Hi
I have been reading these messages with interest. I have
only just got my first mobile phone with talks last year. I
hope my phone will last a while. By the time it wears out, I
should think there will be some kind of alternative on the
market that we can use. At one time, I think dolphin
produced some kind of mobile software, this could be their
chance to jump back on to the band wagon. I also think that
if nuance got rid of talks, someone would by it up and
change it to work on the new platforms, I am not technically
minded but I would hope that we will always have an option
between iphon/ipod and voice over and something else.
On the subject of iphones, I hope to be getting wifi soon,
it will be wimax, would a iphone or ipod work on wifi? I
have very good 3g internet around here.
Regards
Adrien

Android accessibility is on its way but still half baked and
for early
adopter geeks who like playing with this stuff. As far as I
can tell.

Oh dear. It does seem like Apple is the only viable option.
Is there
any access with the Android system?
Cheers

But I'd rather presumed that MobileSpeak was also dead in
the water
because it works on Windows, and, as discussed, the new
Windows Mobile 7
operating system is inaccessible. I understood that
MobileSpeak were
working on other income streams to stay afloat. These were
just rumours
but they seem to make sense unless a big access solution is
pending very
soon with Windows.
What is the future for Talks?
I note that Nuance has created some kind of app that works
on the
iPhone. I think it's just provision of speech synthesis.

Perhaps we could switch to Mobilespeak? Yes, it means that
any of our
investment in Talks is going to go to waste, and also means
that we have
to pay for another speech software system, but it's an
option.
Cheers
Barry

Nokia have today announced that they are partnering with
MicroSoft and
will be using the Microsoft Windows Mobile 7 operating
system which is
presently inaccessible.
The noise suggests that the Symbian operating system, which
Talks runs
on, will be sidelined.
So, by extension, does this mean that Talks is now dead in
the water?
I speak as a long time Talks user who would be a bit
disappointed if so.
Is Apple iPhone the only choice left now?
