New features and download link is given below, taken from Code Factory's website.
Support for Symbian Belle FP1 including the Nokia 808 PureView
Mobile Speak v5.80 provides full support for devices running the latest Symbian Belle Feature Pack 1 (FP1). This includes the recently released Nokia 808 PureView, widely recognized as the world's finest camera phone with its 41 MP sensor and PureView technology. Other devices which support the Belle FP1 firmware include the Nokia 603, 700 and 701, where it is available as a recommended software upgrade. Belle FP1 offer many improvements and new features including:
- Increases the speed of the processor from 1.0 to 1.3GHz, for improved response time and performance.
- Adds new homescreen widgets, most of which are accessible with Mobile Speak.
- Introduces an updated and more responsive version of the web browser (v8.2).
Support for WhatsApp
Mobile Speak v5.80 provides full support for WhatsApp, the immensely popular messaging application. We recommend using v2.6.97, which is the latest version at the time of release of Mobile Speak v5.80. Features of WhatsApp that are now fully accessible include:
- On opening WhatsApp for the first time, or when changing the SIM card, the screen where you enter country code and phone number, as well as the following screen where you enter your display name (optional). Note that once WhatsApp opens, it may remain silent for a few seconds while initialization is performed - during these seconds, no speech output will be heard.
- Chat lists, Favorite lists, Contact lists and current Status list.
- When viewing a chat: focus is first placed on the edit field where you can enter the message that you wish to send. To view all messages that were previously sent in the current chat, use the joystick up/down key to navigate message-by-message. The message will be spoken, along with the time it was sent. When moving to messages from a different date, the new date will also be spoken. Note that you can write your reply at any time, even if currently focusing on a previous message.
- Group chats (including speaking the name of the sender of each message).
- Sending and receiving media attachments (e.g. Images, Video, Audio). To send an attachment while in a chat, press Options > Send media.
- In chat view: when moving left/right from the edit field (depending on phone model), focus is placed on an emoticon table. Press Enter to open the table (alternatively, the table can be opened in Options > Insert emoji). The first sheet of the table opens (there are 5 sheets in total, each with around 100 different emoticons), and Mobile Speak will speak the index number of the emoticon as you move around the table, so it would be necessary to memorize the index of the emoticon of interest if you wish to insert emoticons from the table (e.g. in Sheet 1: 1 = big smile, 2 = smile, 3 = laugh, 4 = smile, 5 = wink). Apart from speaking the index in the table, Mobile Speak will speak the meaning of the most common emoticons once they are in the message view. In addition, as in previous versions of Mobile Speak, emoticons which are sent/received using punctuation symbols will also be spoken.
- All settings found in Options > Settings.
- In Options > About from the Main screen, the list of 6 items which are available from the screen are accessible when moving up/down the list. Press Command + # in this screen to speak the version of WhatsApp. Note however that the "Network usage" screen is not yet accessible.
