Nuance Talks & Zooms is an accessibility application which includes a Screen Reader and Magnifier for Nokia’s Symbian 3rd, 5th and Symbian^3 edition handsets for visually impaired users. Nuance has announced the release of the Nuance Accessibility Suite - Nuance TALKS and ZOOMS - Version 5.50 supporting Series 60 3rd Edition / 5th Edition / Symbian^3.
Version 5.50 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 supported only on Series 60 3rd Edition and 5th Edition phones.
Nuance said: “As you all know, TALKS&ZOOMS is an application that operates on the Nokia/Symbian platform. In October 2012, the Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2, widely considered the last major update for Symbian, was released and the Symbian Signed program closed on January 1st 2014. Without
further Symbian updates and the vital signing process, Nuance Communications regrettably cannot create further releases of the TALKS&ZOOMS application. Nuance Communications will however continue to support and champion TALKS&ZOOMS while it is still viable to do so
and within the available technical options.
As the availability of Symbian phones is further declining, Nuance Communications in partnership with Code Factory S.L invites you to try Mobile Accessibility for Android; our Screen Reading solution for the
Android platform. Enjoy using a robust Screen Reading solution with a familiar set of Text-To-Speech voices for the world's most popular mobile platform. Visit Code Factory on:

In addition, we are excited to offer an accessible keyboard for Android. Nuance Swype now provides Text-To-Speech feedback to users of the popular Swype keyboard application. Find out more on:

Nuance Communications does not have immediate plans to develop and productize new screen readers for mobile handset platforms. We will however continue to work closely with our many partners in the
industry and in particular in the accessibility markets to make available our market-leading Text-To-Speech voices in many accessibility products across different platforms and applications.”
