Code Factory launches V3.40 of Mobile Speak for Symbian Phones

New release features full support for Wayfinder Access V2.0, new Loquendo
voices, and support for 10 additional languages. 

Terrassa (Barcelona), March 7th, 2008

Code Factory, the world-leading provider of eyes-free access to mobile
devices, today announced the release of version 3.40 of the Mobile Speak
screen reader for Symbian Phones. The new release, coming just three months
after the release of the previous version of the screen reader,
incorporates, among its many exciting features, languages no screen reader
for mobile devices has ever fully supported before. 

"What sets Code Factory apart", explains Chief Technical Officer Greg
Gladman, "is the speed of our releases and our responsiveness to user
feedback. Mobile Speak is constantly being updated and improved, and we want
to get those improvements into the hands of our users as fast as possible.
Our speedy releases enable us to quickly respond to the needs of our users
and develop new and unique features, like the ones we're making available
today."

Here are just a few of the many features V3.40 of Mobile Speak brings to the
market:

*	Support for the new and responsive High Quality Loquendo voices on
Symbian 9 phones in UK and US English, Spanish, French, German, Italian,
Polish and Portuguese. 
*	Full support for the latest features of Wayfinder Access V2.0. 

	*	Unique adaptation for the new Vicinity Feed screen. Mobile
Speak only reads the text when it changes. For example, if the GPS
application says "walk 200 meters and turn left" and then changes to "walk
100 meters and turn left", Mobile Speak won't repeat the whole sentence.
Instead, it will say "100", "50", "30", etc. If users want to hear the whole
sentence repeated, all they need to do is to press Edit+#. 
	*	New easy-to-understand direction mode based on a standard
clock. For instance, instead of saying "The hotel is in 10 meters at 270
degrees", Mobile Speak will say "The hotel is in 10 meters at 9 o'clock. 

*	Full translations for 10 new languages: due to our unique support of
the Nokia voices built into Symbian third edition phones, Mobile Speak can
now speak Hindi, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Serbian, Slovak, Tagalog,
Romanian, Urdu and Indonesian. Users can listen to Mobile Speak in any of
these languages if the firmware of their Symbian 9 phone uses the desired
language. Once the firmware displays the language in question, the Nokia
voice for that language can be selected from the Settings application of the
Mobile Speak control panel. More information about Mobile Speak's support
for the Nokia voices is available at
http://www.codefactory.es/additional_docs/en/nokiaTTS_EN.html.

*	Optional audible tone which indicates that Mobile Speak is loaded on
a Symbian 9 phone. 

*	"Volume on call" feature, allowing the user to set one volume level
when Mobile Speak is operating normally and another when the program speaks
while the user is in a phone call. 
*	"Voice on call" feature, allowing users to choose between Nokia and
NokiaHQ text-to-speech (TTS) on a call. 
*	New user dictionary tool for Symbian 9, which allows users to
customize the way words and phrases are spoken by the voice they use. 
*	Accessibility to all Active Standby screen plug-in items when the
Active Standby screen is activated. 
*	The PIN code entry screen is now spoken on startup in Symbian 9.2
phones. 
*	WLAN status and Keyboard lock is now read when Edit + left soft is
pressed.
