[nabs-l] Talks versus Mobile Speak

[Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.]

Catie and others,

I use Mobile speak, and am just about to switch to Talks with the KNFB 
reader phone I will use as a dealer in that camp.

I hear that Mobile speak tends to crash a lot, and that may just be that 
Windows Mobile crashes a lot.

I have also heard from my girlfriend that Talks is more stable, and sounds 
better since it uses the eloquence speech.

one should consider Mobile Speak if they are likely to use GPS software. I 
find Mobile Geo superior to Way Finder Access, and the latter is not being 
updated and further developed for the time being.
