Paragon Software Group Releases InterKey 3.0, the Multilingual
Onscreen Keyboard for Windows Mobile Devices
Fast and Accurate Text Input by Hand or Stylus in 36 Languages and 60 National Layouts

MOSCOW, Russia – July 15, 2008 - Paragon Software Group, a leading software developer of productivity, security and educational applications for mobile devices and desktop PCs, releases InterKey 3.0 – a multilingual text input application for Windows Mobile Pocket PC. Due to large and fingertip-friendly keys, text input by hand or stylus becomes effortless, and typing foreign languages on a standard keyboard is fast and accurate. The program is available in two editions – InterKey 3.0 Standard and InterKey 3.0 Professional with word autocompletion function.

With the key zooming function, users no longer have to closely follow what they are typing. The selected key appears larger on the screen and the character is only typed when the user releases his finger. If the wrong key is touched and an incorrect letter is zoomed on the screen, all the user has to do is slide his finger or stylus to the proper key and keep on typing.

InterKey 3.0 features include:

Multilingual layouts – the handy onscreen keyboard contains 60 national layouts that allow users to write in 36 languages and to quickly switch between languages.
Several text input options – users can switch to the standard keyboard or use keys large enough for finger typing.
Precise input – the zooming key feature reduces mistypes by zooming the keys being touched.
Special keystrokes known as gestures (space, uppercase, and others) allow all the advantages of a standard keyboard, such as quick entry of uppercase, preceding character erasing, and other important functions.
Word completion function (available in the Professional Edition) allows frequently used words to be typed more quickly and easily by implementing the dictionary structure, and by auto-completing frequently used words. All new words, once entered, will be automatically added to the word database.
New ergonomic layout design of the onscreen keyboard is an extra plus to the already easy to use working schema and rich functionality of the program.

The InterKey 3.0 Standard Edition is available for 24,95 USD and the InterKey 3.0 Professional edition – for 34,95 USD via download from http://www.penreader.com.

Supported languages: Albanian, Belarusian, Belgian, Brazilian, Bulgarian, Canadian Multilingual, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, French Canadian, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latin American, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss French, Swiss German, Turkish, Ukrainian, US Dvorak.

Paragon Software Group präsentiert neue Version Handy Blacklist 3.0, den zuverlässigen Schutz gegen unerwünschte Anrufe

Mehr Sicherheit für S60 Smartphones wird auf der CeBIT 2008 vorgestellt

Freiburg, Februar 29, 2008 – Die Abteilung Epocware der Paragon Software Group präsentiert Handy Blacklist 3.0 für S60 3rd Edition-Geräte auf Symbian OS. Handy Blacklist 3.0 schützt die Privat¬sphäre von Handy-Nutzern, indem es unerwünschte Anrufe blockiert. Das spart Zeit und Nerven.

Mit dem Programm lassen sich Telefonnummern von unerwünschten Anrufern unterdrücken und gleichzeitig dauerhaft oder auch nur vorübergehend auf eine schwarze Liste setzen. Damit schützt sich der Handyeigentümer vor lästigen Anrufen von Callcentern, Unbekannten und Bekannten. Alle blockierten Anrufe und Mitteilungen werden in einer Log-Datei gespeichert.

Auch eine weiße Liste lässt sich einfach erstellen: auf dieser stehen alle Personen, deren Anrufe durchkommen sollen, während alle anderen abgelehnt werden. Per Knopfdruck auf „Reject“ können selbst unerwünschte Textmitteilungen an den Absender zurückgeschickt werden. Damit keine wichtigen Anrufe übersehen werden, zeigt Handy Blacklist 3.0 ein Protokoll der entgangenen Anrufe an. Zusätzlich steht im Display, ob gerade die weiße oder die schwarze Liste aktiv ist.
