Talks vs. Mobile Speak

[Stephen Giggar]

That is correct. Their is nothing the screen readers can do about ware the keys are located on the phone. Each phone layout is different. So ware the Clear key is on one phone model will not be in the same place on a different model. Example. My n73, the Clear key is to the right of the 9 and Pound keys. The n82, the Clear key is above the number 3 and below the Media key. So as you can see the keys are not in the same place. 
Talks still uses the edit key on the phones that have one. For phones that do not have a edit key, then Tackr uses the Menue key. This is no problem. You just need to press it twice to get the menue. 

again. The placement of the menue and edit keys is up to Nokia and not the screen reader makers. They can not do anything about ware the keys are on the phone. Also the menue and if the phone has a edit key will not be in the same place from model to model of the different phones.

Produced on a Nokia N73 smart phone using a Symbian based screen reader.

Sorry, I can't comment since I don't use that feature. However, I don't like
the location of the clear key since I  am always hitting the wrong key, but
I suspect that is a nokia problem there.

wonder what the interface to the newer talks is like compared to the
interface to mss.  I sort of didn't like the edit/talks key thing on my
6620.

Max

Well if you looked 18 months ago; Their are very big differences for both
screen readers! <grin> You
are talking about from September/October of 2006 until now. At that point in
time; The 3rd Edition
of Talks or MobileSpeak wasn't even out yet.
