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 display in the dialog box varies according to
the product options that you have purchased; its name can be TALKS Settings,
ZOOMS Settings, TALKS&ZOOMS Settings, TALKS Premium Settings, or TALKS&ZOOMS Premium. This document uses
“ TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box” as a general term to refer to the settings
dialog box in all the products. When a description applies only to a
specific product, the document states so.
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. For
more information about such application-specific settings, see section .
To open the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box:
· In the main menu, select the icon called Talks or Talks&Zooms.
Or:
· Press [TALKS], [Menu].
Any change that you make in the settings takes effect when you switch
to one of the other tabs, by pressing [Left] or [Right], or when
you close the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box, by pressing [Key 2] ( Exit).
To change a setting in the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box:
37. Press [Select].
If the setting has two options, it automatically switches to the other option.
38. If the setting has more than two options, press [Down] or [Up] to
scroll to the desired option, and press [Select].
Several additional settings are available in the Options menu, which you access by pressing [Key 1] ( Options). Select from the following options:
· About: Displays the version number and date of your TALKS&ZOOMS software. You may
need this information if you contact technical support or check for available updates.
Press [Key 1] ( OK) to close this window.
· Info: Displays additional information about the TALKS&ZOOMS software (if available)
· License: Displays the end-user license agreement
· Register: Opens a submenu with the following choices:
q 1 0-day demo: Enables you to request a demo registration code so that you
can use TALKS&ZOOMS free of charge for 10 days. Note that you can
use this form of registration only once per phone. This option is not
available when the Offline profile is active, because it requires the ability to
send and receive text messages.
q SMS registration: Enables you to enter the number of the registration ticket that
you received from your TALKS&ZOOMS dealer and send an SMS message with that
number to the TALKS registration server. You will receive a registration code that
is automatically stored on your phone. This option is not available when the
Offline profile is active, because it requires the ability to send and receive
text messages.
q Restore registration: Enables you to re-register your software if your phone loses the
registration information. The process is similar to the SMS registration process, but you
do not need to enter the registration ticket again. This option is not
available when the Offline profile is active, because it requires the ability to
send and receive text messages.
q Manual registration: Opens a dialog box that displays the IMEI number of your
Series 60 phone and enables you to register the software in case SMS
registration does not work in your country or with your network provider. In
the Serial Number box, enter the serial number of your TALKS&ZOOMS software. This
process enables you to use TALKS longer than the 10 minutes provided for
unregistered software. You can register the full version and the extended 30-day demo
version of the software in this manner.
· SMS News: The Nuance Accessibility Suite offers the ability to subscribe to or
unsubscribe from a free SMS News service. Choose “Subscribe” from the SMS News
sub-menu to send a text message to our server that subscribes your mobile
number, or “Unsubscribe” to discontinue the receipt of SMS News messages. In both
cases, you will receive a confirmation for the requested action. We do not
share your mobile number with others, and we will not send more than
two news messages per month, so you do not have to worry about
being spammed. This option is not available when the Offline profile is active,
because it requires the ability to send and receive text messages.
· Disable/Enable TALKS&ZOOMS: Stops TALKS&ZOOMS completely for all applications, or activates TALKS&ZOOMS again. When
you disable TALKS, speech in the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box remains available.
· Exit: Closes the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box

The settings on the Automation tab enable you to customize the readout of caller ID and incoming text messages. The settings are as follows:
· Caller ID: If you want TALKS to read out the caller ID of incoming calls, activate the readout by setting the amount of time for TALKS to wait before muting the ring and reading out the caller ID. You can select 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds.
Note: If you set a waiting time for the readout of caller ID, do not use the Beep once or Silent setting for the type of ringing (in the Profiles dialog box). Your phone should be set to the default ringing type.
· Repeat Caller ID: If you activate the automatic readout of caller ID, you
can define whether and how often TALKS should repeat the readout. To have
TALKS repeat the readout, select the frequency of repetition—every 3, 5, 10, or
15 seconds. If you do not want TALKS to repeat the readout, select
No.
· New Messages: You can set TALKS to automatically open and read out incoming
messages (select the Read option). After TALKS reads out a message, you are
asked whether you want the message repeated or closed.
On the User dictionary tab, you can create entries that indicate how you
want TALKS to read out specific words, phrases, and abbreviations. You can associate
an entry with a particular application or with all the applications on your
phone.
To create an entry indicating how TALKS should read out a specific word
or abbreviation:
39. Determine whether you want to associate the readout with all applications or only
a specific application.
· If you want to associate the readout with all applications, go to the
main menu and select Talks&Zooms to open the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box.
· If you want to associate the readout with a specific application, open that
application and press [TALKS], [Menu] to open the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box.
40. Press [Right] until you reach the User dictionary tab.
A list of entries appears. The items in the list depend on the
view defined in the Options menu.
41. Press [Key 1] ( Options), and select Add new.
The Edit user dictionary dialog box appears.
42. In the Text area, key in the word, phrase, or abbreviation for which
you want to define a pronunciation. For example, write “UC” in the Text
area.
43. In the Replacement area, key in the word or phrase that indicates how
you want TALKS to pronounce the item shown in the Text area. For
example, if you wrote “UC” in the Text area, write “University of California”
in the Replacement area.
44. In the Application area, define how you want the entry associated:
· Select Global if you want TALKS to read out the replacement phrase in
any application.
· Select the application name if you want TALKS to read out the replacement
phrase only in this particular application (this option appears only if you opened
the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box from within an application, not from the phone’s
main menu).
45. In the Whole words only area, press [Right] or [Left] to select an
option:
· Select Yes if you want TALKS to read out the replacement phrase only
when TALKS encounters the original text as a whole word.
· Select No if you want TALKS to read out the replacement phrase whenever
TALKS encounters the original text, even if it is part of another word.
46. In the Ignore case area, press [Right] or [Left] to select an option:
· Select Yes if you want TALKS to read out the replacement phrase regardless
of the case of the original text or the text that TALKS encounters.
· Select No if you want TALKS to read out the replacement phrase only
when TALKS encounters text with the same case as the original text.
47. Save the entry: press [Key 1] ( Options), and select Save.
The new entry is saved. When TALKS encounters text that matches the original
text as defined in your entry, TALKS will read out the replacement phrase.
48. To create a replacement for Braille representation, select Add Braille field and follow
the steps described in this procedure. Note that the Text area appears only
once, because the original text is the same as for speech.
To edit an entry that you created:
49. In the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box, select the User dictionary tab.
A list of entries appears. The items in the list depend on the
view defined in the Options menu.
50. To change the display of the entry list, press [Key 1] (Options), select
View, and select one of the viewing options:
· < Application name >: If you opened the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box from within an
application, that application name appears here. Select this option if you want to
see only the entries that are associated specifically with this application and not
used anywhere else.
· < Application name > and Global: If you opened the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box from
within an application, that application name appears here. Select this option if you
want to see both the entries that are associated with this application only
and the entries that are used across all applications. This option displays a
complete list of all the entries that affect this particular application.
· Global: Select this option to see the entries that are associated with all
the applications.
· System: Select this option to see the entries associated with system messages (such
as warnings and confirmation messages) and with the status indicators.
· All: Select this option to see all the entries that you have created.
51. Make your changes as described in the procedure for creating a new entry
(the preceding procedure).
52. Press [Key 1] ( Options), and select Save to save your changes.
If you want to create a new entry that is almost the same
as an existing entry, create a duplicate entry and then edit it.
To create a duplicate of an entry:
53. In the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box, on the User dictionary tab, select the
entry that you want to duplicate.
54. Press [Key 1] ( Options) and select Duplicate.
The Edit user dictionary dialog box appears.
55. Edit the duplicate as desired.
56. Press [Key 1] ( Options), and select Save to save the duplicate as a
new entry.
To delete an entry:
57. In the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box, on the User dictionary tab, select the
entry that you want to delete.
58. Press [Key 1] (Options) and select Delete.
A warning message appears.
59. Press [Key 1] ( Yes) to confirm that you want to delete the entry.
Note: You can find the files that contain the dictionary entries in a folder named \Nokia\Others\Talks, normally in the same location where you installed TALKS (either the phone memory, or the memory card).
The Icons tab enables you to create and edit entries that indicate how
you want TALKS to read out icons in third-party applications. Each entry includes
the hexadecimal value for the icon and the phrase that you want TALKS
to say when it encounters the icon.
The Icons tab is similar to the User dictionary tab. To create and
edit entries on the Icons tab, follow the procedures in section .
It is recommended that you use the Icons tab for editing icons that
already have audio labels and that you use the Object Viewer to create
such labels.
The settings that you define in the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box are global
in nature: by default, they affect all applications in your phone. However, you
might want to define some settings differently for certain applications. For instance, you
might not want to hear punctuation marks read out in most applications, but
when writing notes or using the calculator, you might prefer to hear them
read out. Or you might use a certain zoom factor in most applications,
but in one application, you need to increase it. This section explains how
to create such application-specific settings.
To define a setting and limit it to a specific application:
60. Open the application to which you want to apply the setting, and press [TALKS], [Menu] to open the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box.
Note: To define an application-specific setting, you must use the [TALKS], [Menu] shortcut to access the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box.
61. Press [Key 1] (Options), and select App-specific settings.
A dialog box that shows the name of the application appears and displays
a list of the settings that you defined for that application. If none
have been defined, the message “Using only standard settings” appears.
62. Press [Key 1] (Options), and select Add app.-specific value.
A list of application-specific parameters appears:
· For ZOOMS: Screen mode, Zoom factor, Auto-fit focus, Color processing, Invert colors, Scrolling
speed, and Auto-scroll delay
· For TALKS (from the Speech tab): Key echo, Speak upper case, Use spelling
alphabet, Speak punctuation, and Read numbers as
· For TALKS (from the Advanced tab): Read function keys, Read list index, Verbose
descriptions, Cursor mode, T9 key echo, Echo passwords, and Full list items.
63. Select a parameter, and define it as desired.
Note: The parameter that you define for a specific application still retains its default setting for all other applications.
64. Press [Key 1] (Options), and select Exit to close the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box and save your settings.
Note: While you are working with application-specific settings, you can close that page
and open the global TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box by pressing [Key 2] (Back). To
close the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box completely and return to the current application,
press [Key 2] (Exit) again.
To restore an application-specific setting to the global default setting:
65. Open the application for which you want to change the parameter, and press
[TALKS], [Menu] to open the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box.
66. Press [Key 1] (Options), and select App-specific settings.
67. Select the parameter that you want to change.
68. Press [Key 1] (Options), and select Reset value to standard.
69. When the confirmation message appears, press [Key 1] (Yes).
The selected application-specific setting is canceled, and the global default setting is activated.
