Steve
This is excellent. I am dreadful though, unlike your friend Mel, I just listen
to my text messages or e-mails on a long bus journey. Just as well I can't see
the looks from other passangers but I know jthey would not understand it. They
probably think it is some sort of walky talky for my visual impairment and of
course they would be right. Will play around with the Talks.

Hi Eleanor,
Then there is probably not much we can help you with. If you turn on
magnification, then Talks 7 and 8 decrease and increase the zoom factor
respectively. Talks then the call key turns on and off magnification. If it
is on, it will be off, and vice versa. Talks Star puts you into distributed
views, which is OK, but not many use it. Talks long star will invert colours,
so black/white goes to white/black.
Those are the main shortcuts.
Now go into Talks Zooms and have a look at the mag settings themselves, you
can change the speed at which it scrolls, the delay of the scroll, and all
other settings that you can change with the shortcuts.
Finally, if you press Talks Key2 for example to get the signal strength etc
from Talks, Zooms will mag that portion of the screen. If you press Talks Key2
a second time it will mag the other side of the screen, and give you what you
can't see on the first press.
My friend Mel who loves Zooms, mainly uses speech as you do, but on the bus
for example, she likes the idea of being able to read texts in private, and she
said it sometimes helps with pictures.
I hope this gives you enough to go on, but if not, let us know.
All the best
Steve

No I am not having problems with Zooms Steve, probably just need someone to
talk me through how to get the most out of it. i was actually quite surprised
that I could see it, having asked you to put it on at the start, I did not
believe it would be of any use to me whatsoever but then accidentally hitting
it I saw i could read it. It would not be my preferred method of accessing
things but for something like the iPlayer then it would probably be very useful.

Hi Eleanor,
Yes, I will ask her to ring you. Are you having problems with Zooms too?
I am interested from a reseller perspective.
All the best

Hi Eleanor,
Not ohnly that, but there are settings such as invert colours,
distributed views, etc. Zooms is great once you have it set up properly for
your vision, so I am told.
All the best

I understand your comment there Steve because I never thought I could use
the Zooms, that it would not be big enough for me or magnified enough which
might be the correct term but it is!

Hi Paul,
You mean you can see, and you are using a magnifying glass instead of
Zooms? Shame on you <Smile>.
All the best

Hi Steve.
Yes, Vodafone said the same for me too.
They don't know what they are on about half the time.
You can download and install it from:
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
You do need the highest band of connection though, such as wifi.
I have tried, and was successful in finding and starting to listen to a
programme but, accessing it was with the use of my magnifying glass. I guess
you can magnify it with Talks and Zooms, but, I haven't tried that yet.

Hi Paul. According to Vodafone, the iPlayer is not available in this
country yet from a mobile, it's only available in France and Germany I think.
I'm not up on certain connections, but, as far as I can gather you can only do
it by connecting via wifi. I also downloaded it, but like you said, when you
select it, nothing happens...it's because it's asking you to connect via wifi.
That's as much as I know if it's of any help. Cheers Steve.

Hi Everyone
I have the feeling this may have been covered to some extent last
week so apologies if it already has.
I have loaded the BBC IPlayer to my N96 but it is completely
accessible as far as I can tell.
I have Talks on the N96 if that helps anyone to help me, as it were!
If it isn't accessible I will find myself writing a strong letter to
the editor!
Thanks.
