Hi Carol
Right, I have tried writing a smiley face with colon dash right bracket
using my work N82 which has the very latest edition of Talks on there. And
when I Talks and up arrow, or move the arrow key up then down to read the
line again - whichever is your preference - it says "smiley face", so it
does definitely work. I have punctuation set to none. Setting it to some,
most or all does not say "smiley face" and, to my knowledge, never has.
I hope this clarifies for anyone wanting to try it.
Kind regards,
J

Hi Eleanor,
OK, sorry ...
I need to backtrack.
I used to use it a lot in Version 3 and it worked, as it were, out of the
box!
I have used it in Version 4 but just written in the key strokes and not
really read the result. When I did, I too found that it didn't read the
"smiley face" to me.
I am pretty sure that in Version 3 there was a dictionary (in Talks) that
defined these smileys. There no longer seems to be this dictionary by
default, so we possibly have to put them into the user dictionary ourselves
in order that they will speak again.
Can anyone confirm this or work out what the problem is from what I'm
saying.
Sorry, Eleanor, my head's all over the place this week and I wasn't too
coherent when last I wrote because I should have explained that I hadn't
really checked it all out in Version 4.
Anyway, now perhaps someone will help us both sort it, but I rather thank
that we have to enter the :] (Smiley) into the User Dictionary. ...
Hope someone can help further, please.
