There are two keypad > types: Numeric and Letters. When this input method is activated, the > Numeric keypad is selected by default. You switch between keypad > types by pressing the Mobile Speak Pocket Control key. The Numeric > keypad has five rows with three keys each. The first four rows are > similar to a 12-key dial-pad with 1,2,3 in the first row, 4,5,6 in > the next, 7,8,9 in the third, and *,0,# in the fourth. The bottom row > has keys for the Left softkey, Backspace key, and Right softkey (from > left to right). If you wish to long-press a key in the first four > rows of this keypad, press the MSP Shift key to switch to the > "Numeric: Long" mode. Pressing the Shift key again will switch you > back to the mode for short key presses. On the other hand, the > Letters keypad has seven rows with five keys each. Letters are not > arranged in QWERTY or any language-dependent keyboard layout. > Instead, you have the letters 'a' through 'e' in the first row, 'f' > through 'j' in the second, 'k' through 'o' in the third, 'p' through > 't' in the fourth, and 'u' through 'y' in the fifth. Then the sixth > row has the following keys: 'z', period, apostrophe, dash, and the > Symbol key. The last row has the following keys: Space, comma, > ampersand, forward slash, and Backspace. When you press the Mobile > Speak Pocket Shift key while the Letters keypad is selected, then you > switch to the "Uppercase" mode. The first five rows will input the > uppercase equivalents of the letters from 'a' through 'y'. The sixth > row has the following keys: 'Z', colon, at sign, underscore, and the > Symbol key. The last row has the following keys: space, question > mark, open parenthesis, close parenthesis, and Backspace. To exit the > Touch Keypad, press the Mobile Speak Pocket Alt key. > > To read the full list of new features and improvements made for V2.1, > visit > http://www.codefactory.es/descargas/family_1/product_3/Whats_new_pocketpc.html > for Mobile Speak Pocket and > http://www.codefactory.es/descargas/family_1/product_2/whats_new_smartphone.html > for Mobile Speak Smartphone. > > New users are invited to download a free 30-day trial version of > Mobile Speak Pocket and Mobile Speak Smartphone and discover how > Mobile Speak can convert an otherwise inaccessible mainstream device > into an essential communications tool.
