[access-uk] Re: Mobile speak vs talx

Thanks Justin,

Screen magnification isn't an issue - which is a bit of a shame as the 6600
seems to have a quite large screen!

So it's speech only hence a comparison between Code Factory 'Mobile speak'
and Talx was what I'm after.

On a related point, have tried to work out what options I have for
transferring data from phone to pc - I know the phone can do Bluetooth and
infrared but there's so many options it's quite confusing really - anyone
give an idea of what sort of price I'm looking at for Bluetooth connection
between phone & pc - and how does this compare with standard cable option.

yes, I have looked but mobile phone sites are a nightmare although I think I
got a good deal from Dialaphone but had to ring them up to find out what
deals they had!

Oh the brave new world of mobile phones & speech!!

Cheers,

Phil
