Hi Eleanor,
It's a different proposition for phone screen reading software. Microsoft
build in accessibility hooks for JAWS to get hold of. Nokia build in no such
hooks. So it is harder to write a screen reader for a phone, than a PC.
All the best
Steve

Fair points Steve. I tend to keep thinking of talks like Jaws. If Jaws can
be an excellent screen reader then why is talks having to lag behind? Just
a thought.
