The output is displayed on a normal PC monitor. The output is then sent to Cobra to be processed either via speech and/or Braille.

No, you do not need a physical display to use Talks with Cobra. Cobra just provides a way to interact with your mobile phone, as well as view the phone's output, all from your PC. I explained originally how it's done I think. Yes I got it working with a few trial and errors.

Have you got it working yet Chris?

I want to tell you about a PC-based screen reader called Cobra and how it can work with your Talks compatible mobile phone. One of the many powerful and unique features of Cobra is a mobile phone monitor. This feature not only displays the output of your phone, but also allows you to use it right from your PC keyboard. Here is how you would set this all up: 1. Download and Install Cobra, which you can try for free from www.baum.de/cms/en/cobra/. 2. Download and Install Talks Braille Interface (TBI), which you can use for free from www.baum.de/cms/en/support/. 3. Make sure your PC supports bluetooth. Set up the adaptor so you have an incoming serial port. The Windows "Standard Bluetooth over Serial Link" driver will work just fine. Pair the PC with the phone. 4. In Cobra, press the Cobra key, which is the caps lock key by default, hold it, and press the letter m. This will display the mobile phone monitor. Select your bluetooth serial port in the list and press enter. 5. Now, on the phone, use the Talks command to change the Braille output from none to "Talks Braille Interface". This is Talks long end. 6. Select the name of your PC in the list of bluetooth devices, and Talks should say, "Talks Braille Interface loaded". From this point on, the PC monitor will display what is on the phone's screen, which in turn sends it to Cobra's speech synthesizer/Braille display for output. You will also be able to control the phone directly using the PC keyboard, including sending of text messages and amending calendar appointments. If you have any problems or further queries with this or anything to do with Cobra, please ask on or off list. Many thanks. I hope you found this useful. Take care. -- Chris H You can contact me in the following ways: E-mail and Facebook: challsworth2@xxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Blog: http://chrishallsworth.klangoblogs.net
