Thanks Barbara,
 
It may just be the way your message is worded, but did I detect an
implication in their that you no longer use Talks, or that you no longer
use the 3230?  Did you mean that you HAVE found a way of achieving
better results with a different screen reader, or a different phone?
 
Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
 
Tim

Hi Tim
 
I've used Talks and WAP on that particular model of phone and I never
worked out a more efficient way of reading text than a line at a time
with the joystick or as you say, about a screen at a time with the Talks
Button and pressing the joystick down.

        Hi, 

        I've been using talks for about a month, on a Nokkia 3230.  In
general its working really well, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me
a hint as to the most efficient way of reading a web site (e.g. the BBC
weather or news sites).  

        From reading the Talks manual, I haven't found a way of telling
talks to read from the current cursor position to the bottom of the web
page, as with for instance the JAWS say all command.  If I hit the Talks
button followed by down-joystick, Talks reads a sizeable chunk of text
(possibly a screenful) and then stops, arrowing down the screen with the
joystick reads a line at a time but this is a bit of a pain with such
short lines.

        Any ideas? 

        Thanks and regards, 

        Tim Pennick
