There's been a lot of progress in Mobile speak lately. I've heard that talks and the 6682 do not play well together.

Using dectalk speech I found it very sluggish, with talks when you hit a key you hear the function of that key and I didn't see the same type of responsiveness with MS. Mostly a lot of hangs and stuttering speech and a few lockups. I wasn't aware of the custom menus problem, maybe that was early in it's development. I didn't try it with any other synths besides dectalk so maybe that was the problem but after giving it a week of using it I was ready to wait till I could afford to get talks on my 6682. I like how code factory has a screen reader for the pDA's. that is something I was real interested in looking at. and from the demos I've herd of it sounds real nice. Hopefully it's a more stable program. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 4:51 PM Subject: Re: Text-To-Speech on Phones: Nuance Talks > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > - From what I recall hearing on acb radio's main menu a while back, > the > problem with mobile-speak vs. talx is that it doesn't give you access > to all the menu options of the phone, rather, it presents you with its > own custom menu, as opposed to the phone's actual menu.
