4 Listening to TALKS

This chapter describes the TALKS speech functions and the related settings.

4.1 TALKS functions

4.1.1

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.
4.1.2

Read out the current window

When you press [TALKS], [Select], TALKS reads out the current window, as if a focus change has
occurred. The only difference is that a text field is not read out completely, only the currently selected line
is read.
In the Nokia web browser, [TALKS], [Select] reads out the actual page, as if it had just finished loading,
but of course up to the object that is currently in focus.
4.1.3

Announce the soft keys

By default, whenever TALKS reads out the current window, it also announces the functions assigned to
the two soft keys, located at the lower edge of the screen. To have TALKS announce them again, press
[TALKS], [Key 1]. To change the default setting, see section 4.2.15.
4.1.4

Announce the status indicators

The Series 60 phone displays a number of status indicators that give you information about the battery
and network status, unread and unsent messages, Bluetooth and infrared connections, and so forth. To
have TALKS announce these indicators, press [TALKS], [Key 2].
4.1.5

Announce the text status indicators

When you enter text into any text field, status indicators show the mode of the next character— numeric
mode or alphanumeric mode, uppercase letter or lowercase letter. When you enter text in a message, an
additional indicator appears if the T9 dictionary is active. To have TALKS announce these indicators,
press [TALKS], [Long Key 2].
When you compose a text message on some Series 60 phones, you can press [TALKS], [Long Key 2] to
have TALKS announce the number of characters that you can still enter before reaching the 160-character
limit for an SMS message, and how many messages will be required to send the currently entered text.
When you compose an e-mail message or MMS text, TALKS announces the size of the message in
kilobytes.
