•
Browser
: displays the name of the main window of a web browser
•
Group
: displays a group of elements that are combined into a single text by TALKS (such as the
individual lines of text in a popup message). The text associated with the group is not shown, but
you can find it in the
Label
entries that follow the
Group
entry, as long as those
Label
entries are
not associated with
[Key 1]
or
[Key 2]
.
You can set the
Objects
dialog box to display objects whose type cannot be identified: select
[Key1]
(Show)
, and then select
Yes
to show unidentified objects or
No
to hide them.
Note
: On rare occasions, selecting
Yes
to show unidentified objects can cause the application to stop
responding.
TALKS&ZOOMS assigns a role to certain objects. The read-out is then based upon these roles. In the
objects dialogue, roles are marked by a trailing “Greater than” sign, and are shown instead of the object
type. The following roles are defined:
•
Focus
: The element that has the focus. In most cases, this will be a control such as a list or a
menu, or the label for a text field in a dialogue. This is read by pressing
[TALKS], [Up]
or
[TALKS], [Select]
.
•
Name
: This marks a label object as the name of a focused non-text object.
•
Text
: This identifies a text field that has the focus. The current line of text is read when pressing
[TALKS], [Up]
or
[TALKS], [Select]
. Special handling for focus changes can trigger the
complete read-out of a text field, for instance, when opening an SMS message. When this role is
assigned to an unknown object, basic text handling is simulated, which supports the addition of
new characters to, or their deletion from the end of the textual content.
•
Tree
: This marks a focused container object that mainly consists of a number of labels. All of its
text content is read when pressing
[TALKS], [Up]
or
[TALKS], [Select]
.
•
Title
: This role is assigned to the title of the currently focused window. It is read when pressing
[TALKS], [Select]
.
•
Subtitle
: This identifies a subtitle of a window; in many cases, it will be the name of a tab sheet.
You can read it by pressing
[TALKS], [Select]
.
•
Status
: This denotes that status area of an application. In most cases, it consists of the application
icon; for text fields, it displays the text status indicators. It can be read with
[TALKS],
[Long Key 2]
.
•
Key 1, Key 2, Key 3
: This marks an object as the left, right, and center soft key label. “Key 3” is
normally used only on handsets running S60 3
rd
Edition, FP2 and later, and provides the label for
the
[Select]
key. All of these soft key labels are read by
[TALKS], [Key 1]
.
•
Ignore
: This is a special role that you can assign to objects that should not be read-out by
TALKS, but would be otherwise.
