Nuance TALKS&ZOOMS Version 5.31
Release Notification
1. Introduction
We proudly announce the release of the Nuance Accessibility
Suite – Nuance TALKS and ZOOMS – Version 5.31 supporting Series 60
3rdEdition / 5thEdition / Symbian^3 for November 6th, 2012.
Version 5.31 is a free upgrade for all Premium Edition licenses
generated after November 13th, 2007 (the release date of TALKS 3.50
for 3rdEdition). In particular, this means that it can be installed
by any customer who is currently able to run version 4.11 or 5 without
requiring a new license.
Please note that, as in previous versions, ZOOMS screen
magnification is currently supported only on Series 60 3rdEdition
and 5thEdition phones.
2. Changes to the list of supported phones
There are no changes to the list of supported phones in the
version. It already resolves some issues with the support for the Belle
FP1
firmware (which is used, for example, in the Nokia 808 PureView), but we
are
continuing to look at some remaining compatibility problems.
The Belle FP2 firmware update (only available for recent
touch-only models, such as the Nokia 701 and 808 PureView) is not yet
supported, and upgrading the firmware should be avoided because it will
render
some parts of the system, such as the keyboard, inaccessible.
See section 6 for a full list of compatible handsets for
this version.
3. What’s
New?
This section lists the improvements of TALKS&ZOOMS 5.31
compared to the previous version (5.30).
New version of Vocalizer:
* Vocalizer 5.60.1: this version includes the latest updates from ongoing
Vocalizer product development, with various improvements across several
languages as voices.
New features:
* On recent 3rdEdition FP2 phones, emoticons (smileys) in text messages
and the symbol table are now read.
* Improved automatic reading of “call waiting” screen (if TALKS is not
muted permanently during call). In most situations, an incoming call
should not be announced without the need to press any additional keys.
* Last spoken phrase can be copied to clipboard using [Talks],[long 8].
This copies the phrase “as spoken”, so that the names of some punctuation
characters may be included as words in addition to the characters
themselves, depending on the punctuation setting. As a confirmation, the
phrase is spoken again.
Browser improvements:
* Combo boxes can be opened using [Select] in browser 7.3/7.4.
* Now supports text input fields using new HTML5-style field types. The
increasing use of this new type of control was the reason why text fields
on some popular pages stopped working with TALKS lately.
* "Reset" buttons in forms are now displayed as well.
* Now also supports "This page" links that go to an object identified by
an ID attribute rather than its anchor name.
* Improved word-wrapping in virtual buffer for long text sections on web
pages, especially in non-Latin scripts, to avoid cutting off sentence
ends.
* Added support for BUTTON element in HTML
* Fixed repeating of "Text area" when typing in browser 7.3
* Clickable images outside of links with no alt/title text are now
supported.
Application support:
* Fixed problems reading text field in WhatsApp 2.06.78.
* Labeled some additional icons (e.g. browser on C6-00, appointment flag
in C6-00 month view, keyboard in Belle FP1).
* Allowed manual labeling of some currently unlabeled icons, e.g.
on-screen buttons in Symbian^3 camera app.
Other changes:
* Character count is no longer repeated when entering a message in latest
E6-00 firmware
* Added [Talk],[long 3] shortcut as alternative to [Talks],[long Exit]
which does not work in Standby screen on phones which do not have a
dedicated power key
* Fixed: App screen could temporarily become non-explorable after closing
the virtual keyboard, if no characters have been entered for about five
seconds.
* Fixed: Crash of camera application on Nokia 808 PureView.
4. Known
Issues with specific phones and apps
This section lists some frequently
reported known problems and limitations that may occur when using TALKS
with
particular handsets or apps:
· Reading of phone screen is
currently a bit verbose (e.g. name of caller repeated more than once), as
a
result of new caller ID support and some blinking icons.
· Nokia C6-00: Using [Talks]
shortcuts involving a digit key is not possible in the stand-by screen of
this
phone.
· Daisy2go on Symbian Anna: after
adding a new book to the bookshelf, the application will close. However,
the
book is added correctly and can be used after starting the application
again.
· Nokia E7-00: the default
[Talks] key on this phone is the [Menu] key at the front of the device. On
phones without Symbian Anna update, this key will not behave correctly if
it is
pressed twice too quickly, or if the touch screen is used within about a
second
after pressing [Talks]. It is recommended to upgrade to Symbian Anna, or
to always
wait a moment after pressing the [Talks] key on this phone.
· Symbian^3 (without Symbian Anna
update): double-tapping on a scroll bar may lead to a restart of the
phone,
especially if it is done quickly after opening a new window.
· Nokia C5-03: In the List view
of the main menu, no cursor is displayed when moving around with the side
keys,
so the focus is not spoken. As a workaround, use either Grid view, or
explore
the screen to select menu items.
· Touch phones, mostly 5thEdition: Currently, some menus for switching to
other keyboard layouts and for
picking suggestions from the T9 dictionary are not fully accessible.
Switching
to other keyboard layouts is not recommended on 5thEdition phones,
as some of them (e.g. mini-Qwerty or handwriting) are not yet supported by
TALKS, and can be difficult to exit.
· 5thEdition only: On
some phones opening the symbol table in the on-screen keyboard can lead to
the
keyboard stopping to take input until you press [Exit] to go to the main
menu,
and then return to the application where you were entering text.
· 5thEdition only:
text entry into an object announced as “Fields” (e.g. a date or a time) is
not
supported well by this version of TALKS, as the virtual keyboard cannot be
used
with speech. This limits the use of the Calendar and Clock applications
that
rely on these types of objects for date and time input.
· N97: training mode will read
the digits, rather than the letters, for the keys in the top row of the
QWERTY
keyboard.
· 3rdEdition (FP1 and
FP2): the “Search” application is not supported.
· 3rdEdition FP2: You
will notice a slow response of voice recognition "beep" after holding
[Key 2] when TALKS is not muted
· E75: When using ZOOMS, moving
around the screen by holding down the cursor keys is currently not
possible.
The magnified portion of the screen always follows the current focus
position.
5. FAQ
Q: Your software does not install on my E-Series handset or
branded device, and reports a Certificate Error! Why?
A: While TALKS&ZOOMS for Symbian itself is certified, and thus can be
installed on any supported handset, the installers for the TTS engines
(Eloquence or Vocalizer for Mobile)
are not signed. E-Series handsets and some branded devices only accept the
installation of signed software, unless you turn of the corresponding
option
inside the Application Manager:
· Open the phone menu.
· Open the App. Manager inside the Tools folder
· Press “Options”, then select “Settings”.
· Set “Software Installation” from “Signed only”
to “All”.
· Press “Back” to close the Settings dialogue,
then “Exit” to close the App. Manager.
· Now, you can install the TTS engine.
Another reason could be that the date on your phone is not
set correctly – as Symbian apps need to be digitally signed, SIS files can
only
be installed if the phone is set to a valid date.
Q: Can I install the new release of TALKS&ZOOMS, while a
previous release is active?
A: Yes, if the new version is installed to the same memory
location as the previous release. If you would like to change the memory
location, you have to remove the previous release first!
Q: Why do I get an “Upgrade error” when installing the S60 3rd/5thEdition
version?
A: The most likely reasons are that you have used a beta
release, or already have the Nokia TTS driver available that was installed
as a
separate file with version 3.10. Please remove any beta version, as well
as the
Nokia TTS driver or the Nuance Speech2Go Reader application, before
upgrading
to TALKS 5.22.
Q: Why do I get an “Invalid serial number” error when trying to
activate a demo version of TALKS, even though I have entered the code
correctly
and never used TALKS on this phone before?
A: The most likely reason is that TALKS thinks the demo has
already “expired” because the date on the phone is set incorrectly,
usually to
some date in the future.
Q: Why do the side keys on my touch screen phone no longer move
the cursor after upgrading to the latest version of TALKS?
A: Some keyboard functions, such as
[Talks],[digit] shortcuts on the Idle screen and the use of the side keys
to
navigate through menus on 5thEdition, are only supported after the
phone has been rebooted once after installing or re-enabling TALKS.
