Hi all.
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.
