Nuance has released the latest version of Nuance Talks&Zooms 5.31.4. Nuance Talks&Zooms is a popular screen reader and screen magnifier application (Accessibility Suite) for Nokia’s Symbian S60 3rd Edition, 5th Edition, Symbian^3, Anna and Belle platforms. There is no new supported phones or new supported applications or new features to be highlighted. See the full release notes below. Download links is also available at the bottom of this post.

“We proudly announce the release of the Nuance Accessibility Suite - Nuance TALKS
and ZOOMS - Version 5.31 supporting Series 60 3rd Edition / 5th Edition / Symbian^3
for November 6th, 2012.
Version 5.31 is a free upgrade for all Premium Edition licenses generated after
November 13th, 2007 (the release date of TALKS 3.50 for 3rd Edition). In particular, this
means that it can be installed by any customer who is currently able to run version 4.11 or
5 without requiring a new license.
Please note that, as in previous versions, ZOOMS screen magnification is currently
supported only on Series 60 3rd Edition and 5th Edition phones.
Changes to the list of supported phones
There are no changes to the list of supported phones in the version. It already resolves
some issues with the support for the Belle FP1 firmware (which is used, for example, in
the Nokia 808 PureView), but we are continuing to look at some remaining compatibility
problems.
The Belle FP2 firmware update (only available for recent touch-only models, such as the
Nokia 701 and 808 PureView) is not yet supported, and upgrading the firmware should
be avoided because it will render some parts of the system, such as the keyboard,
inaccessible.
What's New?
This section lists the improvements of TALKS&ZOOMS 5.31 compared to the previous
version (5.30).
New version of Vocalizer:
* Vocalizer 5.60.1: this version includes the latest updates from ongoing Vocalizer
product development, with various improvements across several languages as
voices.
New features:
* On recent 3rd Edition FP2 phones, emoticons (smileys) in text messages and the
symbol table are now read.
* Improved automatic reading of "call waiting" screen (if TALKS is not muted
permanently during call). In most situations, an incoming call should not be
announced without the need to press any additional keys.
* Last spoken phrase can be copied to clipboard using [Talks],[long 8]. This copies
the phrase "as spoken", so that the names of some punctuation characters may be
included as words in addition to the characters themselves, depending on the
punctuation setting. As a confirmation, the phrase is spoken again.
Browser improvements:
* Combo boxes can be opened using [Select] in browser 7.3/7.4.
* Now supports text input fields using new HTML5-style field types. The
increasing use of this new type of control was the reason why text fields on some
popular pages stopped working with TALKS lately.
* "Reset" buttons in forms are now displayed as well.
* Now also supports "This page" links that go to an object identified by an ID
attribute rather than its anchor name.
* Improved word-wrapping in virtual buffer for long text sections on web pages,
especially in non-Latin scripts, to avoid cutting off sentence ends.
* Added support for BUTTON element in HTML
* Fixed repeating of "Text area" when typing in browser 7.3
* Clickable images outside of links with no alt/title text are now supported.
Application support:
* Fixed problems reading text field in WhatsApp 2.06.78.
* Labeled some additional icons (e.g. browser on C6-00, appointment flag in C6-00
month view, keyboard in Belle FP1).
* Allowed manual labeling of some currently unlabeled icons, e.g. on-screen
buttons in Symbian^3 camera app.
Other changes:
* Character count is no longer repeated when entering a message in latest E6-00
firmware
* Added [Talk],[long 3] shortcut as alternative to [Talks],[long Exit] which does not
work in Standby screen on phones which do not have a dedicated power key
* Fixed: App screen could temporarily become non-explorable after closing the
virtual keyboard, if no characters have been entered for about five seconds.
* Fixed: Crash of camera application on Nokia 808 PureView.
Known Issues with specific phones and apps
This section lists some frequently reported known problems and limitations that may
occur when using TALKS with particular handsets or apps:
* Reading of phone screen is currently a bit verbose (e.g. name of caller repeated
more than once), as a result of new caller ID support and some blinking icons.
* Nokia C6-00: Using [Talks] shortcuts involving a digit key is not possible in the
stand-by screen of this phone.
* Daisy2go on Symbian Anna: after adding a new book to the bookshelf, the
application will close. However, the book is added correctly and can be used after
starting the application again.
* Nokia E7-00: the default [Talks] key on this phone is the [Menu] key at the front
of the device. On phones without Symbian Anna update, this key will not behave
correctly if it is pressed twice too quickly, or if the touch screen is used within
about a second after pressing [Talks]. It is recommended to upgrade to Symbian
Anna, or to always wait a moment after pressing the [Talks] key on this phone.
* Symbian^3 (without Symbian Anna update): double-tapping on a scroll bar may
lead to a restart of the phone, especially if it is done quickly after opening a new
window.
* Nokia C5-03: In the List view of the main menu, no cursor is displayed when
moving around with the side keys, so the focus is not spoken. As a workaround,
use either Grid view, or explore the screen to select menu items.
* Touch phones, mostly 5th Edition: Currently, some menus for switching to other
keyboard layouts and for picking suggestions from the T9 dictionary are not fully
accessible. Switching to other keyboard layouts is not recommended on 5th
Edition phones, as some of them (e.g. mini-Qwerty or handwriting) are not yet
supported by TALKS, and can be difficult to exit.
* 5th Edition only: On some phones opening the symbol table in the on-screen
keyboard can lead to the keyboard stopping to take input until you press [Exit] to
go to the main menu, and then return to the application where you were entering
text.
* 5th Edition only: text entry into an object announced as "Fields" (e.g. a date or a
time) is not supported well by this version of TALKS, as the virtual keyboard
cannot be used with speech. This limits the use of the Calendar and Clock
applications that rely on these types of objects for date and time input.
* N97: training mode will read the digits, rather than the letters, for the keys in the
top row of the QWERTY keyboard.
* 3rd Edition (FP1 and FP2): the "Search" application is not supported.
* 3rd Edition FP2: You will notice a slow response of voice recognition "beep" after holding [Key 2] when TALKS is not muted
* E75: When using ZOOMS, moving around the screen by holding down the cursor
keys is currently not possible. The magnified portion of the screen always follows
the current focus position.
