By default, this can be the [Edit], [Menu], or the [Chr] key, depending upon the actual handset. We will refer to this as the [TALKS] key from now on. • The various S60 3rd Edition phones have many of the same keys. Among these are two “soft” keys, which are located below the display. A soft key varies in function; it performs the function described in the label that appears above it in the display. In this guide, the left soft key is called [Key 1], and the right soft key is called [Key 2]. • [Up], [Down], [Left], [Right]: Navigate through menus by moving the joystick upward, downward, to the left, or to the right. This guide refers to the four positions of the joystick as navigation keys. The navigation keys enable you to perform actions such as moving the cursor in a text field and scrolling through a list or menu. Some S60 phones let you assign an application to each of these keys.

If more than one voice is installed, it opens a menu that allows you to switch between voices, or to select “None” for deactivating speech.

The TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box The TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box enables you to change various settings related to TALKS, such as volume, speed, pitch, and key echo, or to ZOOMS, such as the zoom factor. The TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box consists of up to seven tabs, depending upon your product options. The tabs are Magnification, Speech, Advanced, Automation, User dictionary, Icons, and Braille. When you select a setting, it applies to all applications in your phone. However, you can choose to apply certain settings to one application only. To open the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box: • In the main menu, select the icon called Talks or Talks&Zooms. Or: • Press [TALKS], [Menu]. If [Menu] is used as the [TALKS] key, the sequence [TALKS], [Long Key 1] should be used instead. Repeat the last phrase If you don’t hear or understand the speech output, you can have TALKS repeat the most recently spoken phrase (press [TALKS], [#]) or the next-to-last phrase (press [TALKS], [Long #]). This feature is useful in instances such as these: • Your phone alarm goes off, and you stop it by pressing [Key 1] or, to postpone wake-up to a few minutes later, by pressing [Key 2] (Snooze). In both cases, the message that was displayed is gone. Pressing [TALKS], [Long #] repeats the message. • You enter *#0000# or *#06# to read the firmware version or the IMEI number of your phone, and TALKS reads out the resulting message once. When you press any key, the message disappears. Pressing [TALKS], [Long #] repeats the message. Customise the phone as per your requirements • Create shortcuts to favourite apps • Customize profiles for different situations – home, office, outdoor, night • Set ringtones, keypad tone, message tones Phone Settings and keyboard shortcuts Using profiles and changing ring tones Profiles let you quickly change the way your phone notifies you of incoming calls or messages. Your phone contains a number of predefined profiles—for example, General (the profile in use when you turn on the phone for the first time), Silent, and Meeting. You can associate each profile with a different ring tone, ring volume, and key tone; you can set the vibrating alert as on or off in each profile; and you can change the name of all the profiles except the General profile.

Great aid in mobility – The GPS can help you Know your location Find your way to your destination Know about your surroundings Share your location and favourites “The sightless will guide the sighted” Use of the GPS Maps application for navigation Courtesy: Harish Kotian I have used Nokia E72 handset with Talks v 5.2 although I have mentioned Talks as the screen reader, the instructions holds good for Mobile speak as well. Preparing GPS 1. Go to Control panel, Settings, general, positioning, positioning method. It may be different in other models. 2. You may select Integrated GPS and preferably also Assisted GPS (AGPS) if available on your phone. This is optional and helps in acquiring satellite signals quickly. If you have external blue tooth GPS, then you will have to select this as well. Configuring 1. There are three folders which you will have to use. Maps, Landmarks and GPS data. Maps is usually found in the main Menu and the other 2 under Applications. I created a GPS folder in my Main menu and moved all these into it. This becomes convenient to use. 2. Go to Maps and select it. After a while Talks will say drive. Now press key1. 3. When Talks says Account, come down and select Settings 4. When Talks says Internet, connection online if you want the search to be done so. If you will unselect it, search will be off-line. I have found, online gives better search. However, even off-line you get pretty good results in searching for a place. 5. Network destination should be internet 6. Press key 2 to return back to settings 7. Select Navigation 8. In both voice guidance for drive and walk select the language with street names. Initially, it may have to download it from the net; hence it is advisable to do when you have a WIFI connection. Else you will have to incur GPRS charges. For English, Hindi and Tamil, you may not need to download from the net. Sometimes you don't hear the voice guidance, for which you will have to raise the volume up. Getting Started 1. You are now ready to go. Go to an open area, may be your terrace, balcony or window. A place where you can get signals from the satellite. Initially, it takes a very long time to acquire the satellite. About 30 minutes. Better use GPRS and try it with AGPS on. 2. Select landmark, Key 1 and select new landmark 3. Select current location to save the place where you are now. Once your GPS acquires satellite, it will fill the Latitude and longitude fields. Give it a name and save this position. Alternatively you can use the map or enter it manually. 4. Henceforth, you will select this landmark and press Key1 and select show route 5. After a while Talks says add new point. Move to GPS status. Talks says GPS status, No GPS connection, No GPS position. This means, your phone is awaiting signals from satellite. Once it picks it, it will tell you the quality of connection, like good, poor etc., the name of the nearest road and number of satellites. In case, you are traveling by vehicle and you want to essentially know where you are presently, this will keep refreshing as and when you change streets. 6. If you want to change between walk and drive, in GPS status, move your cursor right. Selecting will toggle between walk and drive. I have found by toggling this, the satellite acquisition is faster. There should be no reason what so ever for this to happen, this is just my observation. It may be coincidental. 7. In case you need voice navigation, you will press key 1 only after acquiring satellite. Talks says, calculating route. Wait for a while and again press Key1. Press Key 1 one more time and Talks says Start driving or walking depending what you chose in step 5. Bingo! You start getting turn by turn navigation. Again, you can use the volume button to adjust the announcement level. 8. Pressing 3 shall give you a search box. I have found that this takes the distances of places progressively. So, if you select underground stations you can know the distances of the nearby bus stations. Please don't ask me why bus stations are called underground stations. I have no answer for this <smile>. 9. To save your own route, set your destination, when you reach select save route and give it a meaningful name. 10. In the Main Maps folder you will find favourites and here you will find your favourite routes. Select it and choose drive or walk guidance. 11. In the search under the Main Maps, the search is very good. You can type a keyword and returns good results. You can also choose by Category. Whenever you select a place, it will show up in the history. Now-a-days, whenever I want to use the OVI maps, I go to Maps, Drive and either I choose drive home or choose Set destination. Here again I choose between history, favourites or search depending on the situation. This makes the process much simpler. Talks and long Key 2 gives you additional information like area, speed etc. Contacts management – sending business cards To send a contact to another device 1. select the contact and then press Key 1 for Options 2. Select Send Business Card. In some phones you may have to first select View details and then again press Key 1 for Options. 3. When prompted select Message if you want to send the Business Card by SMS 4. A SMS message will be created with the selected Business card as an attachment. 5. In the TO field type the phone number or press Select key to open Contacts. Choose the recipient of the message. 6. Finally send the message. If you receive a message with a business car, open the message and press Key 1 for Options. Select Save Business Card to add it to your phone contacts.
