Hi Roger,

Because it is a PC application, I just told you.  Phones do not run on
Windows, they run on the Symbian platform.  Therefore, you can't use a
voice, written for the PC, on a Symbian phone.

All the best

Steve

So why can't I use the RealSpeak Daniel I already have in TextAloud?

Hi Roger,

Again, TextAloud is a PC application. You can't use its voices on any mobile
phone.

However, you can get Daniel for your Talks at a cost of 35 pounds, without
having to upgrade.

All the best

Steve

I apologise it must be too early in the morning for me. I meant TextAloud.

Hi Roger,

I have never heard of TalksAloud, but it will certainly not allow Talks to
speak with its voices, since the drivers have to be signed by the developer
and Nokia for a specific application, so drivers have to be built.

In other words, you can't use another application's voices with Talks as you
can with PC voices.  There is no "SAPI" standard in mobile phones.

All the best

Steve

Hello

I have a Nokia N73 with version 3.52.6 of Talks installed. Fairly old phone
and possibly of Talks but I'm a low user so it suits my needs.  However I'm
not getting to grips with the voice being only able to understand one in
three words it speaks.

I've enquired at the cost of upgrading as I've heard the later versions
voices are supposed to be better and have been told it is a £50 charge. For
my low usage of the phone there is no way I could justify this so I looked
for alternatives. I have TalksAloud, a speech to text application, which has

several voiced including Daniel. It must be possible to load this onto the
phone but I'm a little nervous at doing so without some reassurance. I guess

it would be by using the Nokia PC Suite software but how would I actually
pull out the voice section of TalksAloud?

Any help anyone can give me will be much appreciated.

Roger
