Hi. Ok. I suggest that you connect your talks mobile phone
to your pc and
copy/paste your contacts from the phone's directory that way
... \I have
done the same thing myself, I personally know no other way.
Re the text
size, no, there is no limit, although once you by-pass the
size of a single
text, you will, of course, be charged more than once, if
you're paying text
by text, depending on your tarif. And finally, you can make
arrangements to
have calls diverted from one phone to another, but I'm not
altogether sure
about texts? It's something I've never looked into. I hope
that's
everything. Hope this is helpful. Jennie.

Subject: [talks-uk] A few questions
Hi
I am using talks. Is there a way for me to copy my
contacts
list and save it as a text file so that I can copy them
into
my address book in the pc?
Also, is there a limit on the number of words in a text
message?
I have another mobile phone that won't take talks. Is
there
a way for me to forward the messages from that phone
number
to my other phone with talks automatically?
Regards
Adrien

Hi Carol and all:
I haven't tried it for myself so I might have completely
the wrong end of the stick but the way I read it, if you
tell talks that you are using a Braille display then it
will transmit information about what is on the phone
screen via bluetooth. The cobra screenreader is actually
pairing your computer with the phone rather than a
Braille display and so it can display your phone
interface on your PC. If you have a Braille display
connected to your PC, then you can red the contents of
the pc screen in the same way that you can in any
application and this includes the pc display of your
phone interface.
In short, kobra is taking advantage of the fact that
talks lets you control your phone from an external
device, usually a Braille display, but in this case using
you PC instead.

Yeah, but you're not telling me anything, Chris ...
Have you tried it?
What have you done?
Have you seen a list of which braille displays are
supported?
How does it work with PC and Talks? This I don't
understand!
Please tell us more.

So you buy Cobra but can use the braille part free,
presumably only if you're using Cobra then? Have you
got it working yet Chris? How do you work it with your
PC?

Hi all.
I want to tell you about a PC-based screen reader
called Cobra and how it can work with your Talks
compatible mobile phone. One of the many powerful and
unique features of Cobra is
a mobile phone monitor. This feature not only displays
the output of your phone, but also allows you to use
it
right from your PC keyboard. Here is how you would set
this all up: 1. Download and Install Cobra, which you
can try for free from www.baum.de/cms/en/cobra/.
2. Download and Install Talks Braille Interface (TBI),
which you can use for free from
www.baum.de/cms/en/support/. 3. Make sure your PC
supports bluetooth. Set up the
adaptor so you have an incoming serial port. The
Windows "Standard Bluetooth over Serial Link" driver
will work just fine. Pair the PC with the phone. 4. In
Cobra, press the Cobra key, which is the caps lock
key by default, hold it, and press the letter m. This
will display the mobile phone monitor. Select your
bluetooth serial port in the list and press enter. 5.
Now, on the phone, use the Talks command to change the
Braille output from none to "Talks Braille Interface".
This is Talks long end. 6. Select the name of your PC
in the list of bluetooth
devices, and Talks should say, "Talks Braille
Interface
loaded". From this point on, the PC monitor will
display what is
on the phone's screen, which in turn sends it to
Cobra's speech synthesizer/Braille display for output.
You will also be able to control the phone directly
using the PC keyboard, including sending of text
messages and amending
calendar appointments. If you have any problems or
further queries with this or
anything to do with Cobra, please ask on or off list.
Many thanks. I hope you found this useful.
Take care.
