Dear Allen: You may want to be a little more polite and not criticize those
trying to help you!!!!!!! I have seen Stephen on many list and he knows a
lot about all types of phones. So my point is you asked for help saying you
don't know to those trying to help you is not gonna help you. That's just
my opinion.

The issue with having to mute Talks when going through the ring tones in
the profiles is probably a phone issue and priority
settings for the App. Specific settings with Talks. More then likely
there is a reason it is set like this on the N8. Probably you
would totally lose speech if the priority was set to something different.
Rmember this is controled in the App. specific Settings.
I dont touch anything in app. specific setting at all, it is by default
talks installation. furthermore, when i muted talks, the
ringtones played.
I'm not for sure what you are talking about when you say switching
between the home screens and what you are expecting. Are you
saying in the program to switch between the home screens the options
aren't read? Or are you saying when you finally switch to the
home screen of your selection that information isn't read each and every
time you exit the menu?
forgive my words, you are not sure is just because you dont have
experience with a ^3 device. let me tell you, by default, in S^3
phones, there're 3 homescreen for keeping shortcuts unlike the old S60 3rd
and 5th edition phones only have one homescreen at a
time. for this case, there's a special middle button appear on the screen
for swiching between these 3 homescreens. so, for a
sighted, they can see the screen changes when pressing this button, but
for talks user, you wouldn't realize the screen changes from
one page to another page.
For getting the time, don't you get the Talks selection when you press
the Talks key? This bring up a list of many different
things. Also isn't the time there when you explore the screen IE if you
just slide your finger around the sreen? Probably is near
the top of the screen. In that case, you don't need a keystroke, after
all it is a touch screen phone!
1. this features appear in 5th edition phones, but missing in S^3.
2. yes, you can get the time while exploring the screen, but not date.
3. it is a very big trouble for someone to get a time/date announcement if
each time have to unlock the phone and only touch the
screen to get the announcement.
The number 5 for the Talks power key options, that doesn't sound like a
bug but a suggestion.
For the last one, did you try changing some of the Talks settings like
turning off the characters and setting it to speech numbers
as digits?
that is why i said you dont have experience with S^3 phones. if you have
experience with iPhone, you will understand what i mean
here. when exploring the screen while the numbering virtual keypad is
open, last time, talks will only announce the number
corresponding to what you touch, but for now, talks will also announce
together with the alpha character as i rote below.

Hi all,
perhaps not many of you interested to use touchscreen phone, but i know
there're people love to use it, especially myself. here i
going to share a little bug finding regarding talks 5.2 work together
with
nokia n8.
1. profile: must mute talks to hear the ringtones while arrowing the list
of tones when use eloquence symthesizer.
2. homescreen: talks does not announce whether it is homescreen1,
homescreen2 or homescreen3 while switching between these 3
homescreens.
3. homescreen: must ask for a sighted assistant when need to customize or
edit application shortcut at the homescreen.
4. talks keystroke: there's no keystroke to read date/time, or perhaps i
didnt find it.
5. talks keystroke: it is too clumsy to press talks+power to answer/call
and talks+longPower for hang off calls, because the power
button too small. it'd be better if it is talks+camera and
talks+longCamera respectively.
6. virtual keyboard: while dialing a number on the virtual keyboard,
talks
now read the alpha related to key number 2 until number
9, e.g. 2abc, 3def, 4ghi, 5jkl, and etc. but i think it would be better
if
talks can read like this:
2ABC
3DEF
4GHI
5JKL
6MNO
7PQRS
8TUV
9WXYZ
rather than:
2abc
3def
4ghi
5jkl
6mno
7pqrs
8tuv
9wxyz
it's sounded funny to me.
that's all for now. if i found any bugs or problems, i will post again.
