Not much help but there was a gentleman once on this list and he had no problems using N8 without vision. Why did you choose this form of touch screen when there are so many other softwares and phones that are touch screen but not with Talks. There is a chapter in the Talks manual which should be helpful but I cannot recall the chapter number. You might consider a bluetooth keyboard if you are writing long e-mails or doing a lot of reading on-line. With the virtual keyboard on the touch screen, you can opt for the qwerty style or the mumeric. I really think the numeric would be preferable. Even my niece who is fully sighted and uses N8 prefers the numeric keyboard. What uses are you going to put the phone to? Example making and receiving calls only or for e-mail and Internet also? There is an app which you could purchase or maybe it is incorporated in the software called Vlingo, you can then use your voice to bring up someone's telephone number and call them but to do this you cannot have multiple numbers for that person all together under the one name. You do not tell us if you have ever used Talks before or if you are coming to it totally new. There is a standby screen and you can have a number of these screens where you can have all the popular apps that you use. I have an E6 which has touch screen but in addition a qwerty keyboard. You may want to find out if you can lock your screen in portrait or landscape. There is a certain amount of difficulty where you call a number and from there you have to keep selecting other numeric options. If it is a regular number and you know the sequence of numbers to press then this configuration can be stored. Let us know if you are familiar with the soft keys 1 - 5 on a touch screen. Soft keys 3 - 5 are only present in certain situations while soft keys 1 and 2 are always present and at the bottom left and right of the screen respectively. -----Original Message----- From: "isabella" Sent: 23/08/2013, 8:40 AM To: talks@talksusers.com Subject: [Talks] help please
Hi every1 I am new to this mailing list. Hope I will be able to contribute some of my knowledge to the list, though I myself do not know much. As for now, let me request anyone of you out there to help me out in solving few of my problems. Just few days back i bought a Nokia N8, which is a touch screen device & had installed the latest talks. But you know what? I found myself to have ran out of patience in exploring it due to the fact that this is my first touch screen mobile, + I am a totally visually impaired person & thus cannot identify anything on the screen, + none of my sighted friends are willing to help me out, + I am staying far, far away from my parents who would have tried helping me out in this issue. But till now, I feel that my possession of this device is a waste. So, before anything happens, can any1 of you send me some write ups or manual containing hints on how to use talks with N8? Or else, if you want me to mention few particular areas where i exactly face problems then I will do so on request. I have a high hope that after a few days from now, I will be able to use this device & not to be in my bag simply, haha. Please, please, please, please, help. Thanks friends in advance.
