Subject: Mobile Speak/Magnifier Version 2.0 released!
Dear Users,
In the design of Code Factory's access technology products, we endeavor to meet
the most pressing demands of the blind and visually impaired users of
mainstream mobile phones and PDAs, namely:
a.. They need to easily upgrade to a newer device model, or switch to a
backup phone/PDA if their primary device is damaged or lost.
b.. They want to use an access solution that will work on the latest device
models as they become available in the market, as well as the latest version of
the software used on these new devices.
c.. They need access to mainstream technology but where the access solution
also has features that meet the specific needs of the blind and visually
impaired.
In response to these concerns of its customers, Code Factory releases Version
2.0 of Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier for Pocket PCs, which continue to be
the leading screen access solutions for Windows Mobile Professional and Classic
editions.
Note that Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier Pocket v2.0 is made available as a
public beta for everyone to use on a free 30-day trial license, regardless if
the user already owns a full license. This means that new and existing users
alike can install Version 2.0, and use a trial license to check out all the new
features and available TTS voices for 30 days without any extra costs. Those
who already have a full license can also migrate their serial number and
license code pair to the User-Centered Licensing system on their own and for
free, and fully activate the products registered to them to enjoy the increased
functionality that Version 2.0 provides.
Some of the 55 new and exciting features include:
a.. User-Centered Licensing system (www.codefactory.es/UCL) which allows free
and unlimited transfer of licenses between devices, activation of devices
anytime and anywhere using an internet connection or SMS, use
of a backup phone, and much more.
b.. Support for the latest Pocket PC phones including the AT&T Tilt / HTC
TyTN II (Kaiser / P4550), the T-Mobile MDA Touch / HTC Touch (Elf / P3450), the
O2 Xda Star / HTC Touch Dual (Nike / P5500), the Verizon Wireless XV6800
(Sprint PPC-6800 Mogul / Telus P4000 / Bell HTC 6800), and the O2 Xda Atom Life.
You can check out the complete MSP and MMP Device Compatibility List that
already has more than one hundred supported Pocket PCs at
http://www.codefactory.es/en/phones.asp?id=100
c.. Built-in application for reading Braille formatted (BRF) files with
speech, Braille or both, as well as a Bookshare.org unpacking utility.
d.. Unique memory and processor optimizations that resulted in greater
stability, responsiveness and battery life.
e.. A new and vastly configurable installation process that allows you to
choose which components (speech, magnification or Braille) to install.
f.. Although older versions of MSP already worked well with the Windows
Mobile editions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, MSP v2.0 now includes official
support
for Office Mobile 6.1, including OneNote Mobile that can be installed if the
user has OneNote 2007 on his PC.
g.. Improved support for built-in applications such as Internet Explorer
Mobile to better handle different web elements, the Calendar to provide more
information
in the Agenda View, Excel Mobile to read cell entries even if they do not fit
the visual screen, and many more.
h.. An option to disable the touch screen while on a call to avoid accidental
screen taps.
i.. Enhanced support for today's latest Braille device, the Optelec ALVA
Braille Controller 640, including an input panel and a split output feature that
allows you to use this Braille terminal with a desktop/laptop and your Pocket
PC phone/PDA at the same time.
j.. Options to automatically reconnect with a Braille device after a Pocket
PC boots up, and to automatically turn off Bluetooth when this connection is
terminated.
WE warmly welcome your feedback about this public beta, so please send us your
comments, suggestions, requests and questions to support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank
you.
