I was using MA, I started having trouble with my phone last week, it was
telling me i had no room for texts and yet there was loads of space on
the phone, so we restored to facgtory settings. Something made me try
Talkback again, even though when I first tried it, I found it
unresponsive when I moved around the phone, it always had to finish what
it started reading. Well, not now, it's responsive and does what I want
it to do when i want it to do it. So I haven't reloaded MA at this
point, and am wondering if it was over $100 New Zealand down the drain?
I'll see how Talkback continues to improve, and may or may not reinstall
MA.
it's nice to have a phone that is now not lagging.
Cheers, Maggie.
And that means ALL! of your customers!

YOu are still selling the product to individuals and carriers and so you
should be supporting it. You have a good product, but the lack of
support isn't a good sign. Just because 4.1 is more accessible, doesn't
mean there isn't a place for you. Maybe the allowance of additional
pages to your launcher, and fixing our complaints would make you
relivant again. We could always have used the free talkback or spiel
and other than an accessible email client or browser, Ma really didn't
offer much in the way of accessibility that couldn't have been addressed
for free or of lesser cost than MA was. So why did people buy MA? They
did so because at the time, it was the best option out there and worth
the money. What you have given us since is nothing really substantial
to keep your suite of applications and your screen reader on top. You
claim there is no need because of the accessibility improvements, yet
you support a dead os. If you are going to support a dead os, then you
really should still support those using 2.1/2.2/2.3 as well. It is
exactly the same thing. Also because this is a MA mailinglist and not a
Mobile speak one, you continuing to provide Mobile speak information
here is insulting to the people still here that either are purchasing
your product, have a use for your product, or wish to use it again when
it is updated. You have a bad reputation in the accessibility, and not
just among the Mobile Accessibility users list, but with people before
MA came out. If as a company, you wish to not wind up going out of
business, you need to start treating your customers right.

Well there's no need for MA now because Android 4.1 is much improved
and allot of people don't feel the need for MA anyway.

You don't even want to know what I think of this company at all! First

wanted
to hear about that program, I would have signed up to its mailing list.
Here is a thought! Why not tell us what you are working on for us?
Meaning
mobile accessibility? I mean there are lots of us that did purchase
your
program you know. I do believe if I am not mistaken your last update
came
out in either may or june! And instead of fixing what a lot of us have
been
telling you needed fixed, what do you do? You brag about your Braille
support! We just added a new feature that will make a lot of blind
people
happy! Braille support! Well big hairy deal! We want features fixed! We
don't want new features, until you fix a lot of the old stuff. Come on!

Good news to be sure for Mobile Speak users, but what about those of
us who use Mobile Accessibility for Android? It's time those of us
without Braille displays got some more bang for our buck. Just
athought.
Thanks,

Subject: [MA] Mobile Speak V5.81 is now available!
Hi everyone,
We are happy to announce the release of v5.81 of Mobile Speak Symbian.
It is another free upgrade for users with a v4.0 or later license.
This version is a patch release which supports new firmware versions
that have recently been released on some devices (Belle Refresh and
Belle Feature Pack 2). In addition, some bug general bug fixes and
improvements have been included (including support for the latest
version of WhatsApp), so all users are encouraged to upgrade to v5.81.
No TTS packages have been changed in this release, so there's no need
to upgrade your TTS version if you already have the latest one
installed.
If you currently have v5.80 installed, then you can go into Configure
Mobile Speak > Options > Product downloads > Check for updates and
follow the instructions to install this release on top of your current
version. Please remember to install to the same memory location where
Mobile Speak is currently installed. If you are prompted with
something like "Unable to install. Some applications must be closed
first. Close now?", choose OK and the installation should proceed.
After a few minutes, the installation will complete and Mobile Speak
should be running (a restart of the device is recommended as always).
Alternatively, you can download v5.81 from our web page at
http://codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=348#version_0_106. The
direct link to the installer is
http://codefactory.es/download.asp?file=family_4/product_18/version_106/Mobi
leSpeak_S60_v5.81.sisx.
That user manual has been updated and can be found here:
http://codefactory.es/descargas/family_4/ms581_userguide_symbian.html
Here's a list of all the changes in this release:
a.. Support for Symbian Belle Feature Pack 2 (FP2). This firmware
has recently been made available on the 603, 700, 701 and 808 devices.
Changes
include:
a.. Support for Web Browser. Please check the web browser tips and
workarounds for Belle FP2 in the user manual here:
http://codefactory.es/descargas/family_4/ms581_userguide_symbian.html#
_Toc341688819
b.. Support for Email.
c.. Support for Help pages.
d.. Fixed problem on 700 and 603 devices where it was difficult to
unlock the lock screen. This can now be done on these devices by
pressing the Menu key or the Screen Lock key and then doing a swipe
left or right on the screen.
e.. Automatically closing half keyboard when it appears when
entering text, and fixing problem with entering text in Keypad mode.
Note however that the text input mode (e.g. alpha, number or
predictive) may not be spoken correctly due to a firmware bug,
although it can still be changed as always by pressing the # key.
b.. Support for Nokia Belle Refresh firmware (recently available as
an update on the N8, E6, E7, C7, C6-01, X7 and 500). This will fix the
problems where the web browser and email were not working correctly on
these devices after updating to Nokia Belle Refresh.
c.. Updated to provide full support for the latest v2.8.22 of
Whatsapp.
d.. Web: Fixed problem where some buttons and images were not being
spoken on some pages.
e.. Nokia HQ: modified the change made in recent release which
stopped vibrations when Nokia HQ voice was selected. Now, the
vibrations will still occur if the Nokia HQ voice is not speaking at
the time the vibration is meant to occur. However, if the voice is
speaking, the vibration will not occur since it would interrupt the
speech.
f.. Fixed problem where screen reader was using wrong language
resources when a program was being used which does not support the
current phone language (e.g. Skype in some languages).
a.. Braille: On Focus Blue devices, fixed stability and performance
with rockers.
b.. Braille: Added additional commands for EasyLink/BraillePen
devices, to provide an alternative for devices without a joystick:
a.. Enter: Space + dots15.
b.. Dial: Space + dot7(Shift) + dots15.
c.. Hang up: Space + dot7(Shift) + dots125.
c.. Braille: Added missing commands for Humanware Brailliant devices
(BI32, BI40 and B80):
d.. Braille: Fixed problem on some devices where Toggle Help Mode,
Toggle Secret mode and Open User Dictionary commands were not working.
e.. Latest translations.
We hope you enjoy this this latest release!
