[gui-talk] Cell Phone Help

[Wayne Merritt]

I've heard that they're both similar, like JAWS and Window Eyes. I think its 
just a matter of what you like and are comfortable with. I got Talks 
because, at the time, it was cheaper. Plus, upon reflection, it didn't seem 
like you had to get extra programs for it like Mobile Speak has. In other 
words, it seemed like Talks worked better with things out of the box that 
came on the phone. But, that's just my own opinion. I would advise someone 
who's interested, to try both for the usual 30 day demo period and then make 
their decision.
