I'm not exactly sure this was appropriate for a public list. You may have your own opinion, as do others, of this product but if you have something to say about this particular product than an explanation with the particular details of your dissatisfaction would be more useful than something that gives nothing. I can already deduce from your email ID what yo uconsider the more superior product however, I do have one question, what phones were many people using before the Iphone showed up on the market? I already know the answer. How many people after trying the newer phones returned to the one that they knew best? Or should I say the one that has been around a lot longer than the IOS devices. ----- Original Message ----- From: from my iphone To: Eye ; Adaptive and support. technology information Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 9:12 PM Subject: [ATI] Fwd: New Version of Nokia Screen Reader is now available!

It is free, it's basically a stripped down version of mobile speak, but it works with all of the major features of symbian phones. Original message: well, it is never to late to give choices to the blind /visual impaired community ! The more choices the better I like it myself. lots of people like to have a phone just for a phone and something eles for playing with or they like a phone for personal use and another for business use or what ever ! Choices is good thing! Now is this screen reader free and how robust is it ? Bubba On 10/17/12, Ibrahim Gucukoglu <[email protected]> wrote: Far too little, way too late. If Nokia had done this even a couple of years ago then they might still have blind customers, as it is most have jumped ship and Symbian is nearing the end of its working life as Nokia pushes Windows Phone devices like the Lumia to try and revive its fortunes.

New version of Nokia Screen Reader New version of Nokia Screen Reader is now available on the Nokia Store! Popular and free application now supports more than 40 devices and 29 languages! Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, October 17th, 2012 The highly popular Nokia Screen Reader application, which was released late in 2011 for a limited range of devices and languages, has now been extended to include support for virtually all Nokia Symbian devices released in the last few years. In addition, it now supports a much wider range of languages. And the best part for users: it keeps being a free application! “We’ve received fantastic feedback since the launch of Nokia Screen Reader 10 months ago,” explains Eduard Sánchez, CEO at Code Factory. “It’s been a great leap forward for affordable accessibility, and Nokia is to be credited for supporting the project. However, many users were disappointed that their phone or language was not supported. With the release of Nokia Screen Reader 1.3, we are delighted to be able to greatly extend the availability of Nokia Screen Reader both in terms of devices and supported languages, to once again break down the barriers of accessibility.” Major features of v1.3: • Support for a large number of new devices. The full set of supported devices is now: Nokia 500, 603, 700, 701, 808 PureView, 5320, 5530, 5630, 5730, 6120, 6121, 6210, 6220, 6700 Slide, 6710, 6720, 6790, C5-00, C5 5MP, C6-00, C6-01, C7, E5, E52, E55, E6-00, E63, E66, E7, E71, E71x, E72, E73, E75, N78, N79, N8, N85, N86, N96, N97, N97 Mini, X6 and X7. • Support for a much wider range of languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Greek, Hindi, Norwegian, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Arabic, Croatian, Lithuanian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Hungarian, Malaysian, Serbian, Slovak, Tagalog, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Icelandic. Note that some of these languages do not have a corresponding Nokia HQ voice, so it is recommended to use the Nokia standard quality voice for these languages. • Added the "Voice" option to the UI, which allows users to choose between the Nokia HQ and the Nokia (standard quality) voices. Nokia HQ will still be loaded by default when Nokia Screen Reader is first installed. • Support for devices running Symbian Belle Refresh and Symbian Belle Feature Pack 2 (FP2) firmware. • Support for latest version of WhatsApp v2.8.14, the world’s most popular mobile messaging application.
