Hi Colin: That smiley came with Alex, and Silly as it sounds, it endeared me to him. It's the only one I easily remember, and I know I overuse it.:) Can't help myself. Carolyn H On Feb 12, 2011, at 3:49 PM, Colin M wrote: > Hi There! > On some of the facebook versions there is a - between the :

Hi Carolyn, Wes, Brett, and Others, I suspect the reason that you can't set up the VO pronunciation editor to speak emoticons for ":D" (colon d form big smile) and "<3" (less 3) is that you could get potential confusion in situations where you are normally typing with colons or in mathematical

No, I was able to read each character, and I entered it right. There is no other :D symbol or anything. The only thing I can think of, is that it's some sort of weird bug. I can't do <3 for love or heart either. I emailed the Apple people, told them my situation, asked them what was going on

I have been attempting to create a labeled pronunciation for :D for over a year, with no luck. No matter how many times I try, VoiceOver just says D. Like you, I can create labeled pronunciations for most everything else. I'd like to hear from you if you find a solution. Brett C. On F

Hi, I've been trying to add some emoticons in the VO pronunciation dictionary. But it's not working. For example, I do :D (Collin D), for a laughing face. I put :D in the first box, then "laughingface", in the second. And all Apps is checked. I even hit enter. Is there something I'm missin
