Choose TALKS key
By default, TALKS&ZOOMS uses the
[Edit]
key as the
[TALKS]
key, when it is available on a handset.
The
[Chr]
key is used for handsets with a QWERTY keyboard, and the
[Menu]
key in case of a device
with a numeric keypad.
To use another key as the [TALKS] key:
1.
Open the
TALKS&ZOOMS Settings
, and select
Choose TALKS key
on the
Advanced
tab.
2.
Select one of the keys in the list that appears:
Menu, Chr, Edit, Multimedia, Power,
Gallery
.
Default
sets the original
[TALKS]
key assignment.
4.2.27
Echo function keys
TALKS treats the read-out of function keys, like the two soft keys
[Key 1]
and
[Key 2]
,
[Select]
, and the
[TALKS]
key, separate from the
Key echo
setting. By default, function keys are always read, even when
Key echo
has been turned off.
To disable function key read-out:
1.
Open the
TALKS&ZOOMS Settings
.
2.
Select
Echo function keys
on the
Advanced
tab sheet. When this is set to
No
,
function key read-out is disabled.
Note:
The echo of the [TALKS] key is affected by the global Echo function keysetting only, not by the
application-specific version of this option.
4.2.28
Read text status
TALKS announces the text status indicators whenever you reach a text field.
Dictionary
means that the
T9 predictive text is active for this field, and
Lower case
or
Upper case
inform about the capitalization
of the next character.
All capitals
indicates that all the following letters will have upper case, and
Numbers
means that this field is asking for a numeric value.
To turn off the automatic announcement of text status:
1.
Open the
TALKS&ZOOMS Settings
dialogue box.
2.
On the
Advanced
tab, select
Read text status
. When set to
No
, no automatic
announcement of the text status occurs when reaching a text field.
Note:
The text status is always announced when it changes, or when you press
[TALKS], [Long Key 2]
to read the text status information (see section 4.1.5).
4.2.29
Setting the speech delay (S60 3
rd
Edition only)
Some phones may require a certain delay before sending audio output, when the audio channel has just
been opened, otherwise you might experience a cut-off at the start of the first utterance after a pause.
TALKS uses a good default value, that is adjusted for different kinds of audio hardware found on S60
devices. But you may require a longer delay in case you connect an external speaker to your phone, or
when using some Bluetooth headsets; or you may want to fine-tune the delay to improve performance on
your handset.
