Hi all! When it comes to using talks or mobile speak the big answer is it depends upon the operating system for the cell phone. talks works on symbian phones which tradditionally only work on the "gsm" network which is what exists in europe, and some providers like rogers. mobile speak runs on phones that have the windows mobile operating system. In Saskachewan canada the phone company SaskTel uses cell phones that use the "cdma" network, as compared to the "gsm" found in europe. "the CDMA type of network is what is used a lot in north america. Anyways the Windows mobile operating system is very much like windows, and the mobile speak program permits complete access to the cell phone using the windows mobile operating system. Windows mobile 6 is very much like windows we all use on our desktops, my phone has internet explorer, outlook express etc... I recently purchased mobile speak and am running it on a windows mobile 6 cell phone called a utstar.com 5800. The mobile speak can use numerous different voices. check out the web site www.codefactory.es and you can listen to all the options. one neat aspect of the mobile speak program is that a person with the new version 2.-0 purchases a license for the package and can easily move it from phone to phone as you upgrade to newer models. So the big question is what operating system the cell phone uses, will determine talks or mobile speak. Codefactory permits a 30 day trial of the software as well and its available over the net as well. also there is a list of cell phones that mobile speak works with on the code factory as well.
