Marie,

I find, having now used the Talks software on two phones, that you don't need to use the Talks features while you're talking on the phone.

Instead, I use them for moving around menus, texting people and that sort of thing, which can be done with phone held in one or two hands as suits you best. While I'm actually talking to someone, I just hold the phone as normal, so there's no tangle at all.

HTH,
Tink.

Subject: [access-uk] Stupid question about mobiles and accessibility



to all of you who use a mobile with Talks or the other prog. that make the screen accessible this might sound like a very stupid question but here it goes, just the same as one never learns unless one asks:...
How can you manipulate the phone, I.e push its tiny keys comfortably and efficiently while you have the phone against your ear so that you can listen to what Talks is saying? isn't it rather awkward especially in a noisy environment?
do you have to use a headset to use the accessibility features? if so, it must mean a phone being less portable and another thing to have to remember to pick up from a table, a desk or these silly collapsible shelf you get to use on a train.
Please tell me how you have solved this problem, or is it me making one where there isn't any?


Thanks to all who will make the time to reply...

Cheers now,

Marie
