Coming Soon Mobile Speak 4 by Code Factory, by Eduard Sánchez, CEO
At
Techshare, London, on Thursday, the 17th, Caroline Ragot, Code
Factory’s Marketing Director presented a paper entitled Touch Screen
Mobile Phones, A New Challenge for Accessibility. Code Factory chose
Techshare 2009 to showcase, for the first time ever, Mobile Speak
Touch, Mobile Speak’s revolutionary new touch interface.
I hope you enjoy this 58 minute Podcast in which I interview Jim
King, David Poelman, and Courtney Tater; three beta testers of Code
Factory’s latest GPS software application for mobile devices, Mobile
Geo.
Code Factory is the developer of Mobile Speak, the world’s leading
screen reading, screen magnification, and Braille interface program for
mobile devices. It provides accessibility to blind and low vision
users of wireless products such as cell phones and pocket PCs.
INTRODUCTION
Recently, I received several emails requesting that I make a
recommendation for an accessible medication prescription reminder
application that can be used on a mobile device.
While there are both commercial and free medication prescription
reminder applications available for use on a mobile device, I cannot
recommend them at this time for several reasons not the least of which
being that they are not comfortably accessible with screen reading
software, like Mobile Speak, for the blind and low vision.
Not to worry my friends for as is often the case, Google provides a
free, easy-to-use, and reliable tool that will remind you when to take
your medicine. Read More…
I invite you to, like me, start tripping
with TripIt.
TripIt is a personal travel assistant that automatically organizes
all your travel plans. TripIt is free and makes it easy to (1) quickly
organize all your travel plans — flights, hotels, cars, trains, cruises
and more; (2) automatically get itineraries with all your plans,
weather, maps, restaurants and more; (3) easily access your itineraries
via paper, email, personal calendar or mobile device; and (4) share
your trips and see where you overlap with friends and colleagues. Read More…
This is for those using Windows Mobile 6.1 wireless devices.
As you know, WM 6.1 now displays SMS (text messages) in what is
referred to as threaded or conversation view. This makes a text
message conversation appear similar to that of an instant message
complete with a text message history.
NOTE 1:
Please be aware that the following information applies to the Standard
Edition of Windows Mobile 6.1 ( for Smart Phones) as opposed to WM6.1
Professional (Pocket PCs) because as a general rule, WM6.1 Pro has a
bit more functionality; hence Pocket PC users may find the information
in this article either redundant or unnecessary.
NOTE 2:
At the time of this writing, Windows Mobile 6.1 Smart Phone users do
not have a direct option to disable SMS conversation/threaded mode.
Currently, Smart Phone users may either download third-party
applications that will disable this mode or they may modify the Windows
Mobile 6.1 Registry (for advanced users, only).
“So Mark, what is the difference between Symbian and Windows Mobile phones?”
Hello Everyone,
Regardless of how many times I am asked the above question, I cannot
find a succinct and satisfactory answer. Does such an answer even
exist? I do not know but I can tell you that the following article
brilliantly written by CNET’s Rick Broida (May 2, 2008), entitled
CNET’s Quick Guide to Handheld Operating Systems, makes me oh so aware
of the difference they, the operating systems that is, make in my life.

SAN FRANCISCO–Nokia took aim at smartphone rival Research in Motion
Tuesday with plans to expand the number of devices that will
automatically be capable of accessing Microsoft corporate e-mail. Read More…
