Hi Eleanor,
Thanks so much for both this email and the text.
I do sometimes log on over the weekend but try to get away from my PC
and
work during the Weekend.
Thanks for all your help and assistance here.
I have done all you've suggested and it works.
I will get a new battery for my N86 but feel that if I now concentrate
on
my
E6 as my first phone my texting will become much quicker and the phone
does
have a lot of advantages over the N86.
Thanks again.
Maurice.

Subject: Re: [Talks] Various E6 questions.
Well, my E6 is working Brilliantly.
My N86 actually broke down due to battery dying so I "had" to use the
E6
as my number 1 phone. I guess that's the best way.
Answer
I disagree with you Morris. Purchase a new battery for your N8.

1. I have put some shortcuts on my home screen - Sound Recorder,
Camera, Messaging and BBC website.
Now when I Run my finger over the screen all the icons say when I come
to
them are "Icon" "Icon".
Is there a way of labelling them so they actually say what they are?
Answer
The object viewer. First when you decide you want to label icons you'll
probably want to turn on the graphics identifier first so you know what
icon
to look for in the object viewer. To turn on graphics do talks lonf
press
of
the number 4. Then as you touch the screen or arrow over icons if they
aren't labeled with a name it will read the icon number which is
composed
of
numbers and letters. There are 8 characters in an icon number.
Get to the object viewer by doing talks key followed by long pressing
the
center select button. It pops up with the screen that has both labeled
and
unlabeled icons on it. Arrow down through the list till you find the
icon
number of the one you want to label. press select on it. it brings up
another little screen with text if there's text there and give the
location
on the screen and says role which is where you'd select if you want to
try
and change the role an object has. If not just keep arrowing down.
You'll
get to the icon again. press select and it takes you to the user
dictionary.
The icon number is in the existing field. Arrow down one and you get to
the
replacement field. Type in what you want the icon to say. Then arrow
down
and exit if you want the label to be global or arrow to the right if you
want it to be labeled in that program only.
I think you only want it to be in that programme so you will want home
screen and not global,. Then touch soft key one and save it. When
you've
labeled what you want then touch the left soft key and it will return
you
to
the home screen.YOu turn off the graphics viewer by pressing talks long
umber 4 again.
2. I would like to make either Key 2 or the "Email" part of the key a
shortcut to messaging. I have looked at the Shortcut keys but can't
work
out how to do this. Can anyone explain for me please.
Answer
On the long keys on either side of the arrow keys there are two buttons
top
and bottom next to the left and right arrow key.
On the left the top is menu. You can't change this one. It is a waste
since
soft key two takes you to the menu as well. under menu is the calendar
one-touch key. you can have two shortcuts. A short press and long
press.
to
the right of the right arrow there are two one-touch keys up an lower.
Upper
is the contact key under it is email or messaging key. These can each
have
two shortcuts assigned- short press and long press. You find them under
tools settings, phone, one-touch keys.
Settings 9 of 12.
Phone 3 of 7
one touch keys which is 9 of 11.
Now you are put in a list where there are just 3 items, namely, calandar
key, contacts key and messaging key.
Select messaging key as that is the one you asked about.
You now have another screen. The first option is short press messaging.
If
you want to alter this and have something else there in the short press
instead of messaging then select on this. You will now be in a long
list
and you can choose from this. On my phone I have then 60 options to
choose
from. It is possible to arrow down through all these 60 options.
Make your selection and exit by pressing soft key 2 on the screen,
bottom
right *smile*. Re[eat this for the long press of the messaging key.
You can add other shortcuts to the home screen by editing the home
screen
under the wigit catelogue.
3. When writing a text, how can I get the symbols up especially
apostrophe and Quotes.
Answer
A single quote is the Function Key, bottom right followed by the letter
l.
Talks does not say single quote but if you write it and backspace Talks
will
say quote.
To bring up a list of punctuation and symbols you have to press the Cha
key.
This key is obtained by pressing the Talks key twice. In Talks Training
Mode when you first press this key directly to the left of the spacebar
Talks announces Talks and then if you press it again in Training Mode
Talks
says Cha. Now out of training Mode, when you hit this key twice, the
2nd
time you hit it, it will not say Ch but it will bring up the symbols.
Arrow
right across the top row and then arrow down to the next row etc. When
you
come across the symbol you want then select it using the select key. If
you
press soft key 2 on the screen you then get a list of emoticons but
Talks
does not recognise these so do not bother with them but do not be like
me
and press soft key 2 on the screen to exit the characters screen as this
is
not the way out. The only Exit I have found is on selecting the
character
using the select that lies in the centre of all the arrow keys. If I
have
made a mistake or do not want a particular key, I still select and get
back
out and then use the backspace to remove it. Someone else can chip in
on
this one.
:4. Is it p possible without sight to move items up the menu.
Answer
I do not think so, Actually I have some useful vision and have tried
movjing
them but with no success. I had an N97 Mini and this was possible
before.
Think you had the N97 for a short time and ditto. Again if someone can
chip
in here that would be great.
Eleanor
