The loudspeaker and ear speaker button on-screen will be hit and miss until
you get used to it. a sighted person or even one like myself with a little
vision can directly hit the button. However, Denise and Allan may have
additional support for you there. As for volume, 10 is the maximum and yes
the volume is not great in loud environmental noise. However, when on a
call and if not using the external speaker have you tried increasing the
volume using the volume up key on the side? Finally you want to know a
little more about the keys on the bottom row. On the extreme left on the
bottom row is the function key which when hit once will give you a number
when in a text message or e-mail. If you want a string of numbers as in a
telephone number, then you can hit the key twice write your number string
and then hit twice again to return to text. Next to the Function key and
one in on the right is the Edit key. This key is the Caps and caps lock
key. Hit it once for an initial capital letter and again hit twice if you
want caps lock. To remove the caps lock hit it twice. Next in we have the
Talks key and as I said pressing it twice will bring up the symbols keys for
you, in other words the characters. Once the symbols have been brought up
you can press the soft key 2 on screen and this will bring up emoticons.
Unfortunately these are not recognised by Talks so unless you want to use
these forget about them as you cannot use the Talks object viewer to label
them either. A sighted person can assist you with them however but if
someone responds with a similar emoticon, Talks will not recognise it. Now
we move over to the right of the space-bar. The first key is the @ sign
useful when writing an e-mail address and not having to go in to the symbols
window to select the @ sign. Next we have the ? mark and finally there is a
silent key. I do not know what it does - sorry!!! The @ key when used in
conjunction with the Edit key will produce a forward / and the ? mark key
when used with the Edit key will give you an ! mark. Do remember that you
can find out all about keys by using the Talks Training Mode which is Talks
key and Zero. This is a toggle key.
Just an after-thought, if external speaker is important to you then you
might give some thought to a very small external speaker which you could
plug in to the headphone socket.

Subject: [Talks] E6 and talks related questions.
Hi All.
Firstly apologies Eleanor for not responding to the N86 questions. I was
out of the office and found that they had already been answered by the
time
I'd got back online.
I have 2 small questions.
1. Now I know you said that the Loud Speaker button is
above key 2 and I do get it successfully occasionally but it's very much
trial and error. Can you give me anymore guidance as how to do this more
successfully and is there a way of then returning to just using the
earpiece
(So To Speak".
2. Can anyone tell me what the keys that say Edit, CTRL, Tilder,
Function and the key next to the spacebar on the righthand side that says
nothing do.
3. One disadvantage I find with the E6 which I didn't have
with my N86 is the amount of volume I can get out of Talks. When I'm in a
crowded place, I have to have the Talks volume on 8 or even 9 as the
speaker is on the back and there is only one. My N86 however was loud
enough for me on volume 5 or occasionally 6 - however it does have 2
speakers and they are on the side.
So, my question is, is there a way of increasing the talks volume
from
what it is set to. In other words, is Volume 10 the loudest or can this
be
increased anymore.
Thanks.
Maurice Press.
