Hi Alan, Yes I've found Organise and wondered why I couldn't get it to do that much. That's extremely helpful Thanks.

Hi Alan, Firstly, Thank you so much for your responses and helpful advice. What I meant was this. On my Nokia N86, if I go to the main menu and then say to "Contacts", when I go into options, one of the options is to move contacts either up the menu or save it in another folder. Now on my N8, I can get an option to save to another folder but I cannot find an option to say move Contacts or messages up the list so that when I press the menu button it becomes the first entry. Does this make any sense? Thanks again. Maurice. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Allan Sent: 26 April 2011 15:09 To: Talks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Talks] Nokia N8 touch screen - sending andreceivingtextmessages. > 1. you said in your email that I could activate a shortcut bar widget on the homescreen and the widget can holds 4 shortcuts, you > can have one of these shortcut for contacts. i Can you explain how I do this or would I need sighted assistance? for a start, i think you will need a sighted that capable to help you. he or she must understand on how to edit/remove/modify the N8 homescreen. if i'm not wrong, by default there's already a shortcut widget on the homescreen, but talks does not recognize those icon and when you slide your finger on it, talks will only read icon icon icon. as you may know or may not know, n8's hoamescreen have 3 pages in it, but unfortunately for us, only the first page is useable. talks will not read anything at the 2nd and the 3rd page. so remove the 2nd and the 3rd page is better for us. > 2.

I could always go to contacts that > way. there's 2 method to reach to the contacts book in N8. first way is somewhat the same as what you are doing, but you are missing something. when you press "call key2", you will be present with the numbering pad for you to call someone with the phone number. before you dial any number, there's another 3 extra buttons located at the right side of the numbering pad is "clear", next to number3, "dials number" next to number6 and 9, and lastly "contacts" next to the # button. so you should tab to the contacts button to bring up the contacts book. the second method is, you activate a shortcut bar widget on the homescreen and the widget can holds 4 shortcuts, you can have one of these shortcut for contacts. i see this way is much easier. > 2. Contacts, Now, is there a quick way of navigating through contacts. Say, pressing G to find Guy. I have used the scrolling > down feature which is fine but takes longer and also the navigation keys which work fine but again I need to scroll through all > contacts. i remember that i told you once in a private email that when you at the contacts book, slide your finger towards the bottom of the screen and you will hear talks say "text", just tab once at this area and a alpha keyboard will pop-up. the keyboard will have 5 letters in a row, so tab to the letter you want and it will filter your contacts book. > 3. When I get a new message, I can press on the screen and here what it says, however, how could I hear the message read say > word f by word or sentence by sentence. set the talks cursor mode to words and when the message is open, longpress the uparrow then you can navigate word by word with the downarrow. > 4. Sending a text, When I'm typing into a text field, how do I navigate back through the text to make spelling changes ETC. slide towards the bottom of the screen, there's 5 button in a row: close: to close the virtual keyboard. left: to move the cursor to the left. edit menu: to change various options for the keyboard and etc. right: to move the cursor to the right. clear: to perform a backspace and delete. so to move back, just tab on the left arrow. > And 5. Can anyone tell me the best way to reply to a message. when the message is open, slide your finger towards the bottom of the screen, there's buttons like: key1 for options; on the bottom left corner. key2 for back; at the bottom right corner. key3 for reply; above to key1. key4 for forward; at the center between key3 and key5. key5 for delete; above to key2. so just tab on the key3 to reply. > I'm trying to write a text, however, as I understood it, if you put your finger on the phone and run it around the various > numbers/buttons nothing will appear on the screen until you actually release your finger and touch the relevant button a gain. > What I'm finding is that, whilst running my finger around the numbers/icons without pressing them, still they are coming out as > well as the letters I'm pressing. the reason is, your finger did not touch the screen firmely and maybe bouncing, therefore the letter was typed. try to slide your finger smoothly and when only you need the letter/icon, leave up your finger and tab anywhere on the screen within 1.5 second. > Thanks for all this and sorry for all the questions. hope this helps. -- Allan (WKF) "Life is impermanent, happiness is not a necessity, a person must cherish the people around them." _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list Talks@talksusers.com http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/ ________________________________ No virus found in this message.
