A mobile ap developped by Nokia, called TALKS, for blind users, enabling them to find out who has called in absence, to send or receive SMS, to define special ringtones as well as use the advanced features of mobile phones (managing a calender, sending a fax...)

How does it work?

You open up your Communicator or another compatible phone that is equipped with TALKS. It starts speaking, telling you if SMS or e-mail messages have arrived, or how many calls you have missed. It also tells you the most important key functions for these screens. You can read your messages, and answer them instantly. While you type in your answers TALKS optionally reads back your entry, letter by letter or word by word.

In a similar fashion, TALKS brings speech output to the other applications on the Communicator. TALKS uses the well-known ETI Eloquence text-to-speech software from SpeechWorks to make the phone talk without any additional hardware and in a voice familiar to many.

TALKS is available in several languages from Nokia dealers worldwide.
