Talks vs. Mobile Speak

[Stephen Giggar]

Well first of all. They can not be compared being you are talking about two different systems. mSS is for the windows platform. Just Mobile Speak is for the Symbian platform. Now just comparing Talks and Mobile Speak, command modifyer do differ for the 3rd edition phones, but they also have some of the same things as well. Like if the phone has a edit key, both screen readers will use it as the modifyer key for the screen reader. Ware they differ is when the phone does not have a edit key. talks always uses the Menue key in this case. Mobile Speak can use the Media key if the phone has one, or the camera key. I do not think any other keys are used in this case for Mobile Speak for the Symbian based phones. So with Talks you may have a easier time knowing what key to use as the modifyer key for the screen reader just based on if it has a edit key or not. With Mobile Speak, if it does not have a edit key, then you may be able to use the Media key or the Camera key and that may differ from model to model of phones that do not have a edit key. 

i hope that was what you were asking about?

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.

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.
