Category: accessible Devices
I would like to know what people's experiences are with these two softwares and in general which one they'd recommend. I am considering buying a Nokia phone that is formatted for usage all over the world, but would like to know which program to install on it. I'm looking for complete accessibility or as close as I can get to it. I currently have an LG 4500. It works well enough, but I travel out of the country quite a lot and verizon is worth crap as soon as you stick your big toe outside of the states.
Thanks...
i don't have either of them, but i've heard talks is the better one, so i'd go with that.
personally I'm not going to go that route until I know there's more then one brand of phone to choose from. Nokia is an awful model in my oppinion I had two I disliked, will never buy another one. good luck though.
as far as brands, certain Panasonics, and the siemens sx1 are also compatible with mobilespeak and Talks, as they are what is known as series 60, or symbian based phones. Have you looked at the series 60 nokias? The 6620/6630, the 3230, and the 6670 are worth a look.
As for the speech preference, talks speaks faster. That, in my opinion, is the only big difference between the two. they both have very small advantages and disadvantages from keyboard help to good customer support.
Good day all. To my knowledge if your going to use a series 60 phone Talks is probably the better solution since Code Factory is presently putting much of there developement in to Mobile Speak pocket a screen reader for PDA's and windows smart phones. I use a Dell X51V running Windows Mobile 5 along with Mobile speak pocket and really like it. There technical support is excellent and is accessible via windows messenger or e-mail. They respond promptly and are quick to correct problems with the product.
The only reason I'm more inclined towards a Nokia is because from what I've found, those are the models I can get that are GSM unlocked and have the capability to have one of the softwares loaded up to them. I'm of course open to any other phone brands or model types that can accomidate my needs.
In fact, I'll be stopping by the Nokia booth at the CSUN conference for the disabled here in Los Angeles on Friday and will pick their brain as well...
Thanks,
