It is important to note though that SmartPhones are not the same as Pocket PC phones on which you must install Mobile Speak Pocket.
In addition to support of regular Windows Mobile-based applications, Mobile Speak SmartPhone uses a powerful off-the-shelf scripting language called LUA, thus providing a way to customize the interaction of MSS with applications that haven't been designed using standard controls or a screen reader-compatible Windows user interface.
Moreover, Mobile Speak SmartPhone takes up relatively small program memory, is robust and reliable, fast and responsive, and extensible with user-customizable features. Through its Control Panel, it is possible to fully configure the behavior of MSS with more than 50 different user settings. Configuration settings can be stored in different modes between which the user can switch anytime to suit his/her need or preference.
Mobile Speak SmartPhone is powered by state of the art Text-to-Speech engines provided by top leading speech providers, such as Fonix, Acapela, and soon Loquendo among others. Currently, MSP supports around 20 languages including US and UK English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch (Netherlands and Belgium), Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Turkish, Czech, and many more to come.
Please Note: We currently only license Fonix voices for Mobile Speak SmartPhone Similarly, Mobile Speak Smartphone is a great solution even for Braille-only users as we support more than 15 Braille devices from HumanWare, Handy Tech, Optelec, BAUM, ViewPlus, Eurobraille and ONCE CIDAT.
