I am very sorry if my question has irritated you
but this is the first I have seen of the release
notes. In any case, I have better things to do
with my time than read every bit of guff the manufacturers produce.
Best wishes

Talks doesn't stop working on the models of 3rd
Edition phones and above because of the model.
So the latest version of Talks out on the market
will work. This can be found in the release
note. So please read them! The models of
handsets is near the bottom! This was sent out
last year. Yeh I no most people don't read them
they expect others to tell them the important
things! And as the result of that, they either
miss out on information and ask question that
can be answer if they read the documentation
like the release notes. Nuance TALKS&ZOOMS
Version 5.50 Release Notification
1. Introduction We proudly announce the
release of the Nuance Accessibility Suite
Nuance TTALKS and ZOOMS Version 5.50
supporting Series 60 3rd Edition / 5th Edition
/ Symbian^3. Version 5.50 is a free upgrade for
all Premium Edition licenses generated after
November 13th, 2007 (the release date of TALKS
3.50 for 3rd Edition). In particular, this means
that it can be installed by any customer who is
currently able to run version 4.11 or 5 without
requiring a new license. Please note that, as in
previous versions, ZOOMS screen magnification is
supported only on Series 60 3rd Edition and 5th
Edition phones. 1.1. Status As you
all know, TALKS&ZOOMS is an application that
operates on the Nokia/Symbian platform. In
October 2012, the Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2,
widely considered the last major update for
Symbian, was released and the Symbian Signed
program closed on January 1st 2014. Without
further Symbian updates and the vital signing
process, Nuance Communications regrettably
cannot create further releases of the
TALKS&ZOOMS application. Nuance Communications
will however continue to support and champion
TALKS&ZOOMS while it is still viable to do so
and within the available technical options.
Nuance TALKS&ZOOMS has been a pioneering
application in the area of Mobile phone
accessibility and was an innovative tool in
providing access to handset content. We would
like to extend our gratitude for your support of
the TALKS&ZOOMS solution since its inception
near the turn of the century. You helped make
Nuance TALKS&ZOOMS the first choice for mobile
screen access during more than 10 years! Thank
you! 1.2. Alternative Accessible
Applications As the availability of Symbian
phones is further declining, Nuance
Communications in partnership with Code Factory
S.L invites you to try Mobile Accessibility for
Android; our Screen Reading solution for the
Android platform. Enjoy using a robust Screen
Reading solution with a familiar set of
Text-To-Speech voices for the world's most
popular mobile platform. Visit Code Factory on:
http://www.codefactory.es In addition, we are
excited to offer an accessible keyboard for
Android. Nuance Swype now provides
Text-To-Speech feedback to users of the popular
Swype keyboard application. Find out more on:
http://whatsnext.nuance.com/swype-keyboard-more-powerful-and-personalized/
Nuance Communications does not have immediate
plans to develop and productize new screen
readers for mobile handset platforms. We will
however continue to work closely with our many
partners in the industry and in particular in
the accessibility markets to make available our
market-leading Text-To-Speech voices in many
accessibility products across different
platforms and applications. 2. Changes to the
list of supported phones There are no changes to
the list of supported phones in the version. See

Vocalizer 5.61.2: this version inccludes the
latest updates from ongoing Vocalizer product
development, with various improvements across
several languages and voices.
3.2. Interface Bettter support
for Standby-screen icons such as missed calls,
new messages and voicemail. Improved focus
in notiffications on the Standby-screen when
using the Nokia theme. Improved
virtual-keyboard support when entering
a WLAN-Key. Improved recognition of North
American forrmatted phone numbers.
3.3. Phone Addeed support
for conference "drop call" and "private"

"Repeating caller ID" setting is now used for
2nd incoming calls.
3.4. Applications
Browser: Improved recognition of page ellements
that can be clicked/activated. Email
(Symbiann^3): Message reading support after
recent application updates. MP3 Player
(Symbian^3): Improved detection of main window
to avoid repeated reading of time.
WhatssApp: Improved Recognition of additional
screens. 4. Known Issues with specific phones
and apps This section lists some frequently
reported known problems and limitations that may
occur when using TALKS with particular handsets
or apps: · Symbian^3: Symbian versions
Belle FP1 and FP2 are not fully supported, so
firmware upgrades to these versions should not
be applied. In particular, the keyboard for
Belle FP2 is not accessible with TALKS.
· Nokia C6-00: Using [Talks] shortcuts
involving a digit key is not possible in the
stand-by screen of this phone. · Daisy2go
on Symbian Anna: after adding a new book to the
bookshelf, the application will close. However,
the book is added correctly and can be used
after starting the application again.
· Nokia E7-00: the default [Talks] key on
this phone is the [Menu] key at the front of the
device. On phones without Symbian Anna update,
this key will not behave correctly if it is
pressed twice too quickly, or if the touch
screen is used within about a second after
pressing [Talks]. It is recommended to upgrade
to Symbian Anna, or to always wait a moment
after pressing the [Talks] key on this phone.
· Symbian^3 (without Symbian Anna update):
double-tapping on a scroll bar may lead to a
restart of the phone, especially if it is done
quickly after opening a new window.
· Nokia C5-03: In the List view of the
main menu, no cursor is displayed when moving
around with the side keys, so the focus is not
spoken. As a workaround, use either Grid view,
or explore the screen to select menu items.
· Touch phones, mostly 5th Edition:
Currently, some menus for switching to other
keyboard layouts and for picking suggestions
from the T9 dictionary are not fully accessible.
Switching to other keyboard layouts is not
recommended on 5th Edition phones, as some of
them (e.g. mini-Qwerty or handwriting) are not
yet supported by TALKS, and can be difficult to
exit. · 5th Edition only: On some phones
opening the symbol table in the on-screen
keyboard can lead to the keyboard stopping to
take input until you press [Exit] to go to the
main menu, and then return to the application
where you were entering text. · 5th
Edition only: text entry into an object
announced as âFieldsâ (e.g. a date or a
time) is not supported well by this version of
TALKS, as the virtual keyboard cannot be used
with speech. This limits the use of the Calendar
and Clock applications that rely on these types
of objects for date and time input. · N97:
training mode will read the digits, rather than
the letters, for the keys in the top row of the
QWERTY keyboard. · 3rd Edition (FP1 and
FP2): the âSearchâ application is not
supported. · 3rd Edition FP2: You will
notice a slow response of voice recognition
"beep" after holding [Key 2] when TALKS is not
muted · E75: When using ZOOMS, moving
around the screen by holding down the cursor
keys is currently not possible. The magnified
portion of the screen always follows the current
focus position. 5. FAQ Q: Your software does
not install on my E-Series handset or branded
device, and reports a Certificate Error! Why? A:
While TALKS&ZOOMS for Symbian itself is
certified, and thus can be installed on any
supported handset, the installers for the TTS
engines (Eloquence or Vocalizer for Mobile) are
not signed. E-Series handsets and some branded
devices only accept the installation of signed
software, unless you turn of the corresponding
option inside the Application Manager:
· Open the phone menu. · Open the
App. Manager inside the Tools folder
· Press âOptionsâ, then select
âSettingsâ. · Set âSoftware
Installationâ from âSigned onlyâ to
âAllâ. · Press âBackâ to close the
Settings dialogue, then âExitâ to close the
App. Manager. · Now, you can install the
TTS engine. Another reason could be that the
date on your phone is not set correctly as
Symbian apps need to be digitallyy signed, SIS
files can only be installed if the phone is set
to a valid date. Q: Can I install the new
release of TALKS&ZOOMS, while a previous release
is active? A: Yes, if the new version is
installed to the same memory location as the
previous release. If you would like to change
the memory location, you have to remove the
previous release first! Q: Why do the side keys
on my touch screen phone no longer move the
cursor after upgrading to the latest version of
TALKS? A: Some keyboard functions, such as
[Talks],[digit] shortcuts on the Idle screen and
the use of the side keys to navigate through
menus on 5th Edition, are only supported after
the phone has been rebooted once after
installing or re-enabling TALKS. Q: Why do I get
an âInvalid serial numberâ error when trying
to activate a demo version of TALKS, even though
I have entered the code correctly and never used
TALKS on this phone before? A: The most likely
reason is that TALKS thinks the demo has already
âexpiredâ because the date on the phone is
set incorrectly, usually to some date in the
future. Another possible reason is that versions
of TALKS prior to 5.30 do not accept demo
licenses expiring after April 20, 2013. In this
case, the workaround is simply to use the
current version of TALKS. Q: Why do I get an
âUpgrade errorâ when installing the S60
3rd/5th Edition version? A: The most likely
reasons are that you have used a beta release,
or already have the Nokia TTS driver available
that was installed as a separate file with
version 3.10. Please remove any beta version, as
well as the Nokia TTS driver or the Nuance
Speech2Go Reader application, before upgrading
to TALKS 5.22. 6. Full compatibility list
