Hello Scott,

As of version 4.00, Talks and Zooms come together for the same price, £150,
if you purchase a premium license.  This means you can now have both Talks
and Zooms running or either Talks or Zooms.  You can change which view you
wish in the Talks settings.

As of the latest version, 5.01, Zooms now works on fifth edition (touch
screen) phones.  You can change the view to have Talks, Zooms  or Talks and
Zooms, just the same as for third edition phones.  Here is a quote from the
release notification file.

Support for ZOOMS on 5th Edition

The most important improvement in 5.01 concerns the addition of screen magnification support (ZOOMS) for 5th Edition touch screen devices. Users with a Premium license can immediately use this new feature. Please note that you may have to go to Options > View in the Settings window first, and select "TALKS&ZOOMS", in order to see both speech
and magnification related tab sheets.

As on 3rd Edition handsets, ZOOMS tries to follow the current focus on the screen as much as possible. When using "Distributed Views" mode (which is the default setting on 5th Edition phones) you can also see the window title as well as [Key 1] and [Key 2] at
any time without the need for scrolling.

In typical applications ZOOMS can be used most conveniently by scrolling through lists with the volume keys on the side of the phone, and using the touch screen for [Key 1] and [Key 2] or selecting a list item. In any situation, you can just tap a visible part of the
screen shown by ZOOMS, just as you would do without magnification.

In situations where you want to see parts of the screen that are not currently magnified, this can be done in a similar way to "Explore Mode" for speech: simply hold down your finger for about a half a second, and then start moving it around on the screen without
lifting it, to look at other parts of the screen.

ZOOMS automatically turns off magnification when an on-screen virtual keyboard appears, to let you type numbers and letters without having to scroll around to find a
particular key.

I hope this answers your questions satisfactorily.

Best wishes,
