Interesting, I heard that Symbien is on its way out. I heard this when I
purchased my Iphone back in April. The only thing I am using my N-82 for
now is the KNFB Reader and that's it. Did they ever come out with a GPS
program for that unit?

> This might be a record in the history of Code Factory development, only
> three and a half weeks to provide its users with a new feature-packed
> update
> of Mobile Speak. It seems that this year the seasons are reversed, summer
> time is Christmas time!
>
> “One day after sending V5.5 to sign to the Symbian test house, Nokia
> launched an updated firmware version for many popular devices and some of
> our accessibility got broken. We were attending the NFB convention in
> Orlando a couple of days later and everyone was waiting for this new
> version
> of Mobile Speak supporting new devices and featuring new functionality. We
> didn’t know at that time how long it would take us to support this new
> firmware so we preferred not to postpone the release of V5.5,” explained
> Eduard Sánchez, Code Factory’s CEO. “Therefore right after releasing V5.5
> our development team put all their efforts into supporting the new
> firmware
> updates, but they went further than that. One more time, they reviewed the
> list of features requested by our users and beta testers, picked up a few
> of
> them and added more functionality to this update.”
>
> Main highlights of Mobile Speak 5.6 are:
>
> - *Support for new firmware versions* which were released in June 2011
> on
> the following 9.3 and 5th edition devices: C5-00, E5, E52, E72, 6700
> slide,
> C6-00, C5-03, 5230, 5235, 5250, 5530, 5800, X6, N97 mini. Specific items
> which changed in this firmware and which now work correctly again are:
> Web
> browser, Email, Built-in Help screens, Standby screen's horizontal
> shortcut
> list and Symbol table.
> - *Support for Nokia Internet Radio*: Internet Radio is a free
> application which allows you to listen to radio stations from all over
> the
> world via the Internet. It is supported on a wide range of devices, from
> Symbian 9.1 through to the latest Symbian Anna phones. It comes
> pre-installed on many devices (check inside the Music, Radio or
> Applications
> folders), while on others it will need to be installed. Since it uses
> the
> Internet, make sure that you either have a WLAN connection active or are
> using a data plan, to avoid data charges. Stations can be browsed by
> many
> categories including type of music, language, country or popularity.
> Favorite stations can be saved so that they can easily be accessed
> later.
> - *Global copy and paste shortcuts*: Mobile Speak v5.60 adds new
> commands
> for Copy (Command + 6 from the Default layout) and Paste (Command + Long
> 6
> from the Default layout). The Copy command will copy the last spoken
> text,
> as determined in the list of the last 5 texts spoken in Command + *. You
> therefore have the possibility to copy any of the last 5 items spoken,
> simply press Command + * until you hear the desired text, and then press
> Command + 6 for this text to be copied. You can then move to any
> writable
> edit field (e.g. writing an SMS or email, notes, address field or
> anywhere
> else where you would normally write text) and press Command + Long 6 to
> paste the text at the current cursor position. This powerful tool will
> be
> useful in many situations, for example when copying text or links in the
> web
> browser and pasting them into an email or SMS message.
> - *Support for emoticons (smileys)*: A large number of devices from
> Symbian 9.3 and above have built-in Emoticon support in the Messaging
> application. Mobile Speak will now read these emoticons when they are
> encountered when reading and writing SMS messages. When writing an SMS,
> these emoticons can be added either by writing the appropriate symbols,
> or
> by using the emoticon symbol table which is available on these supported
> devices (either under the Options menu, by pressing * or, on QWERTY
> devices,
> by pressing the Symbol key). In addition, support is also provided for a
> number of common emoticons in all applications, even on devices which do
> not
> have built-in emoticon support. The list of supported emoticons, along
> with
> the symbols of which they are composed, is found in the Mobile Speak
>
> manual<http://www.codefactory.es/descargas/family_4/ms56_userguide_symbian.html#_Toc299522477>.
>
> - *Support for the Catalan language*. The addition of the Acapela
> Catalan
> Laia voice and Catalan software localization.
> - *Updated Acapela Czech Eliska voice package*, to include patch from
> Acapela which should fix some problems with the character C. Note that
> no
> other voice packages have changed since v5.50.
