What is FluencyPal?
FluencyPal is a software that is designed to run on S60 Symbian mobile phones.
What are Symbian S60 mobile phones?
Symbian S60 mobile phones are the mobile phones that are built upon a combination of the Symbian
operating system and S60 platform. Symbian operating system is developed by Symbian Limited and is the
world-leading open operating system that powers the most popular and advanced smartphones today. S60
is the user interface platform developed by Nokia. Some of the world's leading S60 handset manufacturers
include Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG Electronics, Lenovo and Siemens.
Symbian OS is an operating system for smartphones, much like the Windows operating system for your PC.
Symbian phones therefore allows you to install applications such as FluencyPal on your phone just like
Windows allows you to install applications onto your PC. In contrast, many old model mobile phones employ
proprietary such as Nokia operating system, which do not allow any third-party applications to install and run.

What is the phone's IMEI?
IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a unique 15-digit serial number for your Nokia
mobile phone. You can view it by entering *#06# on your mobile phone. It can also be found on the back of
the device, usually on the compliance plate under the battery compartment. The IMEI format is:
123456-12-123456-1.
Please be sure that you provide the correct IMEI number or the password provided will not work with
FluencyPal.
Why does FluencyPal work only with some specific phone models?
FluencyPal takes advantages of the hardware capabilities that exist only in some but not all mobile phones.
The current version of FluencyPal supports Nokia 6630, 6680, 6681, 6681, N70, N72, and N90 handsets.
Will FluencyPal work with newer phone models such as E61, E62, E90, N95?
The versions of FluencyPal that support these new phone models will be released shortly in the future.
How does FluencyPal compare to the SpeechEasy or other DAF devices?
Both FluencyPal and SpeechEasy implement delayed auditory feedback (DAF). Both solutions are portable.
However FluencyPal is a software application and thus offers a significantly more affordable solution as
compared to the SpeechEasy or other hardware-based manufactured DAF devices. FluencyPal takes
advantages of the increasingly powerful capabilities and features of the modern mobile phones, which also
offer other general purposes such as voice calls, emails, Internet browsing - to name just a few.
SpeechEasy and other DAF devices, on the other hand, must make its own micro-processor, which
specifically designed to implement AAF, and thus are much more expensive.
