yes, reading of web pages with talks is frankly unpredictable and flaky. This
is due to the fact that Nokia does not offer any help like browsers such as
Internet Explorer do so that the screenreader has to read just what is visible
on screen.
It is unfortunate though that Nuance does not seem to put any information on
the site about what is new in each release. all in all this is not good since
as you say it is difficult to decide on when to upgrade.
On the subject of those extra programs, they are in the main quite useful,
though Mini GPS is not that good as you can't save cell information unless you
know where you are and it does not seem possible to share cell data with
others. The voice recorder program is however quite useful and the advanced
profiles program will probably be useful for some.
Cheers

Hi Kevin,
I recently installed V3. I hadn't previously installed the freebie extras
like Mini-GPS, and V3 installation stuff I read alerted me to the fact that I
could install these at the same time. Having installed version 3 and the
freebies, I think the response of my phone is slightly better when scrolling
down the menu etc, but the one thing I hoped they'd fix, doesn't seem to have
changed. That's the feature that says you can read from cursor position, which
I think is Talks-key and down-arrow. When looking at a web site such as the
BBC News PDA enabled page, I'd like to be able to initiate this reading and let
it read me the whole page as per JAWS SAY-ALL, but I think it only reads the
text that's visible on the phones display. This makes reading a web page much
less convenient, and mainly means that I don't bother.
I've also had a couple of instances since installing the upgrade and the
extra applications, where my phone has failed to recognise the SIM card when
I've re-booted it.
Although I'm a sucker for an upgrade, if you're happy with the current
performance of TALKS 2.5, I'm not sure the upgrade is worth the effort.
I think that whether or not you're entitled to a free upgrade depends on how
long you've had your TALKS license. I contacted Steve Nutt who checked my EMEI
(I think) number and told me that I was entitled to a free upgrade.
One more point that's just occurred to me is that I think that TALKS 3 is
supposed to work better with Wayfinder if that makes any difference.
Regards,
Tim

Hi
I currently have Talks v2.51.4 on my phone and it's working extremely well.
Can anybody tell me if I can simply install V3 on my phone or is this a paid
upgrade? Also, what's new in V3? It's a pity there isn't a 'What's New' or
version history documentation on the Nuance site.
Thanks.
Cheers
Kevin

HI All,
I've been off this list for a while, and must have missed something
vital. Release of TALKS? Do you mean release of a new version, or for
a new platform, and the reference to FS in this context in another mail
message is tantalising.
I've just installed Talks 3 on my Nokkia phone, is there a version
coming out for one of the cut-down versions of Windows?
Regards,
Tim Pennick

Hi all
Just wondering, is www.nuance.com the best place to check for news of
the release of TALKS? We are still waiting...Perhaps Christmas?...2006?
