I'm sure its £35 for the extra voices. They were £27 so I don't know their reasoning for the price increase as we haven't had any extre voices to speak of. It's always been the Real Speak and the VCM voices.

Hi Roger.

also steve can answer this one but I did not think it was £50 for an extra
voice, I thought it was about £27 instead.  still pricey if you don't have
the money obviously but better than £50!

Cheers

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
