I've just had another look at the manual, and it looks as though they're
heading in the right direction but haven't quite got there yet.  The
Talks + down, key sequence says that in a text context it reads all the
text from the cursor, but in a web browsing context it reads the text
from the cursor to the next object.  Let's hope this is something
they'll enhance soon as listening to web based news etc on a phone seems
to be a really useful facility when travelling by train etc but at the
moment pressing the joystick for each new line is a bit of a pain.
 
By the way, how do Nuance advise of upgrades?  
 
Regards,
 
Tim

Hi Tim.
 
I don't think there is any better way at the moment as Talks reads based
on the screen rather than on underlying HTML or code.
 
Let's hope things continue to develop.

        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
