[access-uk] Re: Mobile speak vs talx

Hi Phil,
I don't really know what to say as, I've not had the pleasure of looking at
both and making a comparison.  i got talx during March of this year and, I
was surprised how easy it was to use.  i was filling up my address book on
the same day as getting my phone back with talx!  Crazy! but, it's brillant!
especially when even peering at the phone and still not seeing what's
written on screen, talx can be a god send.
I wasn't sure really what to get at first as, mobile accessibility was doing
the rounds the time I was deciding what to do.

I think, whatever you go for is dependent on your level of vision and
whether you can work with magnification on low.  if you use low
magnification ( I have it set high) then, I'm guessing you'd be able to use
the magnification on a mobile phone without much hassle.  For me, the
smaller the screen, the more screan reader needs I'll have.
