Symbian was a great platform for its time. I still have several Symbian
phones. However, even Nokia is phasing it out and moving to Windows
Phone 8. It's good that they are now providing a free screen reader,
though this should ahve been done several years ago.

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.

Unfortunately as we all know, Symbian is toast.

For what and where Symbian is at this point, that's probably adequate.

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.

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 ?

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.
