It was a fat finger error made by him. After all, the 5 and 6 are side by
side and use the same finger. <smile> 5.21.3 is the latest version of Talks.
Yes Talks will read the settings for the camera. However there is a list of
things that can be changed along the edge of the screen that Talks doesn't
read. So you would arrow to the selection you want to change and then press
select to then have Talks read all the settings for the selection made.
Depending on the phone, there may be 6 or so different types of selections
to update. No Talks doesn't even see these when using the object viewer. So
you can't do anything with them as far as trying to define any of the
graphics. I think the reason for this is they are part of the phisical
camera view at that point. But like I said, when you select a selection then
Talks will read all the settings for that selection.
Things like white balance, red eye, etc.... can be changed.
Also keep in mind! The camera view will rotate 90 degrees when it is opened!
So this means that your arrow keys also turn 90 degrees. So your normal
Up/Down become Left/Right and your normal Left/Right become your Up/Down.

IF that is all he is wanting to know then yes the latest talks version,
6.21.3, will work with the camera. At least it does on my N85. As for any
other phone all that can be done is to try.

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.

Talks is a screen reader and nothing else. So Talks isn't going to do
any
scanning for you.
The KNFBReader list is going to be your best bet.

Hi, thanks for the informations. 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.
Thanks again, Paulo

Hello.
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.

Subject: [Talks] Using the cell phone as a scanner
Hi listers,
Some of us depend on scanners to read books. 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.
Regards, Paulo
