Hi Jackie - I'm using US Elloquence too! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 2:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: emoticons | Andy, that's interesting. What voice are you using on your phone? I | ask because someone asked me the very same question recently. She is | using Daniel on her phone, and doesn't get the faces announced, only | punctuation that is correct for the smiley or sad faces. I use the | American Eloquence on mine, and it's always worked a treat. | | Just a thought. | | Jackie Cairns | Braille Support Adviser | Email: Jackie.Cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | Sight and Sound Technology | Welton House North Wing | Summerhouse Road | Moulton Park | Northampton | NN3 6WD | Telephone: 01604 798024 | Fax: 01604 798090 | Web: www.sightandsound.co.uk | | -----Original Message----- | From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf | Of Andy Collins | Sent: 03 December 2008 13:54 | To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Subject: [access-uk] Re: emoticons | | Jackie - Seems like I've missed a trick here!
