Hi All, It was interesting for me after reading Jackie's email to play around further with predictive texting today! An interesting thing I found too was when you predictive text a word and hit star as was outlined to amend a word, by hitting star again as needs be it gives you (if any) a multiple choice of words from which to choose the appropriate one! Should you for any reason go off highlight when after writing a word just cursor back and try hitting star again. What would happen should the word not be highlighted when you hit star you just will be brought in to 'symbols which you key 2 out of! Does anyone know a way for a screen reader user to know for sure when gone from a word and have to back track to it when the word is highlighted without having to do what I suggested? Any more on this or any possible corrections on what I wrote get in touch! Just know it worked for me!

Bert ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony Sweeney To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 5:57 PM Subject: [vip_students] Mobile Phone Dictionary Hi All, I'm a bit baffled! I am wondering about the dictionary in 'writing messages. Now when I activate the dictionary option by pressing the hash key twice I proceed to write but it is resulting in "jibberish" not the letters I'm writing at all! Could someone explain please about the dictionary and how to successfully manage it? Now I am fairly sure that it has nothing to do with 'predictive text as that feature is in settings. I am currently using the E65!
