NOTICE OF NEW SUPPORTED PHONES AND TRIAL VERSION NOW AVAILABLE

This notice is being distributed to announce two important developments intended to make K-NFB Reading Technology's Mobile Reader products more widely available throughout the United States and around the world. These changes have also required a new release, version 6.3.1, of the Mobile Reader software now available for download at knfbreader.com. Please note, aside from the new capabilities described below, the functionality of version 6.3.1 is identical to version 6.1.11. Therefore, installation of this version is not considered necessary for current users.

NEW SUPPORTED PHONES

The phones now supported with the initial release of version 6.3 are the Nokia E71 (best used with the kReader Mobile), N79, N82, N85, N86, N95 8 GB, N95 North American model, and the Nokia 6220 Classic. Please note that changes in phone models and availability must be expected. However, phones which become unavailable from suppliers will continue to be supported for use with the Mobile Reader software as changes are made to support newer phones and models as they become available. This applies at present to the N82 and the 6220 Classic.

This page includes important information about each supported phone as well as links to obtain detailed specifications. Please check back periodically to keep up to date as more phones are added to the list. Checking with various suppliers for availability and price is recommended.

TRIAL VERSION

We have been asked to provide a trial version of each Mobile Reader application which dealers can use for product promotion. Therefore, this capability is included in version 6.3.1. The trial is a full version of the kReader Mobile or the knfbReader Mobile. However, the trial will only operate for 14 days from the time of activation. The procedures used to install and activate the trial version are identical to the purchased product, but special trial licenses must be obtained from K-NFB Reading Technology's technical support service. Please contact support (at) knfbreader.com or call 877-547-1500 to request trial licenses for use with your customers. Providing initial hands-on training to potential customers to explain how best to take pictures and read successfully is recommended before turning them loose to learn the benefits of this product for themselves.
