Languages to follow soon are: Spanish, Italian, German, French and Portuguese. Mobile Accessibility doesn't support multiple languages at one time. If you buy the English version of Mobile Accessibility you will not be able to use it in another language like French or Spanish. There will be a specific version of Mobile Accessibility for each language and each version will have to be purchased separately. US and UK English are 2 different languages. Mobile Accessibility is two products in one: * A suite of 10 accessible applications (Phone, Contacts, SMS, Alarm, Calendar, Email, Web, Where am I, Apps and Settings) that have been specially designed for the blind and visually impaired. They all have a simplified interface whose textual information is spoken using Nuance VocalizerR voice synthesis. * A screen reader that allows users to get out of the suite and navigate the standard interface of their phone. The major features of Mobile Accessibility are the following: * Touch navigation: You can use Mobile Accessibility not only with the trackball or the physical keyboard of your phone, but also with its touch screen! Simply move your finger around the screen and the voice synthesis will read the text located under your finger. Or if you prefer, you can also swipe up/down/right/left and tap on the screen to navigate through the interface. And if you wish you can enable sound and vibration feedback. * Easy to input text: In or outside the Mobile Accessibility suite you can use the touch QWERTY keyboard as well as speech recognition to write text quickly and easily. Imagine writing an SMS or an Email using your voice only. * Voice synthesis: Code Factory has been making mobile phones accessible to the blind and visually impaired for many years now, and they know that the voice matters... and a lot! For Mobile Accessibility, Code Factory has partnered with NuanceR to leverage its trusted Vocalizer text-to-speech technology, providing consumers with natural sounding voice read back. Inside the Mobile Accessibility suite of accessible applications you can do the following * Phone: Make calls, answer calls, hear the caller ID and manage your call log. * Contacts: Manage your contacts, even those from social networks such as Facebook. * SMS: Compose and read short messages. Manage conversations. * Alarms: Set your alarms. * Web: Full web browser experience, similar to what you can find on your PC. Jump by the control of your choice (links, paragraphs, headings, forms, etc.) to navigate faster to the information of your interest. Bookmark your favorite webpages. * Calendar: Create, edit and delete a calendar entry. View all events per day, week or month. * Email: Full access to your Gmail account * Where am I? : GPS application that gives you updates on your current location. * Settings: Change ringtone.
