this has nothing to do with the original posting, please remember to keep your

most people reading this won't even have a clue what you are referring to as

Simon,

With Nokia phones running Talks, significant memory is achieved by inputting
a large memory card and not per say by internal memory. in general a 32Gb
memory card is quite easily and cheaply obtainable for these phones, and I'm
sure that the newer ones can even take the 64Gb cards.

now looking at feature packed phones which support Talks:

N8, C7 or E7, I don't have the specs here off hand, but if you go to the
Nokia site, these are only three phones, and shouldn't take that long to
review.

they are all Nokia's latest offerings and all run Talks.

Re: [Talks] Nokia Accessibility & Maps - Commentary

2011-02-27 Thread Saqib
I agree whole heartedly with that statement Neil. I would much prefer 
to carry on using My rather Laborious Nokia E5  over using an Apple 
Iphone. Prodoctivity would be the main reason here and I don't know how 
anyone would be able to dial numbers when connected to an banking 
automated system. I could just about manage this with Mobile Speak in 
keypad mode but never achieved it with Talks. I did however look at the 
I-pod Touch yesterday for the first time and have to say that the Voice 
Over sound quality is not good enough to hear in a outdoor environment. 
I was traveling back from Hereford yesterday as I went there for the 
football and I really struggled to hear the Voice Over on my friends 
I-pod Touch. I would still consider purchasing one for media usage at home.

Original message:
although not directly Talks related, it is in fact a defence of Talks 
and indeed this way of doing things.


iPhone gets a lot of praise for a good number of reasons, firstly, yes, 
there's a lot of apps which work out of the box, and these can 
genuinely make your life easier. next up, their products, i mean 
Apple's, are very nice to the touch and you get a feeling of being the 
owner of a modern, sleek, stylish bit of kit when you own one.


but, you need to keep in mind, Apple have a very good way of 
franchising their users, almost turning their users into a massive 
marketing machine working for them, you rarely here and Apple device 
owner slatting it, or even coming close to making any form of 
disparaging remark about it.


does this mean that they are perfect or the route ahead, possibly, but 
not necessarily. do I own one, yes, for the reasons expected, no...


So why buy an APple i device, the apps really has to be the thing, does 
this mean you need an iPhone, no, do it cheaper and get an iPod Touch, 
more storage room, finner design and cheaper both at the outset and long term.


why not get an iPHone, the audio quality during a call is in my 
experience worse than a Nokia and other devices, all the iPhone's I 
have owned, now up at 7 of them, resinate when using the internal ear 
piece during calls when at the top 3 volume settings. the microphone 
also does a poorer job at sound reproduction than say a Nokia.


Voice Over for all its benefits of being so to speak free and right 
there on day one aren't quite true now are they. a new iPhone 4 with 
32Gb of memory will set you back a small fortune on the first day, then 
quite a bit more than a basic phone tariff there after for 24 months. 
do you need all the network carrier chucks in there, probably not, but 
you have no choice.


on the other hand, a basic Nokia or even a pretty dam good one can be 
bought invariably for less, even with a 32Gb memory card, then you can 
opt for a SIM card only tariff on a package that suits you. even 
throwing in a full copy of Talks, you are miles better off.


this is when free doesn't mean free. I would argue that Voice Over is 
not free, but included in the price, there is a big difference in this 
statement.


Do not get me wrong folks, I congratulate Apple for doing this for our 
community, think it is an excellent product, but it does lack many of 
the features of say Talks or Mobile Speak, is difficult to use tone 
menu systems in calls owing to the call volume not dipping below that 
of Voice Over, and other problems, of course Apple could fix these, but 
for now, my view is the Touch is a better choice than the iPhone itself.


its just a view, but as I see more and more people thinking the iPhone 
will solve their problems, i think its fair and wise to point out some 
of these things before folk jump simply as Apple people seem to drink 
the cool ade a little to much for my liking.


I do not wish to move this list away from Talks, so can I just point 
out that this above remark is strictly in the context of helping folk 
to make an informed thought process over Talks / Ms / Voice Over.

[Talks] C5 and Talks Volume

Interesting issues raised by Saqib.  I would like to add that on my C5 the 
Talks volume is very low or else I have suddenly suffered a severe hearing 
loss.  I have to have the volume on maximum (10) when out and then can only 
hear it with all the other environmental sounds.  Very disappointing.  Guess 
it is not a Talks issue but a C5 one.

Hello list,

Is this a known problem?

I have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite on a Windows 7 PC connected to a
fairly new Nokia C5 with a USB cable.

I always sync my calendar and phone between the 2 devices I have done this
with every Nokia phone I have used, with no issues before this time.
.

I have checked the PC Suite Settings many times, and made minor changes to
it to try to kick it a bit, but to no effect.

The phone contacts sync as expected, but the calendar items do not sync at
all.

Any clues please?

Re: [Talks] Nokia Accessibility & Maps - Commentary

2011-02-27 Thread Paul Hopkins
I don't think I suggested that Voiceover was free on Apple products.

It is clearly included in the cost of the product but, there is equity
in that anyone buying an Apple product pays the same.

I am very aware that Apple lock you into their services and products
and to be honest... Over all, I just prefer Nokia, all I can do with
it,  the response of Talks when using it etc.

But, it is inevitable that people are going to consider the jump from
one platform where things seem to be going backwards to one where they
seem to be moving forwards and weighing up the pro's and con's on
either side in the process.  Supply and demand?

The more immediate thing on this thread though was Nokia and lack of
accessibility to their products in a stand alone sense and their
seeming to illude to their accessibility by default when they use
people with a visual impairment to advertise some or all of the phones
merrits.

Cheers.

Paul

the only one who thought the Talks volume on this pone took a big drop in

Interesting issues raised by Saqib.  I would like to add that on my C5 the 
Talks volume is very low or else I have suddenly suffered a severe hearing 
loss.  I have to have the volume on maximum (10) when out and then can 
only hear it with all the other environmental sounds.  Very disappointing. 
Guess it is not a Talks issue but a C5 one.

Re: [Talks] n 8

2011-02-27 Thread Stephen Giggar
One of the question I've started asking people when they start talking about 
the IPhone is I ask them how they are going to use the device. If they are 
going to primary make phone calls on it, then I tell them to look at Nokia 
and Talks. If they want to use it for entertainmend and make very few phone 
calls on it, then the IDevice may be good for them. So if you use your phone 
for phone functions mainly! The Nokia and Talks is the way to go.

Yes, the N8 does work with Talks, but just to clarify, it will at this 
time only work with Talks Premium, so if you are planning on asking 
Vodafone for a Talks standard license this will not work.


so if you do not own a Talks Premium license you will need to purchase 
one from someone like ourselves at www.talknav.com, or if you do, then 
the usual transfer fee applies, again also simply and easily available at 
www.talknav.com


if you have any more questions please do ask.

Why don't you just turn off the keypad lock when in that program. There are 
software packages where you can tell it when i'm in this program, do not lock 
the keypad. I think the makers of RemindMe makes a free package you can install 
on your phone to do this. You can find the link on the blind sea web site under

Re: [Talks] Nokia Accessibility & Maps - Commentary

Hi, Neil!  Only problem is:  Can''t download it to the phone from 
Nokia.  Ovi and PC Suite aren't accessible to do this.  Would rather 
be able to download the maps I need to use.  That way, if cell 
coverage is spotty, but GPS not, I can still navigate and not depend 
on being online.--Matthew Chao


At 01:00 AM 2/27/2011, you wrote:
Can I just clarify, to the very best of my knowledge, Nokia's OVI 
Maps only goes online to calculate a route as and when your route 
travels outside of a currently none downloaded map area.


so for example, if you have downloaded London, and travel from 
anywhere in the Capital to somewhere in the Capital, the entire 
routing is done on the phone and you could do that route in off line 
mode, meaning no cell coverage.


the only time OVI Maps requires the internet is when your route goes 
outside a currently downloaded area, and at which time, certianly 
this used to be the case, OVI would auto download the map area 
required for that element of the journey.

[Talks] Help please inserting SIM card in Nokia E72

2011-02-27 Thread Hussein Patwa
Hi,

Sorry this isn't really Talks related but would anyone who has had or does
have a Nokia E72 be willing to give instructions on how to insert the SIM
card?  I'm pulling on the tray but it only seems to come out half way, and
there is a strange metal pin on the right hand side which doesn't seem to do
anything.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Hussain. As I remember it that tray  has a small gap under it. The 
sim slides in between the tray and the lower metal component. It's a 
bit tricky to get the sim in.

[Talks] Ovi Maps 3.06 for the N86, a question

2011-02-27 Thread Matthew Chao
Hi, Folks!  Noticed that there's an update for Ovi Maps for the N86 
on the Blindsea Web site.  My N86 has Version 
3.04.  Question:  Should I uninstall the older version before 
installing the new one, or can I just overwrite it?  Thanks in 
advance for your help.--Matthew Chao

Re: [Talks] n 8

2011-02-27 Thread Allan
Talks is working fine with N8 but with some side issue.

1. at beginning, you must at least get a sighted help for customizing the new 
homescreen. as a talks user, you will encounter 
problem like:
*adding or removing widgets from the homescreen.
*adding or removing shortcut bar on the homescreen. but after the shortcut bar 
is added, you can easily add or remove icons by 
yourself.
* need a sighted guide to tell you which homescreen page you are located and 
get you to understand more to the structure on the 
homescreen. you can delete any of the 3 homescreen page if you doesn't need 
that much of shortcuts or widgets on the homescreen. you 
can readded when you need it in the future.
* afther you added shortcuts at the shortcut widget, you must lable those icons 
manually as talks will only recognize them as 
"icon".

overall, Talks 5.20 is working very fine in N8. if anyone of you need to know 
more about N8, you can write to me offlist or if 
wanted to share to the list, just ask on the list if the list owner allow it.

Re: [Talks] n 8

2011-02-27 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
Stephen,

that's exactly what I say to people, Apple iOS devices are for consumption, if 
you're listening to music, watching TV  movies, reading e-mail etc, then Voice 
Over and an iOS device are perfect, if you wish to do a fair share of input, 
tex messaging, e-mail writing etc, then a more traditional Nokia with Talks / 
MS is probably a more suited solution.

Re: [Talks] C5 and Talks Volume

2011-02-27 Thread Stephen Giggar
It is only if you plug it into your PC and you have a later copy of PC Suite 
it may alert you that there is a UPDATE for your phone. I would suggest at 
this time, that you not update the firmware if given this notification for 
the C5.


Depending on where you buy the C5 from, it may not have had the firmware 
udpated on it.


In saying the above, if you want the latest OVI Maps and some things like 
that, then you may not have the choice if you want those functions accept to 
upgrade the firmware.

Well in that case I am glad I got my c5 before they
up-graded the fermware, what happens in this situation, does
nokia issue a patch or do we have to wait until they issue a
new full up-grade later in the year? How often do they issue
up-grades. As for the price, I have seen the c5 on amazon

Interesting issues raised by Saqib.  I would like to add

that on my C5 the

Talks volume is very low or else I have suddenly suffered

a severe hearing

loss.  I have to have the volume on maximum (10) when out

and then can

only hear it with all the other environmental sounds.

Very disappointing.

Guess it is not a Talks issue but a C5 one.

thanks for that useful info. I really like the spec list for the N8, 
especially as there now seems to also be a 32gb version of it, but the 
problems people are having over this home screen issue does concirn me a 
bit, as I get hardly any access to any form of sighted assistance, that I 
could use for sorting out issues like those mentioned on the list.
The E7 could have been in the running, but doesn't seem to have any memory 
card slot, is this right?

Simon,

With Nokia phones running Talks, significant memory is achieved by inputting 
a large memory card and not per say by internal memory. in general a 32Gb 
memory card is quite easily and cheaply obtainable for these phones, and I'm 
sure that the newer ones can even take the 64Gb cards.

now looking at feature packed phones which support Talks:

N8, C7 or E7, I don't have the specs here off hand, but if you go to the 
Nokia site, these are only three phones, and shouldn't take that long to 
review.

they are all Nokia's latest offerings and all run Talks.

Have given some serious thought to the IPhone 4 after hearing a couple of

would also like to get some info on the latest phones that will work with 
talks. However, there doesn't seem to be an up to date list of talks phones, 
and the one I did find is now next to useless, as it just gives model

Can I just clarify, to the very best of my knowledge, Nokia's OVI Maps 
only goes online to calculate a route as and when your route travels 
outside of a currently none downloaded map area.


so for example, if you have downloaded London, and travel from anywhere in 
the Capital to somewhere in the Capital, the entire routing is done on the 
phone and you could do that route in off line mode, meaning no cell 
coverage.


the only time OVI Maps requires the internet is when your route goes 
outside a currently downloaded area, and at which time, certianly this 
used to be the case, OVI would auto download the map area required for 
that element of the journey.

there are times when you have no cell coverage, but still have GPS access.

Have you seen the N8 advert on TV at the moment where you have a blind

As far as I know, there is nothing on the N8 in its own right which
makes it accessible enough for a blind person to access it... Third
party software like Talks not withstanding.

How stupid are they at Nokia?

I'm very, very happy to support any genuine effort if they make a
propper effort at accessibility but, for them to make out that all is
good cause they show a few blind people using their products is either
miss guided at best or, down right lies at worse.

So, if anyone does have contacts to decision makers in Nokia who can
listen and take part in good constructive dialogue, I'd be interested
too.
