Firstly on facebook I got people to say whether they liked predictive text or 
preferred standard text and it was quite close with something like 14 
preferring predictive and 12 preferring standard.  In predictive text each 
press of a number is done once and the system guesses which word you intend.so 
pressing 2 3 times with predictive text on produces the word cab.  That is the 
only actual 3 letter word I can think of containing the letters a b and c.  the 
rest are initials such as BBC etc.  If I were to use ordinary texting then cab 
would be formed by pressing: 222 wait a second or so, 2 wait a second 22
With predictive text turned on I just type 222 with no pauses.of course some 
combinations can have more than one word attached to them.  3663 could be food, 
good or done for example.  When this happens and the first choice is the wrong 
word then press star to go between the choices.

The predictive texting system tends to remember which word you most often 
choose from the list and set this as the default.  You can also add words such 
as the town where you live if this is not in the built-in dictionary.

Graham

I kind of know about predictive text but haven't tried it yet.  Does it work 
well with Talks?
My phone does have net access although I haven't tried it yet.
Really appreciating your time and trouble with me.
Thanks

I am not sure that your phone has internet capability but I am sure someone 
else on list will be able to comment. You might like to listen to the CD you 
may have got with the phone about Talks. Alternatively go to the blindsea 
website where you can go to mobile corner and download the Talks 4 manual. 
Worth a read. Do you know about predictive text for instance?

There are 3 tab sheets, if I'm understanding the question properly.  Please
do bombard me if you have time; I'm most grateful and would like to know
what Talks can do.
Thanks

Hi Amie

As with most good software, a newer version generally fixes bugs or reported
issues that were troublesome in a previous update.  When you go into the
Talks program itself by pressing Talks key then star, how many tab sheets
are there?  Talks Premium supports Braille and has dictionary enhancements
among other things.

If you bought your phone from a store such as Vodafone, it is most likely
you were given Talks Standard.  This is ok and perfectly acceptable if you
simply want to use Talks for its intended purchase.  But if you want to add
a few more bells and whistles, then you have the opportunity to upgrade to
Talks Premium and get the latest version.  I don't want to bombard you with
complexities and jargon though if it's all new to you.

HI Jackie
Everything helps; I know nothing!  What's better about Talks Premium or
Talks 5 please?  Is it worth upgrading?

Hi Amie

Talks 4 is fine, but just to let you know that Talks 5 is available as a
free download.  You can get this from either www.comproom.co.uk or
www.talknav.com

If you purchased your phone through Vodafone, they would likely have put
Talks Standard on it, so you could pay £50 to upgrade to Talks Premium if
you wanted to.

Hope this helps a bit.

Subject: [talks-uk] Which Talks version, RE: Re: Hello talks people

Hi and thanks to all who told me about the star key.  IF the question is
which version of Talks, is Nuance Talks 4 a reasonable answer?  It’s the
version they put on when I bought the phone, near the beginning of this
year.

Thanks again.

Hi Amie.

 

First you need to be aware that on all phones with Talks installed there is
a key called the Talks Key.  The key used varies slightly from phone to
phone so if you can’t find this key then let us know which phone you have.

 

Secondly there are 2 keys called soft keys 1 and 2 which are generally to
the left and right of the display.  These are used with the phone whether or
not Talks is installed.

 

To find out the version number you need to go into the talks window.  It’s a
bit like going to the JAWS window on the PC, except the talks window is not
permanently   displayed on screen.  To do this press talks key followed by
star (which is to the left of 0)

 

Once in the talks window press soft key 1 which brings up an options menu.
Arrow down to about and the version number should be spoken..

 

Regards

 

Graham

I’m new to the list; have been reading and wondering where to begin with
questions.  Realised you’re all referring to the versions of Talks you use
and I don’t even know which one I have, or how to find out.  Figured the
first question I need to ask you is how do I find out which version of Talks
I’m using,please?  Once I know that I’ll truly entertain you with my
ineptitude!

TIA

Amie
