Hi Barry,
No, it is not Scansoft that is the problem, it is the operating systems. I
don't know techs, but I understand that you actually need a "smart phone" to
make them talk, and most of the smaller ones are not, neither do they have
memyr cards, a lot of them. But watch MobileSpeak Pocket, because in around
October, it will work with MS smart phones, and that will open the
floodgates a little wider.
All the best

Hey Steve.
Any luck on them expanding out beyond Simbian?
Have of course a 6600, and a copy of Talks that I purchased from your
goodself. But it's frustrating each and every time you meet a friend and
they have a cute, smaller phone that has a better soundcard, tones, and
features than my phone plus isn't weighty and doesn't always have a camera.
I have heard it is technically quote probably quote very possible to stick
Talks on other phones but it's the scansoft tts they are using that causes
the diffs?
Can you confirm or deny this?
