is enabled, additional feedback is given when pressing either of the softkeys, the joystick enter key, or the menu key. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Speak Marked at Start
This option allows the user to choose whether to speak "marked" at the start or at the end of any marked list or grid items. Default setting is ON for all MS profiles.
Below is a list of the Braille settings:
· Set Input Braille table.
· Set Output Braille table.
· Toggle “Show Control type” on/off.
· Toggle “Braille Cursor” on/off.
· Toggle “Auto turn off Bluetooth” on/off.
· Toggle “Control summary” on/off.
· Toggle “Input full pan” on/off.
· Toggle “Cursor blinking” on/off.
· Toggle “Suppress Capital Sign” on/off.
· Toggle “Reconnect at startup” on/off.
These options set a Braille translation table to use for Braille input and output. There is a different table for each Braille grade and language. This table will be used when displaying text on the refreshable Braille line, or when entering text using the Braille keyboard. Beginning with Mobile Speak 3.0, you may select separate tables for input and output. For example, you may choose to enter text in US English grade 2 Braille, but have the output displayed in Spanish computer Braille. By default, 8-dot computer Braille tables are selected for both input and output in all MS profiles.
When enabled, this option includes a short abbreviation before each text sent to the device, indicating the type of control being displayed. The Braille control type abbreviations vary according to the currently-selected language. With an English TTS, for example, ed is used to indicate that the control in focus is an editor. With a Norwegian TTS, on the other hand, sf (as in “skrivefelt” to refer to an editor) is used instead. The default setting is “ON” for all MS profiles.
In addition to the normal screen navigation mode, Mobile Speak has a “Braille cursor” mode, allowing you to view the contents of the screen in Braille, whether or not they are selectable using the system cursor of the phone, and to explore the screen without moving focus to another part or item. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
When this option is enabled, the Bluetooth capabilities of the phone will be automatically switched off when the Braille device is disconnected manually, either by terminating the connection between the mobile phone and Braille device, or by turning off the Braille device. This provides a higher level of security, and conserves battery power. Note that Bluetooth is automatically switched on when the connection between devices is established again. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
This option, when used in conjunction with the Braille Cursor mode, adds an extra line for each editable control, selection list or grid, providing additional information about the location of the system focus within the control, as well as the number of lines and items in the control. For example, if system focus is on the second of four lines in an editor, the control summary displayed in Braille Cursor Mode will inform you - through a concise format suitable for short Braille displays - that the control is an editor with four lines and that focus is currently on line 2. The same applies to lists and grids, except that instead of lines, control summary provides details on the number of items and on which item is currently in focus. The default setting is “ON” for all MS profiles.
This option controls the scrolling behavior of the Braille line when the end of the line is reached while entering or editing text. If it is set to “ON”, the display will be scrolled by the entire width of the line such that the next character entered is shown in the first cell of a new Braille line. This setting is the default as most Braille users do not need to monitor the Braille display while typing. However, if it is set to OFF, the display will be scrolled by one character at a time so that the next character is shown near the end of the current Braille line. This setting is recommended if you want to keep track of what you have typed so far without relying on speech feedback.
When this option is set to “ON”, the current position of the cursor within the text will be indicated on the Braille device via a flashing tactile cursor (dots 7 and 8 that go up and then retract every half-second). The blinking stops when the Braille device or mobile phone is not touched for 30 seconds. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
Enabling this option prevents the Braille output from indicating upper-case (“capital”) letters in Grade 1 or Grade 2 Braille by placing a dot 6 before the uppercase character. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS profiles.
When this option is enabled, Mobile Speak will automatically attempt to reconnect to the last-connected Braille device when the phone is restarted. The default setting is “OFF”.
Below is a list of the Magnifier settings:
· Change Zoom level.
· Toggle “Auto Start Magnifier” on/off.

Nine choices are available, ranging from 1x to 16x. The default setting is 2x for all MS Profiles.
If this option is enabled, Mobile Magnifier will load automatically at phone startup. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS Profiles.
Mobile Magnifier provides three different ways to magnify the screen:
· Full screen view (default layout for all MS Profiles): the contents of the entire screen are magnified.
· Distributed view: screen text is magnified in the center using the selected zoom level, while the window title at the top as well as current left and right softkeys at the bottom are displayed using a secondary magnification setting.
· Classic view: the bottom half of the screen shows what is in the unmagnified top half, but using a different magnification level.

Auto Zoom can be turned on or off. When turned on, the Magnification Level will automatically adjust to the amount of screen contents and may therefore change. Users who prefer to have a fixed zoom level should turn this feature OFF. The default setting is “OFF” for all MS Profiles.
When this option is enabled, if a high level of magnification is used and text does not fit the screen, Mobile Magnifier will automatically scroll to let you read the entire text without pressing any key. The default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
This option controls the rate at which Mobile Magnifier automatically pans the text when the “Scrolling” feature is enabled. There are 10 different scrolling speeds to choose from. Default setting is 3 for the Normal MS Profile, 1 for the Beginner MS Profile, and 5 for the Advanced MS Profile.
Mobile Magnifier can draw a border outside the magnification area. The default setting is “OFF” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
The width of the border can be customized to your preference. The default setting is “Small” for the Normal MS Profile, “Large” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “Small” for the Advanced MS Profile.
The color of the border can be customized according to your preference (White / Red / Green / Black / Yellow / Blue). The default setting is “Red” for all MS Profiles.
Mobile Magnifier is the first solution for the Symbian platform to offer this very important feature for the visually impaired. Enabling this option smoothes the corners, curves and edges of the magnified screen contents to make them appear less jagged when enlarged and thus easier to read, even for extended lengths of time.
Here is an example:

The default setting is “ON” for the Normal and Beginner MS Profiles, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
Mobile Magnifier has 7 different color schemes: Normal, Black and White, Grayscale (low resolution), Grayscale (high resolution), Color (low resolution), Color (high resolution), and Inverse Colors – meeting the needs of all users with varying degrees of vision impairment. The default setting is “Normal” for all MS Profiles.
When enabled, the Enhanced Color Scheme option will load a theme which has been specially designed to improve visibility of text. This theme is loaded into all applications, providing better readability of text. The default setting is “OFF” for all profiles.
Enabling this feature gives you access to the following information screens:
Pressing the left soft key for half a second, the screen will show an icon indicating the battery level, network status and current time – all displayed with large icons and fonts.
Pressing the right soft key for half a second, the screen will show icons indicating if there are missed calls, unread messages and the date with large numbers.
You can enable or disable this feature using the “Status Shortcuts” setting. The default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
This is the secondary magnification level used for the title and soft key areas of the Distributed Views layout type. Default setting is 2x for all MS profiles.
You can replace the default system cursor with your own customized text cursor - change its width and color, and turn blinking on or off. You can enable or disable this feature using the Text Cursor setting. The default setting is “ON” for all MS Profiles.
You can customize the color of the text cursor (White / Red / Green / Black / Yellow / Blue). The default setting is “Red” for all MS Profiles.
You can customize the size of the text cursor (Small, Medium, or Large). The default setting is “Large” for the Normal MS Profile, “Large” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “Small” for the Advanced MS Profile.
You can control the blinking of the text cursor with this setting (ON or OFF). The default setting is “ON” for the Normal MS Profile, “ON” for the Beginner MS Profile, and “OFF” for the Advanced MS Profile.
When the left soft key is pressed inside the Configure Mobile Speak application, a number of options appear. The list of all possible options is shown below. Note that some of the options only appear when the left soft key is pressed when configuring an MS Profile, while others only appear when you are viewing the list of all MS Profiles.
This option is available when configuring a particular MS Profile setting. A new screen appears where you can change the currently highlighted item. Note that for items that only allow ON/OFF settings, pressing “Change” will toggle the setting instead of opening a new screen.
This option is available when configuring a particular MS Profile setting. It applies the setting of the currently highlighted item to all MS Profiles. For example, if the currently highlighted item is Volume and it is set to 4, then by pressing “Apply to All Profiles”, all MS Profiles will be set to have a volume of 4. Note that the only exception to this is the Profile Name setting. Pressing “Apply to All Profiles” has no effect on this setting, because it is confusing to have two profiles with the same name.
This option is available when viewing the list of all MS Profiles (either by pressing the left soft key or by pressing joystick enter). The MS Profile that is currently selected will be set as the active profile.
This option is available when viewing the list of all MS Profiles (either by pressing the left soft key or by pressing joystick enter). The configurations of the MS Profile that is currently selected will be opened, so that they can be viewed and modified.
This option is available when viewing the list of all MS Profiles. A new MS Profile will be created and added to the end of the MS Profile list. You will first be prompted to enter the name of the new profile. Apart from the name, this new profile’s settings will be identical to those of the currently selected profile.
This option is available when viewing the list of all MS Profiles. The currently selected profile will be deleted. You will first be prompted to confirm that you wish to delete the profile. Note that it is not possible to delete the profile that is currently active.
This option is available when viewing the list of all MS Profiles (either by pressing the left soft key or by pressing joystick enter). It allows you to assign the currently selected MS Profile to one or more of the applications (both built-in and 3rd-party) which are installed on your phone. When this option is selected, a list of all available applications on your phone will be listed alphabetically. Scroll through the list, marking any application which you would like to assign to the currently selected MS Profile by pressing joystick enter. After selecting an application, note that it will say “marked” when you scroll through that item once more. Note that since an application can only be assigned to 1 MS Profile at a time, if you attempt to assign an application that has previously been assigned to a different MS Profile, you will be prompted for confirmation of this when saving the information (if you agree, then the old application assignment will be removed and the new one will be used instead). This is a very powerful feature of Mobile Speak, as it provides a convenient way to customize the way Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier work within particular applications.
This option will activate all installed Code Factory products (both trial and full licenses) by SMS. If no activation is performed, Mobile Speak or Mobile Magnifier will only work for 10 minutes. Please refer to the chapter on Licensing for more information about activating your Code Factory products.

The “Command Key 1” submenu item of the Command Key item allows you to configure which key acts as the Mobile Speak Command Key, in order to access all the Command Key shortcuts in Mobile Speak.
The following list of possible keys is displayed:
· Default
· Menu key
· Send key
· Power key
· Multimedia key
· Edit key
· Gallery key
· Camera key
· Chr key (i.e. the key which will pop up the Symbol Table, which is available on many QWERTY phones)
· Calendar key
· Email key
· Contacts key
· None
As this is a checkbox list, you must scroll up or down to the selected key and press the joystick enter in order to mark a key. After marking the desired key, press OK. If you simply scroll to a key and press OK without pressing Enter, the key will not be marked and the selection will not change.
The “Default” key is the edit key on devices where the edit key is available. If the device does not have an edit key, another appropriate key will be used as the “Default” Command key. The following list shows the “Default” Command key for each supported device.
· Edit key: 3250, 5500, E50, E60, E65, E70, N71, N73, N75, N76, N77, N80, N91, N92, N93, N93i, N95, N95 8GB, Samsung L870

· Music / Radio key: Samsung i550, Samsung i7110, Samsung G810
· Gallery key: Samsung i8510 INNOV8
Note that not all of the keys shown in the Command Key list are available on all devices, so make sure to select an appropriate key for your particular device. If a key that is not available is selected as the Command Key, it has the same effect as if “None” were selected.
The initial setting for Command Key 1 is “Default”.
Mobile Speak allows a second Command Key to be configured. This can be particularly useful in the case of flip or slider phones like the E75 or E90, where it may be convenient to have different Command keys with the keyboard closed or opened. The list of keys that can be selected and the general usage is identical to that of Command Key 1 – please see the previous subsection for a full description.
The initial setting for Command Key 2 is “None”.
With this setting, the user can set the maximum time between pressing the “Command Key” and the subsequently pressed key to be still regarded as a Mobile Speak command. The default value is 3 seconds.
User Dictionary
Please refer to the "User Dictionary" section below for more information on this feature.
The “Configure Devices” submenu item of the Braille menu opens the Braille device manager, which presents a list of the currently paired Braille devices. You can add additional devices to this list, delete a device, view information about a device, or connect to the currently selected device.
To add a Braille device to the list:
1. Select “Add new device” from the Options menu opened with the left soft key.
Mobile Speak will present you with a list of supported devices.
2. Select your device from the list.
The Device Manager will perform a Bluetooth search to establish a connection. Once the device has been configured, you may connect and disconnect it by selecting “Connect” from the options menu, or by using the Command + Dial key shortcut. Note that you can add more than one Braille device in the Device Manager, so switching between Braille devices is possible.
To delete, show information, or connect to a device, select the corresponding entry from the device manager list, and select the appropriate command from the Options menu.
This submenu item of the Braille menu performs the same function as the Command + Dial key combination. It will either connect to the currently configured Braille device (if not connection is currently active), or disconnect from the device if a connection is active. If no Braille device has been configured, an appropriate information message is displayed.
This option will have a different function depending upon where focus is when it is selected. If it is pressed while customizing an MS Profile, then all the settings for the MS Profile being customized will be restored to their defaults. However, if this option is pressed from the initial screen of the Mobile Speak configuration panel (i.e. the screen with the list of MS Profiles displayed), then all of Mobile Speak’s factory default settings will be restored. In both cases, the user will be prompted to confirm in order to proceed.
A description of the shortcut to enter keyboard training mode is provided in the Help menu.
The date and version of Mobile Speak, copyright information, as well as the status of licenses (for every Code Factory product installed on the phone), the SIM status (if it is a trial or a phone-number based license and the original SIM is not in place) and the Device Serial Number (SN) will be spoken.
Mobile Speak supports voices from several different text-to-speech technology providers, including Acapela, Fonix, and Loquendo. You can install as many voices for as many languages as you want, provided there is enough space on your device's memory or storage card to accommodate the TTS files. It is strongly advised that you always install TTS voices to the storage card in order to have as much free space in the device's main memory for running programs and storing data that cannot be moved to the storage card.
For each TTS voice installed, you can configure different parameters including the rate of speaking, pitch and volume, as well as a user dictionary for pronunciations that will be used if that voice is selected. For more information about configuring these and other parameters, please see “Configure Mobile Speak” in this manual.
An important new feature in Mobile Speak 4 is the ability to use up to three languages from a given TTS provider with only a single license. In other words, if you purchase a license for Mobile Speak with the Acapela TTS, you can use up to three Acapela voices for the price of one. This can be useful if you prefer different voices for different types of applications, or if you would like to install voices in different languages and always have them available. You can also uninstall a given voice and install a different one from the same TTS provider as often as you like without obtaining a new license.
If you would like to install more than three voices from a specific TTS provider, additional licenses can be purchased. Please contact your distributor for more information.
Mobile Speak 4 allows you to completely control your device using the touch
screen only. You can, of course, combine touch gestures and key commands in
order to obtain the best experience using your device depending on its design
and hardware features. It is always up to you to use touch gestures, keyboard
shortcuts, or both.
The first item of the Today Screen just after installing Mobile Speak 4 is the Touch Test Drive, a training tool which asks you what you want to do:
1. Touch Screen Explorer mode (Long tap): tap and hold the screen and you will keep hearing beep sounds as you move your finger. If you do not hear a beep, you are not on the touch screen anymore. Mobile Speak is also telling you which virtual quadrant your finger is in (e.g. 1, 2, 3, or 4). Triple tap to exit.
2. Gesture mode (Simple tap): familiarize yourself with the main touch gestures before you start using your device. Triple tap to exit.
Note: Depending on the device it can be difficult to know where the screen starts or ends. Therefore you can tap on the corner and not receive any feedback if you are not touching the touch screen anymore because you are on the edge of the device. The Touch Screen Explorer mode of the Touch Test Drive should help you know where your touch screen starts and ends. Another trick is to count less than two fingers from the edge of the device to be sure to be on the screen.
Remember that when you are doing the slides, you need not keep your finger on the vertical or horizontal axis of the display. You don’t need to slide perfectly straight up, down, left or right because there is a 30 degree margin but try always to keep the slide in the desired axis.
You can move around and select items using the touch screen in the same way as you do with the arrows and Enter key. You can perform these actions with the following gestures:
· Double tap (anywhere on the screen): Simulates the Enter key on the element in focus.
· Slide up/down/left/right: Simulate arrow keys. To perform a slide just touch the screen and slide your finger over it in the desired direction, then release the screen. Touch movements should cover a distance of about 30% of the screen length or greater, but do not need to span the entire width or height of the display. Slides should also be performed around the center of the screen, since many phones have a non-touch-sensitive area around the edges of the device. Note also that you do not need to slide very fast; it should take approximately 1 second to slide the whole screen width or height.
The touch screen has been divided into 4 virtual keys named 1 to 4 clockwise and starting on the upper-left corner on the screen. This will sound familiar to users of previous versions of Mobile Speak Pocket. Imagine that you have 4 keys on the touch screen, and if you press the upper left corner area you are pressing the virtual key 1. The upper right part of the touch screen is the virtual key 2, virtual key 3 is placed near the bottom right corner and, the bottom left part of the touch screen corresponds to the virtual key 4.
For example, tap 1 and hold will show you the Start Menu/Main Menu of the device, tap 2 and hold closes the application you are in, and tap 3 and hold toggles the new Privacy Mode (Windows Mobile Only).
Some commands have been grouped in order to give you intuitive access to them. This way you have 3 secondary command groups named "Speak", "Go-to", and "Settings" command layouts.
As its name indicates, the Speak command layout contains commands which will make Mobile Speak give information to you (read date and time, read device status, repeat last spoken text) and reading commands.
The Go-to layout allows you to launch applications, press the soft-keys, move to previous or next control, launch special tools like the touch keyboard or the application switcher, etc.
The Settings layout allows you to configure Mobile Speak, mute, speech rate, volume, keyboard echo, etc.
These 3 secondary command layouts are accessible after the gestures:
· Tap 1: brings up the Go-to command layout.
· Tap 2: brings up the Settings command layout.
· Tap 4: brings up the Speak command layout.
For example, to have Mobile Speak read the device status you should use the command double tap 2 in the Speak layout. To do this, you first need to activate the Speak layout with tap 4. Mobile Speak will say "Speak", indicating that you have activated your desired layout. Then double tap 2 (read device status) and you will get the desired information.
Another example: imagine that you want to have Mobile Speak read the soft keys. To do that just tap 4 (Speak) and then tap 1, which is the gesture associated with the read soft keys command under the Speak layout.
This way you can perform any command with two touch gestures at most. In addition to this, that you have some gestures directly available in the default mode. For example, on Windows Mobile devices, Show Start Menu is assigned to tap 1 and hold.
Note that when you enter into a secondary command layout it is possible to have different functions associated with the directional slides (more information can be found in the full command description section). For example, if you tap 2, bringing up the Settings command layout, sliding up and down will respectively increase and decrease the volume and sliding left and right will modify the speech rate.
Once you bring up a secondary command layout there are two ways to go back to the default assignment. There's a timeout which will send you back to the default after 10 seconds of inactivity, or you can triple tap the screen to force Mobile Speak to reset its touch input to default.
To learn all the touch screen commands, see http://www.codefactory.es/MS4/MS4Commands.doc
The command list is a useful way of using the phone if you do not wish to learn the touch screen commands as it allows you to reach the available commands through the touch interface. Apart from performing commands normally by taps, double taps, and so on, you can slide and hold (i.e., slide in any direction, then stop moving and keep your finger on the screen until the voice announcement is heard) and Mobile Speak will speak "Command List".
Once this happens, you can access the available commands by sliding up and down in the same way as if it were a menu. This mode lists the available commands for the current layout, so by default you have access to Open Start Menu/Main 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.
· 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.
· You can activate the Stylus Mode using double tap and hold from the Default layout. In this mode, you can use the screen without having the Mobile Speak touch interface enabled. Therefore you can tap what you see. This is useful for sighted people who may need to use the device with or without Mobile Speak. To go back to touch mode, press the Command key and then double tap and hold 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.
· After performing the Speak Softkeys command by tap 4 (speak) + tap 1 (read soft keys) you have 5 seconds to directly activate the desired soft key by a single tap 4 (left soft key) or tap 3 (right soft key). During this time you won't need to press tap 1 (Go-to) and then the desired soft key.

There are several methods for entering text using Mobile Speak. If your device includes a physical keyboard, this will probably be the most convenient and efficient method. Additionally, you can use an external QWERTY or Braille keyboard. However, Mobile Speak also includes an on-screen virtual keyboard which allows you to enter text using the touch screen.
The virtual touch input method works by directly entering the characters on the touch screen of the device. When you activate this input method, a virtual keyboard is enabled on the screen. Use the stylus or your finger to select a character, keeping contact with the screen as you move through the characters. When a character is selected, Mobile Speak will speak that character. To insert the character that is currently selected, just lift your finger or the stylus from the screen. Note that as soon as you release the character held at the tip of the stylus or finger, it is inserted. The stylus or your finger should therefore remain pressed to the screen until you find the character that you wish to insert.
To activate the virtual keyboard, use tap 1 + tap 4 and hold. 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.
Using Review Cursor mode on touch screen devices 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.
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 tab found in Mobile Speak’s configuration utility, users can set up connections with any number of supported Braille devices and easily switch between two or more of these at any time. Please refer to the section on configuring Mobile Speak in this document for more details on the various Braille configuration options which are available.
For some devices (including those from HumanWare, BAUM, and Handy Tech), the first step in using Braille with Mobile Speak is to pair the Braille display with your device. Please check the documentation for your Braille device to find out the passcode used to connect with other devices. This may be specific to the serial number of the Braille device unit. Otherwise, you may use any string of numbers, normally no shorter than four digits, like 1234 which is the default passcode used by most Bluetooth-enabled devices. All Bluetooth devices use an authentication number when users attempt to establish a connection between them, thereby securing that connection.
Once the Braille device is added in the Braille page, there is no need to repeat the steps required to set it up for use with Mobile Speak, and you can toggle Braille on/off at any time. You will only need to repeat the process when:
When focus lands on an edit control, Braille output automatically switches to edit mode so that Mobile Speak displays the text cursor by raising dots 7 and 8. At present, this tactile cursor is only available when 6- or 8-dot computer Braille is selected. If there is an uppercase character at the cursor position, the dots will alternate, meaning that dot 8 is raised while dot 7 is not. If text selection commands are used, dots 7 and 8 will both appear in all the cells of the selected text.
When typing text using Grade 1 or 2 Braille, remember that the text is not translated until you press Space or Enter, or perform a command that moves focus or displays a message. Keep in mind that the Braille grade used for input is not necessarily the same one set for Braille output, so use the appropriate commands for configuring input and output Braille grades in order to be certain.
You can use the backspace command assigned to the key combination specific to your Braille device while typing in whichever grade to delete the character to the left of the text cursor. Note that this command may be used even before the text typed in grade 1 or 2 Braille is translated. If you wish to clear everything you have typed so far that has not yet been translated, use the Braille Escape command available on all supported Braille devices.
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. Note that in Symbian devices Mobile Magnifier is always installed together with Mobile Speak (on supported devices) and cannot be separately installed.
Although Mobile Magnifier will automatically detect the area of interest and magnify it in real-time, there may be instances where freely exploring the entire screen is needed. In order to do this, you can press and hold the arrow keys at any time while Mobile Magnifier is running to pan the screen contents.
In addition, on Windows Mobile devices Mobile Magnifier provides a mode called “Lens”. While in this mode, you can use the stylus or finger directly on the touch screen in order to move the lens around the screen. At any time, you can tap once or tap twice quickly on areas that are inside the lens as you would normally do with the touch screen. Moving the lens around the screen can also be accomplished by using the arrow keys. This makes the lens available even on devices that do not have a touch screen.
Mobile Magnifier can be started or stopped in any of the following ways:
· Pressing the Command Key + Long 0
· From the Code Factory folder located under the phone’s Main Menu
· Tap 2 (Settings) + tap 4 through the touch screen
On Windows Mobile devices, you can also start and stop Mobile Magnifier from the Magnification page on the Home Screen.
Mobile Magnifier provides a wide range of configuration settings to fit the needs of each user and provide the best user experience for each different phone. These settings can be configured from the Magnification Page found in the Mobile Speak configuration utility. Please see to the section on configuring Mobile Speak elsewhere in this manual for more details.
On Windows Mobile phones, it is possible to uninstall Mobile Magnifier while keeping Mobile Speak installed. To do so, select the option “Remove Mobile Magnifier from my device” found in the Magnification page under the Mobile Speak Control Panel.
You can change the way your current TTS voice pronounces words through Mobile Speak’s User Dictionary.
There are several ways to access the User Dictionary:
· Command key + Long 4
· Windows Mobile devices: through the Mobile Speak Control Panel, under the Voices option found in the Profile Configuration page.
· Symbian devices: through Configure Mobile Speak, press the left soft key and select ‘User Dictionary’.
When opened, the User Dictionary application shows a list of all the TTSs that you have installed on your phone. User dictionary tool options are:
· Add new word: adds a case-insensitive word to the user dictionaries of all the marked TTSs. For example, ‘Hello’ will be considered the same word as ‘hello’. This option consists of two steps: first, you have to enter the word to be replaced and then the replacement word. Note that you must first mark at least one TTS in order to add a new word; otherwise the message “No dictionaries marked” will appear.
· Add new case-sensitive word: adds a word to the user dictionary of all the marked TTSs differentiating them by the use of capital letter. Example: ‘Hello’ will be considered as different to ‘hello’. To add a new case-sensitive word, follow the same steps above. Note that you must also first mark at least one TTS in order to add a new word; otherwise the message “No dictionaries marked” will appear.
· Mark/Unmark: allows you to mark or unmark specific TTSs, so that operations such as “Add new word” will be performed on multiple TTSs. Note that pressing the Joystick Enter key toggles the Marked / Unmarked status of the current TTS.
· Show word list: shows all the words contained in the selected TTS. It appears as a list, but you can also do a quick search by typing the word (like in the Contacts application). This feature is useful when there are hundreds of words. When a word is selected it can be deleted or edited.
· Refresh dictionary list: updates the TTS list. This option can be useful, for example, if you have just installed a new user dictionary via the PC tool and the dictionary has not yet been automatically updated.
· Reset Dictionary: deletes the user dictionary of the selected TTS. Note that pressing the Clear key has the same effect.
· Help: speaks help information regarding the usage of the User Dictionary.
Now we also support the following punctuation signs when adding words to the user dictionary (for both case-sensitive or insensitive): ! " # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] [ ^ _ ` { } ~
Please note that there is no need to reload the current TTS in order to reflect changes when adding words. This is done automatically when a word is added or deleted.
Here are some general things to keep in mind when using the user dictionary:
· You can add phrases to the user dictionary; however it behaves differently than when adding a single word. Mobile Speak only replaces phrases that are exactly as defined in the user dictionary. For example: If we replace "Missed calls", then when speaking "2 Missed calls" it won't be replaced as this text is not exactly the same as the phrase in the dictionary.
· The user dictionaries are stored on the phone in files called userdict.dat. There is a different file for each TTS, and the location of each userdict.dat file depends on the TTS and voice that are used. The folder where the files are stored is in the format /data/TTS_Name/TTS_Language/[TTS_Voice/]. For example, the Acapela Spanish Javier user dictionary is stored at /data/speechacapela/Spanish/Javier/userdict.dat. Unless you have first copied a user dictionary to a different memory location, the files will always be created on the C: drive (i.e. phone memory). If you’d like to share your User Dictionary with other phones, you simply need to transfer the userdict.dat file to the other phones and place it in the same folder.
Mobile Speak provides powerful web browsing capabilities on all supported devices.
The web browser is available on all Symbian 3rd and 5th edition phones. Mobile Speak provides easy to use and powerful access to web content via the Web browser, allowing you to navigate web pages in the way you are used to with your desktop screen reader. In most phones, this browser is called "Web". In 9.2, 9.3, and 5th edition phones, it is the default browser and the only one preinstalled on the device. It can also be launched by doing a long press of the “0” key from the standby screen. In 9.1 phones, it is not the default browser - the default browser is typically called "Services" and is also supported by Mobile Speak. If you have a 9.1 phone and want to use the newly supported Web browser, make sure that you are launching the correct browser (i.e. the one typically called "Web").
Mobile Speak provides support for the web browser by means of a virtual cursor. The default key press functionality has been changed in order to provide special functionality and allow easy navigation through the web page. While a page is loading, on most phones you can press “joystick up” to hear how much data has already been loaded and how much remains (e.g. 123 of 456 KB). Once a page is fully loaded, a page summary with the number of frames, headings, elements and links will be spoken. Once this is spoken, you can begin to navigate the page using the Mobile Speak virtual cursor. Note: you must wait until the page is fully loaded to start using the Mobile Speak virtual cursor.
Please keep in mind that you will need an Internet connection in order to use this web browser. If you do not connect via WLAN, please check the data plan of your operator so that you know exactly what charges are involved with downloading Internet data.
Below is a summary of the virtual cursor commands currently available:
· Joystick down: Move forward one element in the web page.
· Joystick up: Move back one element in the web page.
· Joystick right: Jump forward one element based on the current Jump Mode. The Jump Mode can be changed by pressing the keys 2-8 (see below). The default Jump Mode whenever a new page is loaded is "Jump by Links".
· Joystick left: Jump back one element based on the current Jump Mode. The Jump Mode can be changed by pressing the keys 2-8 (see below). The default Jump Mode whenever a new page is loaded is "Jump by Links".
· 0: Toggles between start and end of a page.
· 2: C for Control. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump to same control; Jump to different control; Jump to graphical control.
· 3: F for Forms. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by forms; Jump by editors; Jump by buttons; Jump by checkbox and radio button; Jump by combo box and list box.
· 4: H for Headings. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by headings and frames; Jump by headings; Jump by frames.
· 5: L for Links. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by links; Jump by non-links; Jump by in-page links.
· 6: M for Move. Move forward or backward in the page by a fixed percentage of the page size (in elements). Options are: 2%, 5%, and 10%. Information about the current element number in the page is also provided to give an indication of your current location in the page.
· 7: P for Paragraph. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by paragraph and block quotes; Jump by paragraph; Jump by block quotes.
· 8: T for Tables. Toggles the Jump Mode between: Jump by table and list; Jump by list; Jump by table.
· 9: Read to end of page. This will speak the contents of the page, starting at the current element. Press the * key to stop speaking, and the virtual cursor will be positioned at the element where you stopped.
· Clear: Move backwards in the current page using your navigation history. This provides a convenient way to trace back the steps as you navigate through a page.
· Send key: Opens a search window, allowing the user to enter a search term. The left and right joystick keys can then be used to repeatedly jump through and move to the next found element.
· Enter: Appropriate behaviour depending on the type of control. For example, when currently focused on a link, navigate to the link. When currently focused on a text entry box, open the editor so that text can be entered.
The left and right soft keys have their normal functionality in the web browser. The left soft key pops up a menu of available browser options, while the right soft key allows the user to move back to the previous page.
Note: JavaScript must be enabled in the Web Settings menu (it is enabled by default, so unless you have disabled it this should not be an issue).
Opening a document with QuickWord
When QuickWord is opened, a navigable list of options appears. However, when selecting “Recent documents” or “C:Phone memory”, a list will appear with respectively, all recently opened documents, or the entire contents of the accessible phone memory. However, these contents are not currently accessible with Mobile Speak.
An alternative and accessible way to access the list of word documents is to use the phone’s File Manager, which on many phones is located in the “Tools” folder. Opening File Manager will show a list of files in the phone memory, and when scrolling through this list, the name of the selected item is spoken. When selecting a Word document, QuickWord will open this file.
Starting up QuickWord
When opening a .DOC file in the File Manager, the QuickWord program will open and the document will appear in the screen, in “Read Only” mode. This “read only” view is not accessible with Mobile Speak. However, when selecting Options -> Edit Document, the text will be in editing mode and will be fully accessible. If your version of QuickWord does not allow editing, you may need to purchase a full license of QuickWord in order to be accessible with Mobile Speak.
When in editing mode, the document’s entire text is spoken. This can be interrupted by pressing one of the arrow keys. From that point on, the normal Mobile Speak key commands work, just as in the case of other editor programs (e.g. text messages).
Reading a Document with QuickWord
When starting in editing mode, the entire text will be spoken. This is interrupted as soon as any key is pressed. Depending on which key is pressed, the corresponding command will be executed. The most powerful Mobile Speak commands are available from the “reading layout” (entered by pressing Command Key + 5). The most important reading commands are:
· Command Key + #. Speak the entire text.
· Command Key + Long Pressed #. Spell the current word.
· Command Key + Long Pressed Arrow Up. Speak the previous line.
· Command Key + Long Pressed Arrow Down. Speak the next line.
· Command Key + 1. Speak the previous sentence.
· Command Key + 2. Speak the entire text.
· Command Key + Long Pressed 2. Go to the beginning of the text.
· Command Key + 3. Speak the next sentence.
· Command Key + 4. Speak the previous word.
· Command Key + 6. Speak the next word.
· Command Key + Long Pressed 6. Speak the current word.
· Command Key + 7. Speak the previous paragraph.
· Command Key + 8. Speak from the current cursor position.
· Command Key + Long Pressed 8. Move the cursor to the end of the text.
· Command Key + 9. Speak the next paragraph.
Editing a Document with QuickWord
When inserting a new word, each letter is spoken out. After typing a space, the last inserted word is entirely spoken out. When the editor is in T9 mode, after pressing a new letter, the entire word is spoken out.
Starting Fring
When starting Fring, it will attempt to connect to the Internet. If no connection is available, it will inform you. All necessary information during this process is spoken by Mobile Speak.
When successfully logged in, a list of contacts as added during the configuration or during previous settings will appear on the screen. When moving the cursor up and down, the highlighted contact will be spoken out.
Press the middle button to select the contact. The chat window will open.
Chatting with Fring
The chat window consists of two sections: the upper section is the chat section and the lower section is the text input section, where the cursor is always located. All the text that you type will appear in this section.
To send written text to the other party in the chat session, click on the center button (recommended). Alternatively, you can press the left soft key to open the Options menu and then select Send.
When the other party responds, a ringtone will be played. At this point, you have three possibilities to hear the received text. For all three possibilities, you must set the window to “Reading Layout mode” (by pressing Command Key + 5).
· Command Key + Long Pressed Arrow Down - speak the last received line.
· Command Key + Long Pressed Arrow Up - speak all previously unspoken text from beginning to end. If no new text has arrived since the last time this command has been pressed, it will speak only the previous line (the line above the line that was spoken the last time).
· Command Key + # - speak the entire text from the chat section.
To leave the chat window, click Options (upper left button) and then scroll down until you can select Close.

All Rights Reserved
LICENSE AGREEMENT
By installing or activating the Code Factory products and their speech, magnification, or Braille components, you accept all the terms and conditions of this license agreement:
1. GRANT.
Code Factory, S.L. (referred to hereafter as "Code Factory"), with its principal place of business at Rambla d'Egara, 148, 2-2, 08221 Terrassa, Spain, hereby grants to you a user-centered license to use the Code Factory products (referred to hereafter as "Software"), and accompanying product documentation (referred to hereafter as "Documentation") on the following terms:
2. PERMISSIONS.
You may:
(i) install, activate, and use the Software on any supported phone meeting the product's system requirements;
(ii) install and use the Software on another device provided that:
(a) you activated the Software on the second device with a trial license,
(b) you activated the Software on the second device using a full license different from the one used on the first device, or
(c) you have transferred your phone number to the device on which you wish to run the product.
(iii) copy the Software in machine-readable form solely for back-up or archival purposes, or use within a single working location, provided you reproduce Code Factory's copyright notice and proprietary legends.
3. RESTRICTIONS.
You may not:
(i) modify, translate, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human perceivable form;
(ii) create derivative works based on the Software or any portion thereof, or the Documentation, or attempt to increase the functionality of the Software in any manner except through scripting or other improvement functionality accessible to the user and supported by Code Factory.
(iii) copy the Software (except for backup purposes) or the Documentation. Copying includes, but is not limited to, reproduction through any electronic or mechanical means, and distributing copies;
(iv) remove any proprietary notices or labels on or in the Software or Documentation.
4. OWNERSHIP.
Code Factory retains the title, ownership rights, intellectual property rights, and trade secrets in and to the Software and Documentation, including all subsequent copies and updates to the Software and Documentation, regardless of the form or media used.
Similarly, the title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in and to the content accessed through the Software is the property of the applicable content owner and may be protected by applicable copyright or other law. This license gives you no rights to such content.
The Software is protected by the copyright laws of Spain and international copyright treaties. In no manner and under no circumstances is this license to be interpreted as a sale of the title, ownership and intellectual property rights in and to the Software and Documentation.
5. LIMITED WARRANTY.
Code Factory warrants that the Software will perform substantially on an officially supported device in accordance with accompanying written materials for a period of thirty (30) days with a trial license, or with no time limitations with a full license, providing that the version of the Software and the operating system and firmware version of the device on which it runs do not change. This limited warranty is void if failure of the Software has resulted from user error, accident, abuse, misapplication, and defects in the Software and hardware of the device. This is the sole and exclusive warranty which Code Factory makes as to its software. Some states/countries/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you.
Except as expressly provided in the limited warranty section above, the Software is provided to the end user "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Without limiting the foregoing, any warranty of non-infringement of third parties' rights, as well as warranties of merchantability and of fitness for a particular purpose are specifically disclaimed. The entire risk of the quality and performance of the Software is with you.
No Code Factory dealer, reseller, agent, employee, or any other party is authorized to make warranties or conditions on Code Factory's behalf. You may have other legal rights that vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.
6. DISCLAIMERS.
You accept all risks which may arise from the downloading, installation and use of the Software including, but not limited to, errors in transmission, corruption of existing data or Software in the device, and/or damage to the hardware of the device. Code Factory is not responsible for damage that might be caused by the software of other companies that can be installed and purchased separately.
If a user wants to test the Software, he/she should ask for a trial license. Under no circumstances will the money paid to purchase licenses be returned, in part or whole. Likewise, under no circumstances will purchased licenses be exchanged for licenses of other Code Factory products, individual components (including but not limited to text-to-speech voices and plug-ins), and separately licensed add-ons.
Each license granted allows installation and activation of the Software on only one phone number, and its associated device, at a time. If you want to use a fully activated version of the Software on several devices at the same time, you must purchase as many licenses as there are devices you wish to use simultaneously. Some of the functionality of the Software may be affected by differences in the firmware of certain devices. Code Factory is not responsible for the failure of the Software due to these factors.
The user declares that he/she has read the content of the website http://www.codefactory.es and other websites it links to, and therefore, has knowledge of the features of the Software. He also declares that he/she has read the Documentation before using the Software and, consequently, knows how to use the software.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, tort, contract, or otherwise, shall Code Factory or its dealers and resellers be liable to you or any other person for any damages including, without limitation, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if Code Factory shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. Code Factory shall not be liable for any damages under this agreement.
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS.
If the Software is acquired under the terms of a GSA contract, use, reproduction or disclosure is subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable ADP Schedule contract. If the Software is acquired under the terms of a DOD or civilian agency contract, use, duplication or disclosure by the government is subject to the restrictions of this license in accordance with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations and its successors and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 of the DOD FAR Supplement and its successors.
9. EMERGENCY CALLS.
The devices on which the Software operates use radio signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local cellular service providers to determine the methods for placing emergency calls.
To make an emergency call:
A) if the phone is not turned on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some networks may require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the phone.
B) press the hang up key as many times as necessary (for example, to exit a call, to exit a menu, etc.) in order to clear the display and prepare the phone for calls.
C) key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
D) press the dial key. If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency call.
Consult your local cellular service provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Keep in mind that your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident – do not end the call until given permission to do so.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
According to the regulations in force referring to royalties, especially the revised text of “Ley 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.
If any provision of this agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
