Hi Amro Yes, I got them too, thank you. I agree with you in setting it up so that the provider's name is still announced at the main screen. This is great when you are outwith your provider's network coverage and knowing when it comes back in. Good one!

Hi Jackie and all, In response to our whining *smile* Malcolm has kindly sent to me instructions on how to use the Object Viewer to stop Talks reading the network provider's name on the main standby screen as well as the telephone application screen and they work a treat. Mind you I now suppressed the announcement of the provider's name on the telephone application only. I like Talks to read the provider's name on the main standby screen. I find this information useful when roaming to know what network provider I'm connected to at the time. Anyway, please find below Malcolm's instructions and see what configuration suits you best. Malcolm wrote: "It is possible to configure Talks not to say the name of your provider, the word text and the text status. Firstly at the main standby screen do the following: Enter the Object viewer (Talks and long select). Arrow down until Talks says Title>provider (That will be your provider's name). Press Select. Arrow down to Role. Press Select. From the list of available role types choose ignore. If you exit the Object Viewer you should find that your provider's name is no longer spoken. Enter some digits to bring up the telephone screen. Repeat the steps above to suppress the provider being spoken at the telephone screen. Still at the telephone screen go into the Talks settings screen. Navigate to the Dictionary tab. Create an entry with the word text replaced by an empty screen (enter nothing as the replacement). Ensure that this is applied for the telephone screen only!! Lastly create an application setting for the telephone screen with read text status as no. This should vastly reduce the amount that Talks says when entering numbers at the telephone screen."

Hi Amro Yes, me too, it's done it on all my phones, and I think on anyone else's I've heard when dialling.

I don't think that you can stop your phone from saying this. When I press say number 0 to dial a number my phone says (Vodafone UK window, text, 0). Using App Specific Settings I could only omit the word window from being pronounced. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong though as it annoys me too to have to listen to this superfluous information every time I start dialling a number.

It was a pleasure to help someone who was trying so hard. Now, all we need to do is to answer his query :-) Personally, I have no idea how he might stop his phone from saying the superfluous bits. Would it be verbosity?

Absolutely brilliant and thank you Barry for an excellent translation. The young new member appreciates it I have no doubt from his or her reply. It was indeed obvious that English was not a first language but it is great to have someone like yourself on the list who has interpreted and a very valuable contribution from the new member. I an ashamed to admit it myself but I had failed to translate also. Well done. Eleanor -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Re: hello all! From: "Barry Hill" <bbinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 21/07/2010 10:33 am I think it was pretty good to say that English is obviously not Bardia's first language. I'll translate: hello all It is the summer!!!!! So, why do you send mail to the list !? it is hot now! and wy are you sitting at the pc every day ? Also, i have a question that I would like anserd.! Is that ok? wen i hit a number my phone says 3 window, text and i dont want my phone to say this.
