[Talks] Talks and whats app
Hi all I have been off the list for a while and might have missed the discussion about whats app. I am not sure how to find the information in the archives, so if some one can tell me how, or help me, with my query, I'll be very grateful. I am using the latest talks on a nokia E72. Is there a way to use whats app with out talks reading all the funny characters, but still read the full message? Can I add characters and words to the dictionary to make the garbage less? Thanks very much for any help.

Re: [Talks] nokia e71x phones
I have the same problem with my e72. I just don't here the phone ring. I recorded a very long time ago a ringing sound from a, what we called, cricket phone, and that one I here. It is in amr format and I will send it if you want to try it. It is at a high frequency which works for me.

I have difficulty hearing the phone and when I put talks at a louder setting it sounds like my speaker is going to blow. How can I fix this problem or can I? I really like my phone, but, I don't hear it very well in another room and I have to have it right by me to hear it. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. .

Re: [Talks] Using the cell phone as a scanner
What I understand by this question is actually. What phone that support's talks, will have a good enough camera to take pictures of pages that can then be coppeid to a computer and then be read or recognized with a OCR program so that it can be converted to txt or what ever format. Talks will only be used to help the user to use the phone, to take the pictures not to OCR or anything.

So Talks isn't going to do any scanning for you. The KNFBReader list is going to be your best bet. Signed: Stephen Giggar Skype: dr-phone. Hardware eventually fails, software eventually works.

I'm trying to get more info about knfb but I'd like to insist that we should talk about this subject in this list because my intention now is just to picture book pages with the cell phone, not to have the ocr and other speech different from talks. KNFB seems to have different functions such as ocr inside the cell phone and its own speech. But talks users may want just to picture books pages to send it later to the desktop computer. KNFB will be nice if you need to read texts imediatelly. But a lot of talks users may want to picture books to read later. So nokia's phones with talks possibly can help. But we need to know if we can set the phones to macro mode independently, using talks. In nokia's website they say that n95 has macro mode that can focus from 10 centimeters to 50 centimeters. Something around 3 inches to 15 inches. But I wouldn't like to buy n95 just to test if I can do this kind of work. If someone can tell me, yes,, you can picture book pages with n95 and talks, I would buy the phone. I still can find it to buy here in Brazil.

Basically what you are describing is what the K-NFB Reader program does. It works on phones such as the N-86 and N-95. I have it on an N-82 myself. It isn't a function of Talks but a separate program entirely.

I have used flatbed scanners but it's kind of tricky to turn pages over. Yesterday I found some information about the pearl scanner, that works like a camera picturing or photographing book pages. It makes the scanning process much easier because we just need to turn pages with the book on the same position. It's much faster. But the pearl scanner costs about 1500 dollars. If some of nokia's phones can photograph book pages, it's an important extra feature for talks users. If it's a new subject on this list and for talks developers, I guess it's already an important matter to consider. It's related to educational purposes and can make talks even more useful for visually impaired people. But if this idea of using phone cameras as a scanner has already been tryed and tests showed it doesn't work, please let me know. An aunt of mine who's a photographer told me it's fully possible to get book pages with a digital camera with macro function. Some of nokia cameras has macro lenses. I think it's a very important thing for us to research. If you have a n86 or a n95 or any other phone with good lenses, maybe you can check if you can access this camera functions such as macro mode, black and white mode, etc. Well, I know my english is sometimes confusing, so if I said something that is not comprehensible, plese ask me to explain again.

Re: [Talks] QWERTY keypad and Talks
I have never been able to type with my thumbs. I thought that your thumb would be to big for the keys although I know sited people does it like that. Maybe I must try it. Daleen - Original Message - From: "Michelle McQuigge" To: "'Talks Mailing List'" Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 5:35 AM Subject: Re: [Talks] QWERTY keypad and Talks Hi Noni, In my opinion, it's simply a matter of getting used to the keyboard. Many sighted folks look at the keyboard of their ordinary computer, yet people like us are testament to the fact that tactile familiarity is really the only necessity for effective typing. The same goes for the qwerty keyboard. In my case, it took me a few weeks to get used to the keyboard on my E71. The keys felt small, and I wasn't at all used to either the size or the layout. Factor in the foreign idea of typing exclusively with my thumbs and it all felt rather daunting. A year and a half on and I can now send texts or emails just about as quickly as my sighted, blackberry-using friends. I would suggest you take a look at someone's qwerty phone, either with Talks on training mode or with a sighted person on hand to answer questions about specific key positions. I'm afraid it's really the only way to know whether or not it's something you'll be able to get accustomed to.
