Carol I have had to put it in the User dictionary and now it is fine and there when I write it.

OK, Jackie, this gets more weird!I've switched punctuation to "None" and written my message and still nothing! Weird!-- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 6:57 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Smily FaceHi 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.

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. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 5:12 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Smily FaceIt did not work Jackie, that is my problem. Also Amro had a suggestion about pressing the No 1 key on the keypad if predictive text is turned on, that does not work for me either. I think Carol was going to try it. How about it then Carol? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 4:23 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Smily Face Hi Eleanor I haven't used the E71, so don't know anything about it. But I can't imagine it being much different from any of those I have used. Presumably you have punctuation set to none or some, in which case, you should hear Talks say "smiley face". As for writing one in a message, then hearing it, press up arrow and then down arrow to read the last few words you have written, including "smiley face", or Talks and down arrow to read the entire message you have written. If doing all this doesn't work, I'm stuffed! (smiley face).

Like I said I just get some sort of 'click' sound. Strange that as when someone sends one to me, it says smily face. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carol Pearson <mailto:carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 9:52 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Smily Face Ah!

You can do them with or without the dashes. Actually if predictive text is turned on, pressing number 1 twice gives you the smiley face. If you press number 1 twice then cycle through the predictions with the star key the sad face is the second or third item on the list of predictions.
