Mobile Speak Pocket
Pocket PC devices, or handheld computers as they are also known, have been available for some years. They have become very popular among mobile professionals, students or anyone who wants to have instant access to their critical data such as appointments, contacts, notes or documents at work, at school or on the move. Rapid advances in this field have enabled Pocket PC devices to provide access to e-mail and the Internet through wired as well as wireless technologies. Some of the Pocket PC devices also include a GSM or CDMA cell phone, making it the ultimate convergence device. With Mobile Speak Pocket, the user has complete access to the applications on a Pocket PC device such as Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel and Windows Media Player.

Testimonial for Mobile Speak Pocket HP iPAQ and Code Factory's Mobile Speak Pocket make technology accessible for visually impaired people. An HP Success Story “With Mobile Speak Pocket (MSP), I can browse the Internet, send and receive e-mails, chat with my friends on MSN Messenger, and stream audio and video from my PC to my HP iPAQ. It's allowed me to enjoy the best summer for a few years and still be in contact with the world,” says Tom Johnson, who lost his sight due to Marfans Syndrome, but went on to achieve an accounting degree. Tom Johnston is 23 years old and lives in Leicester, UK. He lost his sight due to Marfans Syndrome, a condition that affects the body's connective tissue, but after studying at a boarding school for students who are blind in Worcester, he went on to achieve an accounting degree at Loughborough University. Tom is now an independent accessibility consultant, checking out websites for accessibility to people who are blind or with visual impairments and proofreading Braille documents. A self-styled technology enthusiast, he also designs and builds computer systems and networks for clients and is a big fan of both playing and listening to music. Tied to Desktop Speech software is important to both Tom's working and social life and he runs Freedom Scientific's JAWS for Windows screen reader on the main PC in his home. However, this tied Tom to the computer in his room and he wanted more freedom. He found it with a wireless HP iPAQ Pocket PC and Mobile Speak Pocket (MSP) screen reading software from Barcelona-based Code Factory S.L., an HP Assistive Technology Partner. Not only does MSP read the screen of your PDA and convert the visual information into speech, it can also be connected to a Braille writing or reading device. It works with most mainstream Pocket PCs including the HP iPAQ line, and is now available in 20 languages and 55 countries. Ease of Use “I had owned Mobile Speak for my mobile phone for some time and knew the quality of Code Factory products,” said Tom. “As soon as I discovered that PDAs were finally going to become accessible through MSP, I couldn't wait to see how well it worked. I was not disappointed. “I installed MSP on my HP iPAQ and immediately began configuring it to work with my wireless network and mobile phone. Access to the relevant settings is easy and even though I don't have a separate keyboard or thumb-board, Code Factory's virtual keyboard makes inputting text and passwords no trouble at all.” Keeping in Contact Being able to use his HP iPAQ assists Tom in his work because he is no longer tied to the PC in his room for proof reading new products or other technical tasks. Having bought a 2 GB flash drive, he also takes it on train journeys when he travels around the country to visit friends, taking music, movies and text to read on the way. “With MSP, I can browse the Internet, send and receive e-mails, chat with my friends on MSN Messenger and stream audio and video from my PC to my HP iPAQ,” added Tom. “It's allowed me to enjoy the best summer for a few years and still be in contact with the world.” Read the whole story at the HP Accessibility Website and learn why for Tom Johnson Mobile Speak Pocket is one of the best notetaking solutions currently available on the market.
