2 Getting started with your phone and the Nuance Accessibility Suite

This chapter explains briefly how to use S60 phones and describes a few
basic operations to help you start using TALKS on your phone. It is not at
all meant as a substitution for the user guide that came with your phone.

2.1  Phone Basics

2.1.1   S60 3 rd Edition - Handsets without a touch screen

For mobile phones without a touch screen, the Nuance Accessibility Suite
does not change the user interface, except for the following:

 One key is used to initiate TALKS&ZOOMS commands. 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.

 TALKS implements a virtual buffer that allows for very easy navigation
when reading a web page. The direction keys  [Up] and  [Down] move line by
line, [Select] executes the currently web object, and the number keys and
[Call] act as quick keys for fast navigation to desired areas of a web
page. Thus, the web browser is the area where the use of a mobile handset
with TALKS differs the most from the way a sighted person would use the
device. However, TALKS scrolls the browser to the currently read part of
the web page, so a sighted person can at least see where you are.

 When the ZOOMS magnification function is turned on, pressing and holding
down the direction keys  [Left],  [Right],  [Up], and  [Down] moves the
"magnification glass" in the respective direction.

This allows TALKS&ZOOMS users to work with sighted persons, or receive
support from the phone manufacturer or network provider. When you receive
instructions, you can simply follow them, and TALKS&ZOOMS will follow
whatever you do. You do not have to use screen reader commands to get
started with your handset, apart from perhaps turning on magnification, and
adjusting the magnification level. Just remember to press the  [TALKS] key
twice if you need its original function.

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]. S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack
2 introduced a third label that is associated with the current function of
the  [Select] key; TALKS announces this label after the left and right soft
keys.

briefly describes the functions of common keys on S60 phones. Your phone
may have additional special keys and some different features, but the table
should give you a useful overview.

Ĵ
 [Key 1]            This key is the left soft key; its function varies   
                    according to the label just above it.  [Key 1]       
                    often opens an  Options list or enables you to       
                    select a setting or menu item. In the Stand-By       
                    application,  [Key 1] acts as a shortcut for         
                    starting one important application.                  
                                                                         
                    When you press  [Key 1] and then immediately press   
                    [*] (on candy-bar style devices) or [Key 2] (for     
                    slider or folding handsets) or [Fn ] (for mobiles    
                    with a QWERTY keyboard), the keypad becomes locked,  
                    which TALKS announces. If you press a key while the  
                    keypad is locked, the phone does not respond. To     
                    unlock the keypad, press the same sequence:  [Key    
                    1] and then  [*] or [Key 2] or  [Fn].                
Ĵ
 [Key 2]            This key is the right soft key; its function varies  
                    according to the label just above it.  [Key 2]       
                    often enables you to cancel an action or close an    
                    application or settings window. In the phone         
                    application,  [Key 2] acts as a shortcut for a       
                    second application.                                  
                                                                         
                    To call a number by saying its voice tag on          
                    handsets that do not have a dedicated key for this   
                    function, press  [Key 2] and hold it briefly before  
                    releasing it.                                        
Ĵ
 [Call]             Press this key to dial a phone number that you have  
                    entered in the phone by speaking, using the keypad,  
                    or selecting a contact (currently displayed on the   
                    screen). If you don't enter a number, the  [Call]    
                    key opens a list of your recently called numbers so  
                    that you can select one to call. When you enter an   
                    SMS, MMS, or e-mail message, use this key to send    
                    the message.                                         
Ĵ
 [Exit]             Press this key to terminate a phone call that is in  
                    progress. The key also acts as a shortcut that       
                    takes you straight to the phone application.         
Ĵ
 [Edit]             Since the  [Edit] key provides some of the least     
                    used functions (opening the Edit menu in a text      
                    field and enabling you to select blocks of text),    
                    the Nuance Accessibility Suite software uses this    
                    key as the default activation key for                
                    screen-reading functions. This guide refers to the   
                    key as the  [TALKS] key. Some S60 handsets do not    
                    have an  [Edit] key; in this case, [Menu] serves as  
                    the standard  [TALKS] key on most handsets; on       
                    phones with a QWERTY keyboard,  [CHR] is used as     
                    the default  [TALKS] key.                            
                                                                         
                    If the  [Edit] key is the  [TALKS] key, to select a  
                    block of text or items in a list, press the          
                    [TALKS] key, press it again (you hear "TALKS         
                    Edit"), and hold it down while you move the          
                    joystick in the appropriate direction. On handsets   
                    that do not have an  [Edit] key, you have to hold    
                    down  [#], while moving with the cursor keys, or     
                    use the  [Shift] key in case of a QWERTY keyboard.   
Ĵ
 [Clear]            Press this key to backspace in any text field. When  
                    a list of messages or files is displayed, you can    
                    often use this key to delete the currently selected  
                    item.                                                
Ĵ
 [1], [2], ... [9]  You can use these keys to enter a phone number in    
                    the phone application. If you press a numeric key    
                    and hold it briefly (a "long" press), the phone      
                    application uses the speed-dialing feature to call   
                    a number that you have predefined. In other          
                    applications, the numeric keys enable you to enter   
                    letters, digits, and punctuation marks for devices   
                    that do not have a QWERTY keyboard.                  
Ĵ
 [0]                Press this key to enter a zero in the phone          
                    application. To activate the web browser from the    
                    phone application, press the  [0] key and hold it    
                    briefly. In other applications, you can press this   
                    key to enter a space or start a new paragraph.       
Ĵ
 [Select]           S60 phones have a five-way button, called a          
                    joystick, for navigating through menus and           
                    selecting items. To select an item, press the        
                    center of the joystick straight down. This guide     
                    uses the term  [Select] for the center of the        
                    joystick.                                            
                                                                         
                    The  [Select] key enables you to quickly select a    
                    menu item, open a message, and so on, instead of     
                    selecting the same action from the  Options menu of  
                    an application. If a handset offers the so-called "  
                    Active S t and-By" function, [Select] is used to     
                    activate the currently selected application icon or  
                    other element on the Stand-By screen. If "Active     
                    Stand-By" is not available, or if it is turned off,  
                    most handsets allow assigning applications to any    
                    of the 5 directions of the joystick.

 [*]                Press this key to enter a star in the phone          
                    application. For instance, you can enter  *#06# to   
 (Asterisk)         display the IMEI number of a given phone. Press      
                    [*] twice in rapid succession to enter a plus sign   
                    (+) in a phone number.                               
                                                                         
                    In text fields, you can use  [*] to enter            
                    punctuation or special characters and to select      
                    from alternative matches in the T9 dictionary. On    
                    handsets with T9 that do not have an  [Edit] key,    
                    [*] displays a list with more options, like          
                    changing the writing language; on such devices,      
                    press  [Long *] to access the list of symbols.       
Ĵ
 [#]                In a text field, press this key to switch between    
                    upper case and lower case and to turn the T9         
 (Number sign)      dictionary on and off. On phones that have an        
                    [Edit] key, press and hold  [#] briefly to switch    
                    between the alphanumeric (letters and numbers) and   
                    numeric entry modes. When no  [Edit] or  [Shift]     
                    key is present, this key must be pressed and held    
                    down to select text . Special commands in the phone  
                    application also require this key--for instance, in  
                    the sequence  *#0000#, which displays the version    
                    number of the firmware.                              
Ĵ
 [Up]               Navigate through menus by moving the joystick        
                    upward, downward, to the left, or to the right.      
 [Down]             This guide refers to the four positions of the       
                    joystick as navigation keys. The navigation keys     
 [Left]             enable you to perform actions such as moving the     
                    cursor in a text field and scrolling through a list  
 [Right]            or menu.                                             
                                                                         
                    Some S60 phones let you assign an application to     
                    each of these keys.                                  
Ĵ
 [Menu]             The  [Menu] key calls up the phone's main menu,      
                    from which you can start applications, designate     
                    the order of the applications in the menu, and move  
                    applications to a different folder. To see a list    
                    of the active applications, to switch to a           
                    different one, or to close an application, press     
                    and hold  [Menu].                                    
                                                                         
                    When a handset is not equipped with an  [Edit] key,  
                    and when no QWERTY keyboard is used,  [Menu] is      
                    used as the default  [TALKS] key, and it must be     
                    pressed twice to retain its original function.       
Ĵ
 [Power]            Press this key briefly to select another profile,    
                    lock the keypad, lock the phone against              
                    unauthorized access, or turn off the phone. To turn  
                    off the phone quickly, or to turn it on, press and   
                    hold this key.                                       

2.1.2  S60 5 th Edition and Symbian^3 : Handsets with a touch screen

Even on these devices, TALKS minimizes the changes to the user interface,
to ensure that TALKS users can work with sighted persons, and receive
support by network providers, whose technical support team may not be
familiar with TALKS. This is how it works:

 When you put your finger or stylus onto the phone display for more than
about half a second, you can "explore" its content by just sliding around
the screen. TALKS will simply speak whatever it recognizes under your
finger or stylus, and also confirm through a vibration signal when a new
object has been touched. To activate the function associated to the current
position, simply lift your finger and then perform a short tap anywhere
onto the display. Note that in situations where a swipe is required, like
for kinetic scrolling on handsets that support this method for scrolling
lists, the location you start on matters; for example, to apply kinetic
scrolling to a list, you have to swipe within the area displaying that list.

 When screen magnification using ZOOMS is enabled, you can "explore" the
screen in the same way to view areas of the screen that are not
autoamtically shown by ZOOMS: after holding down your finger on the display
for half a second, you can move around the visible part of the screen until
you lift your finger again.

 When you simply tap or swipe, without being in exploration mode, the
corresponding function is performed. This allows a sighted person to
operate a handset, even though TALKS is running. You can also use this to
tap upon areas that are easy to find, like the areas that belong to soft
keys [Key 1] or  [Key 2], or for other actions that require a swipe or
other gesture.

 The  [Menu] key is used by default to initiate TALKS commands, and it is
called the  [TALKS] key in this manual. After pressing this key, an
invisible grid allows you to select the desired function by finding it in
exploration mode, and executing it with a tap (see section for details).
Press the  [TALKS] key twice to access its original function.

 Although most devices with a touch screen have just a few keys, TALKS
allows users to access many parts of the phone through key presses, which
can be very useful in situations that require one-hand access. This can
also make navigation easier. The volume buttons  [VolUp] and  [VolDown] are
used to replace the  [ Up] and  [Down] direction keys for this purpose, and
long presses of these keys move to different areas on the screen, or
emulate the  [Select] key that is not present on touch-screen devices. This
use of the volume buttons can be disabled when it is not desirable for a
particular situation, and it is off by default for applications where you
most likely want to use these keys to change the volume, like when on a
phone call or when in the music player. (For more details, see .)

 When you view a web page with TALKS, you can use the volume buttons to
move line by line, or to execute the current web element, and TALKS uses an
invisible grid to enable quick navigation to certain objects on that web
page, like headings or links (see section for details). This does not let
sighted users access the web as usual. However, they can see where you are,
since the area of the screen that is being read is scrolled into view.

The following table lists typical keys of a touch-screen handset and their
functions. Note that some devices, like the Nokia N97 or N97 Mini, also
come with a QWERTY keyboard, which can be very useful for faster text
input, or to execute TALKS commands.

                     Note that this key can just be a touch-sensitive    
                     area, like on the Nokia N97 or N97 Mini, while it   
                     can also be a physical key, like for the Nokia      
                     5800 or X6. Some recent models, such as the Nokia   
                     N8-00, do not posess a  [Call] key at all.          
                                                                         
                     To make phones without a physical  [Call] key       
                     easier to use, TALKS supports a special keyboard    
                     shortcut: you can press  [TALKS],  [Power] to       
                     perform the same function as the missing key. With  
                     standard settings, this means pressing and          
                     releasing the  [Menu] key, followed by pressing     
                     and releasing the  [Power] key.                     
Ĵ
 [Exit]              Press this key to terminate a phone call that is    
                     in progress. The key also acts as a shortcut that   
                     takes you straight to the phone application. In     
                     addition, it also lets you reject an incoming call. 
                                                                         
                     Note this key can just be a touch-sensitive area,   
                     like on the Nokia N97 or N97 Mini, or it can also   
                     be a physical key, like on the Nokia 5800 or X6.    
                     As with  [Call], some phones even do not have an    
                     [Exit] key at all.                                  
                                                                         
                     TALKS includes a keyboard shortcut to simulate the  
                     function of the  [Exit] key: pressing  [TALKS],     
                     [long Power] has the same effect. With standard     
                     settings, this means pressing and releasing the     
                     [Menu] key, followed by pressing the  [Power] key,  
                     holding it for about one second, and releasing it   
                     again. Please note that this key combination only   
                     takes effect after the  [Power] key has been        
                     released.                                           
Ĵ
 [Menu]              The [Menu] key calls up the phone's main menu,      
                     from which you can start applications, change the   
                     order of the applications in the menu, and move     
                     applications to a different folder. To see a list   
                     of the active applications, to switch to a          
                     different one, or to close an application, press    
                     and hold [Menu].                                    
                                                                         
                     Note, that  [Menu] is used as the default  [TALKS]  
                     key, and it must be pressed twice to retain its     
                     original function.                                  
Ĵ
 [Lock]              This is a slide switch that allows locking and      
                     unlocking the phone. When the handset is locked,    
                     you cannot use its touch screen nor its other keys. 
Ĵ
 [VolUp], [VolDown]  Without TALKS, or when you disable their            
                     navigation function, these keys can be used to      
                     change the volume of a phone call or audio          
                     playback. TALKS repurposes these keys as            
                     navigation keys: Short presses move up and down in  
                     a list or text field, and a long press allows       
                     choosing different areas on the screen, or          
                     selecting the current object.                       
Ĵ
 [Power]             Press this key briefly to select another profile,   
                     lock the keypad, lock the phone against             
                     unauthorized access, or turn off the phone. To      
                     turn off the phone quickly, or to turn it on,       
                     press and hold this key.                            

2.2   Making a call

You can make a call in two ways--by entering the phone number or by
selecting a name from the Contacts directory (phone book).

To make a phone call by entering a number:

1. Go to the Stand-By application by pressing the  [Exit] key; on handsets
with a touch screen, you need to select  [Key 1] (Telephone) in Stand-by
mode to open the text field and enter a phone number using the virtual
keyboard. Please note that on some handsets the virtual keyboard is opened
instead by pressing the  [Middle] soft key on the touch screen which is
located in between  [Key 1] and [Key 2].

2. Key in the phone number that you want to dial.

Note: To delete a digit, press  [Clear].

3. Press  [Call].

To call a number in your Contacts directory:

4. Start the  Contacts application; you can often find it in the list of
application icons or as an assigned soft key on the Stand-By screen, which
you can reach by pressing  [Exit]. Alternatively, you can find the
Contacts application in your phone's menu, and press  [Select] or double
tap it to start the application.

The Contacts directory appears.

5. From the list, use either of these methods to select a name:

 Press the  [Up] or  [Down] key until you reach the desired name.

Or

 Key in the first few letters of the name to restrict the list to entries
whose first or last name begins with those letters, and then press  [Up] or
 [Down] until you reach the desired name.

For devices with a touch screen, you can select a name by tapping upon it,
and then tapping a soft key on the lower end of the display for the desired
action. To scroll the page up/down, you can tap upon the upper/lower end of
the scroll bar on the right end of the display. To enter letters to
restrict the shown entries, you can tap upon the edit field found under the
names, and then select one of the displayed letters.

To switch between the list of individual contacts and a list of groups (if
your Contacts directory contains any lists), press  [Right] or  [Left]. If
your Contacts directory has more than two tabs, press  [Right] again to
view contact groups on another tab.

For handsets with a touch screen, tap upon the right side of the tab sheet
header to get to the next tab sheet. Alternatively, you can press  [Long
VolUp] and then select a tab sheet with [VolDown] and  [VolUp]; confirm by
pressing  [Long VolDown].

6. Press  [Call].

If the name is associated with only one number, the phone dials that
number. If the name is associated with more than one number, the phone
displays the numbers so that you can select one.

During a phone call, you can speak with your phone at your ear or use the
loudspeaker.

To switch between ear mode and loudspeaker mode:

 Press  [Key 2].

To adjust the volume:

 Press the  Volume key in the desired direction; if non is available, use
[Left] or  [Right].

2.3 Answering a call and reading the caller's identity

When your phone rings, the phone application automatically becomes active.
These are your options:

 Answer the call: Press the  [Call] key.

 On phones without a touch screen: Mute the ringing and have TALKS
announce the caller's identity (if available): Press  [Key 2] ( Mute) while
the phone is ringing. To repeat this announcement, press  [TALKS], [Up].

 Reject the incoming call (at any time): Press  [Exit].

For devices with a touch screen, the best way to ensure you can read the
caller ID is to lock the keypad. When the phone rings, you can press the
[Lock] key, which will unlock the touch screen and mute the ring tone; you
can then explore the display to read the caller ID, or press  [TALKS],
[VolUp] to have it read to you.

2.4  Entering text

If you want to enter text on your phone's numeric keyboard, you can use
either of two methods:

 The traditional method, in which you press a number key once, twice, or
more to access each letter that you need

 A predictive method, T9(R), in which you press the number key
corresponding to each letter only once and the software "guesses" the word
that you are writing by matching it to words in a dictionary

Both phones with a QWERTY keyboard and a numeric keypad can offer an
extension of T9, called XT9(R). In addition to the functions of T9, XT9
offers word completion and correction.

For touch screen handsets with no physical keyboard or keypad, we recommend
that you use the virtual number pad to enter text, since the keys are easy
to distinguish after some practice, and XT9 will still help you to maintain
a good input speed after some training. Note that you have to tap upon a
text field, or press  [Long VolDown] upon a selected text field, to open
the virtual keypad. While editing, you can use the virtual  [Left] and
[Right] keys to review text you have entered; when done, press the "Close"
button found in the upper left corner of the display. The keys on the
number pad work as described below.

2.4.1   Traditional text input

Several letters are associated with each number key, so in the traditional
text-messaging method, you sometimes need to press a key several times to
reach the desired letter. For example, to enter the name Charlie, you start
by pressing [2] three times. The first time you press the key, the letter a
appears; then b appears, and finally, c. Next, you press the  [4] key twice
to reach the letter h, and so on.

To enter a letter twice:

 Press the key for that letter, pause briefly until the cursor reappears
on the screen, and then press the key a second time.

To enter a digit:

 Press the key for that digit, and hold it down for about a second. Note
that this is not yet supported for touch screens; instead, you have to
press the respective key until the associated number shows up, or press the
 [#] key until the text field is in numbers mode, and then you can enter
the digits.

shows the number keys that the letters and other characters are associated
with. The variants refer to language-specific characters such as letters
with accents and diacritical marks.

Some non-digit keys have special uses:

  [*]: When you press this key in a text field, when using a handset with
an  [Edit] key, a window appears with punctuation marks and symbols. Use
the navigation keys to scroll to a character, and press  [Select] to insert
the character into your text. When no  [Edit] key is present, this displays
a list of most recently used symbols, and you can press the [Down] key to
see more options. In this case, a long press of [*] gets you straight to
the symbols list. Note that the symbols list is not yet supported for
devices with only a touch screen, so you should avoid using it. It can
however be used from the keyboard on devices with both a touch screen and a
keyboard.

  [#]: This key has several functions, depending on the way you press it:

q When you press  [#] normally, the case switches from upper to lower or
vice versa for the next letters that you enter. The phone application
automatically determines which case is appropriate. On phones that do not
have an  [Edit] key, further presses of  [#] cycle through all edit modes,
including turning the dictionary on or off, and numeric mode.

q When you press and hold  [#] on a phone with an  [Edit] key, the entry
mode switches between alphanumeric (letters and numbers) and numeric. This
is used to mark text on phones that do not have an  [Edit] key.

q When you press  [#] twice in a rapid succession on a handset with an
[Edit] key, the T9 method is activated or deactivated.

Note: When you press  [#], TALKS announces the case and the entry mode
(alphanumeric or numeric). If the T9 text-entry method is active, TALKS
announces "Dictionary." (You can also press  [TALKS], [Long Key 2] to have
TALKS read out this information; see section ), and it is read out
automatically by default, whenever you reach a text field.

2.4.2  Predictive text input--the T9 method

To activate the T9 method:

 On a handset with an  [Edit] key, press  [#],[#], or press  [TALKS],
[TALKS] and select  Dictionary on.

 On a handset without the  [Edit] key, press  [#] multiple times, until
TALKS announces "Dictionary on".

With the T9 method, you find the key with the letter that you need and
press it only once. As you enter each letter, the software makes
comparisons with the words in the dictionary and the display changes; the
letters on the screen might be completely unrelated to what you are
writing. However, when you finish entering the word, the software displays
it on the screen.

Note: You must press a key for every letter in the word; the software does
not complete words for you.

If the final word that the software displays is the correct one, you can
enter a punctuation mark or start entering the next word.

To enter a punctuation mark:

 For a period, press  [1].

 For a punctuation mark other than a period, press  [1], [*]. Then press
[*] repeatedly until you reach the punctuation mark that you want.

To correct the final displayed word if it is not what you intended, use one
of these methods:

 View other matches from the dictionary: With the cursor on the word,
repeatedly press the  [*] key until the word that you want appears. Then
select the word.

 View a list of all the dictionary matches: On a phone with an [Edit] key,
select  [Edit] and  Dictionary. Then select  Matches. This option is
visible only if there is more than one match. On handsets that do not have
an  [Edit] key, you can press  [Key 1] (Options) to access the text entry
menu, and find this function.

 If none of the suggested matches fits, edit the word with the traditional
input method: Press  [Key 1] ( Spell).

2.4.3   Predictive text input--the XT9 method

XT9 adds word completion and correction to the T9 functions. This is
described based upon the Nokia E71, which has a QWERTY keyboard, where T9
obviously would not make any sense.

To enable or disable predictive text input:

 Press  [Fn]+[Space] to display the text input options.

 Select  Predictive text, then  On or  Off.

To change the  predictive text settings:

 Press  [Fn]+[Space] to display the text input options.

 Select  Settings.

The following settings are available:

  Typing correction: When set to  Medium, XT9 will correct words based
upon similarity. High will additionally check for the possibility that you
have pressed keys that are close to the desired ones. If you set this to
Off, no word correction will occur.

  Auto word completion: When this option is turned on, a list of suggested
completions will be displayed after typing a few letters of a word. When it
is turned off, you have to type all letters. Wword completion assumes that
one can perceive all proposed word completions; thus, it requires a lot of
practice to use this feature as a visually challenged person.

  Suggested words: If one of the two options above is enabled, this
determines the maximum number of words that are proposed.

When writing text while XT9 is turned on, the word proposed for the typed
number of letters is used by default. You can use the  [Down] key to get to
the list of proposed alternatives, and select one of them by pressing the
[Right] key, or the  [Up] key to get to the text that you have just
entered, and press  [Right] to use this text, and add it to the dictionary.

2.5   Adding an entry to the Contacts directory

7. In the Contacts directory, press  [Key 1] ( Options) and select  New
contact. For devices with a touch screen, you can simply press  [Key 5]
(New contact).

A contact card opens.

8. Enter the person's name and at least one phone number. For handsets with
a touch screen, it is best to use the  [VolDown] and  [VolUp] keys to
select the field you wish to edit, and then either tap upon it, or press
[Long VolDown] to open the virtual keypad, since TALKS only speaks the
currently selected text field when you explore the display.

9. If you want to enter more information--for example, another phone
number--press  [Key 1] ( Options), select  Add detail, and enter the
additional information.

10. Press  [Key 2] ( Done) to save the entry in the Contacts directory.

2.6 Sending a text message

11. Press  [Menu], and select  Messaging.

12. Press  [Select] to select the first option,  New Message.

13. Press  [Select] to select the short text message option (you can select
 Multimedia message or  E-mail if preferred). For newer handsets, the
system automatically chooses the right type of message by default.

The  Text message window appears.

14. Enter the recipient's phone number by either of these methods:

 In the  To field, key in the phone number.

Or

 Press  [Key 1] ( Options), select  Add recipient, select an entry in the
Contacts directory, and press  [Key 1] ( OK) to confirm your choice.

15. In the  Text message window, press  [Down] once to go to the text
field, and enter and edit your message.

16. Press  [Call] to send the message.

2.7  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.

To switch profiles:

 Briefly press the  [Power] key, and from the menu, select a profile.

To modify a profile:

17. Press  [Menu ], and select  Profiles. On some phones, this can be found
in a folder called "Control Panel" or "Settings".

18. Select the profile that you want to modify.

19. From the  Options menu, select  Personalise.

20. Select the property that you want to change.

21. Scroll through the options, and press  [Select] to choose an option.

2.8  Browsing the Internet

2.8.1   Web accessibility

The Nuance Accessibility Suite for S60 offers access to the Nokia Web
browser used on handsets running S60 3rd Edition, and to the Nokia WAP
browser. It does not offer access to the Opera or NetFront(R) browser,
which you can find on some S60 phones as well. The Web browser is called
Internet, located in the phone's main menu, and it can only be found on S60
3rd Edition handsets. To find the WAP browser on your phone, go to the main
menu, and look for  Web or  Services. Handsets running S60 3rd Edition FP1
and later do no longer offer a separate application icon to start the Nokia
WAP browser; instead, it is executed by the Web browser when viewing a
"classic WAP" (WML) page. The option  WWW is usually associated with other
browsers.

The Nokia WAP browser supports access to WAP (Wireless Application
Protocol) and limited access to HTML pages on the Internet. WAP is an open,
global specification that lets mobile users with wireless devices easily
access and interact with information and services. WAP pages are usually
optimized for small devices and thus load faster than most HTML pages.

TALKS offers full support for the Web browser, by providing its content in
a virtual buffer, similar to what PC screen readers do. Key commands help
you get to the part of a web page you are interested in. By contrast, for
the WAP browser TALKS cannot gain access to the underlying WML (Wireless
Markup Language) or HTML code of a page. Therefore, TALKS relies completely
on what is shown on the display of your phone. As a result, you should not
expect to hear details about the structure of these pages or a continuous
readout of the complete content, which you get when using the Web browser.
However, TALKS recognizes the types of objects that you can select and
announces textual content. The type of page that can or cannot be read also
depends on the version of the WAP browser. Newer phones or firmware
versions usually offer better access, particularly to HTML pages.

2.8.2 Configuring your phone for the Internet

To use the Internet on your phone, you need to configure the phone
according to the requirements of your mobile network provider. In some
cases, the configuration settings can be sent to your phone in a special
SMS message, in which case you do not have to perform the configuration
manually; you just have to save the configuration message. Contact your
network provider's service representative to find out whether you can
obtain such a configuration message. If not, the service representative can
probably tell you how to perform the configuration.

Note: If you have a Nokia phone, you can obtain the configuration message
from the Nokia website ( ). Select your location, and then select  Support
and Phone  Settings. Follow the instructions and enter the requested data.
Nokia will send the configuration message to your phone free of charge.

Newer Nokia phone models also come with a Settings utility that you can
find in the main menu. This utility automatically identifies your network
provider and then performs your phone's Internet configuration.

2.8.3  Getting started with the  Web browser

2.8.3.1   Starting  and configuring  the browser

On any handset running S60 3rd Edition, you can start the Web browser by
pressing  [Select] on the  Internet icon that can be found in your phone's
main menu. Another way to start the browser on handsets running S60 3rd
Edition FP1 is pressing  [0] for about one second on the Stand-by screen.

When any web page is displayed, you can press  [Key 1] ("Options"), and
choose "Bookmarks" to display the list of bookmarks. You can type a web
address when these bookmarks are displayed. Note that the Web browser will
automatically start your entry with " ", and you have to delete this text
if this is not what you want.

With "Options" and choosing "Settings", you can change the browser
settings, organized in three or four categories.

The browser can be setup to start in your list of bookmarks, or on a
selected web page. You can also turn off loading pictures to save time and
data traffic.

To ensure that the TALKS browser support is available, you should not turn

and links on this page.

f. To locate the text box for your search term, you can press  [8], which
corresponds to "T" on your phone keypad, or explore the touch display to
find the "Next text field" virtual key, and then tap it.

g. Now, press  [Select] (or  [Long VolDown] on a touch handset) to enter a
search term; let's use "The Beatles". If a popup appears to let you enter
the text, select  [Key 1] ("OK") to close it after typing.

A complete list of commands available when reading a web page in the Web
browser can be found in chapter .

2.8.4   Getting started  with the  WAP browser

The following applies to handsets that allow you to start the WAP browser
separately; it does not apply to devices running S60 3rd Edition FP1 or
later.

2.8.4.1  Starting and configuring the  WAP  browser

To start the  WAP  browser, use either of these methods:

 In the main menu, select  Web or  Services, depending on your phone
model.

A list of bookmarks appears; it probably contains a few predefined
bookmarks.

Or

 In the phone application, press and hold  [0] for about one second.

The browser opens to a page that was defined in the settings for your WAP
connection.

Note: To open the list of bookmarks when a web page is displayed, press
[Key 1] ( Options) and select  Bookmarks.

To ensure that TALKS offers the best browsing experience, you can set it to
show text descriptions instead of images.

To set TALKS to show text descriptions instead of images:

22. Press  [Key 1] ( Options), and select  Settings.

23. Set  Display images to  No.

2.8.4.2 Let's search!

One of the most frequently used search engines on the Internet is
Google(R), and now you can access it using your mobile phone. The Google
WAP pages are optimized for wireless devices.

To access Google:

24. In the  Bookmarks window, type this command:

wap.google.com.

25. Press  [Key 1] ( Go to).

If you haven't connected to the Internet yet, the application might ask you
to confirm that you want to connect to the Internet. The Google page is
loaded, and TALKS announces the soft keys-- Options and  Back--followed by
all the text on the page up to the first active object on the page.

TALKS reads selected objects as "focused." When objects are scrolled into
view but are not selected, TALKS names them with their type. Selectable
objects can be links, text fields, check boxes, lists, and so on.

To move to another selectable object:

 Press  [Up],  [Down], [Left], or  [Right].

Note: If you press  [Left] or  [Right] and no selectable object exists in
that direction, some versions of the browser go to the next screen or the
previous screen of the web page.

To scroll through text line by line:

 Press  [Down] or [Up].

To perform a search in Google:

26. Press  [Down], and listen to the TALKS announcements.

27. Wait for the announcement "Focused edit," which means that you have
reached an editing (text) field.

28. Type the text that you want to search for. If your phone is running
Symbian version 6.1, press  [Select] and then type the text. For example,
type this text:

Nuance Talks

29. Press  [Down].

TALKS announces, "Focused button Google Search."

30. Press  [Select] to activate the Google Search button.

The search results are displayed, and TALKS reads the page.

31. Press  [ Down ] to find the relevant search result. (In our example,
the Nuance TALKS page appears near the top of the search results.)

32. When you hear TALKS announce the page, press  [Select].

The browser displays the selected page. In our example, the Nuance TALKS
web page appears. Note that the TALKS pages offer a  Skip navigation link
at the top, which takes you straight to the main content of the page. This
feature is also useful for sighted people browsing the Internet with
wireless devices.

2.9 Reading a help topic

Many of the more specific features of your phone are described in the
online help topics that come with it. This section describes the use of
online help for S60 2nd Edition, and S60 3rd Edition up to FP1. Handsets
running S60 3rd Edition FP2, 5th Edition, or Symbian^3 use a different help
system that is based on the built-in web browser, and can be made
accessible by pressing  [T ALKS ],  [Down] to convert the page into a
readable format and start reading.

Typically, if an  Options menu is available, it contains a  Help option
that takes you straight to a brief topic about the active application.

To access a help topic:

33. In the main menu, select  Help.

A list of help topics appears.

34. Locate content by using one of these methods:

 Scroll through the list of topics by pressing  [Up] or  [Down]. When you
reach a topic that interests you, press  [Select] to view a list of
subtopics and press  [Up] or  [Down] to scroll through them.

 In the search field, type the first letter or two of the topic that you
want to find. When you reach a topic that interests you, press  [Select] to
view a list of subtopics and press  [Up] or  [Down] to scroll through them.

 View an index of keywords by pressing  [Right]. Scroll through the list
by pressing  [Up] or  [Down], or type the first few letters of the keyword
that you want to find. When you reach the keyword that interests you, press
 [Select] to view a list of topics containing that keyword, and press [Up]
or  [Down] to scroll through the topics.

35. To open the help topic and read it, press  [Select].

2.10  Navigation using Ovi Maps

TALKS supports the Ovi Maps 3 application that is either built-in or
available as a free download for most devices from Series 60 3rd Edition
FP1 onwards. This applications presents a special challenge to screen
readers because of the graphical user interfaces that departs significantly
from standards used elsewhere on the phone.

Due to the variations in user interface between Ovi Maps releases and
between touch and keyboard phones, the amount of information that is spoken
by TALKS can vary somewhat. Generally, important details and focussed items
are read as usual in most views, or they are available by "exploring" the
touch screen.

It is useful to keep in mind that Ovi Maps can display different map views,
called "My Position", "Walk" and "Drive" (with Drive again having several
variants such as "2D map", "3D map" or "Arrow view" while following a
route). Depending on the current view, different keyboard commands are
available:

 On the "My Position" screen, TALKS reads the address of the current
position by default. Pressing  [Talks], [long Key 2] for additional
information also reads the city/region.

 While following a route on the "Drive" and "Walk" screens, TALKS will
read the street and distance to the next turn by default, and give
additional information (e.g. current position, distance to destination
etc.) when pressing  [Talks],[long Key 2].

 While following a route in "driving" mode, it is possible to preview the
next turns by pressing  [Up] several times. This will read the street names
and distances to travel for each of the turns. This feature is not
available in "walking" mode.

 While following a route, the standard keyboard commands of Ovi Maps can
be used, such as  [4] to repeat reading of the last instruction and  [2] to
save the current position as a favourite.
