Hi have this program and it is double saying things like in password feilds when I only hit one letter it will double say star and when I am in a conversation text is will double say conversation with. Is there a way to get it to stop double saying things?

I've never had the problem, so i'm not sure how to fix it. But a suggestion would be to go into your Mobile Speak Smartphone control panel and check your Text Input settings. It might have something to do with Keyboard Echo.

Yeah, it sounds like key echo is on. I turn mine off completely. Also check the prefictive text too, and unless you want it to suggest words, turn that off. I've seen it cause some strange things too.

I went to the start button and went into mobile speaks control panel and don;t see any options for text input at all.

Once you're in the Mobile Speak control panel, you have to click on modes, then the mode that you're using. Mobile Speak will say current after the mode you're using. Click on your particular mode, and option 3 will be Text Input.

Right now typing echo is set to All what should it be set on? Word, Character, or none.

It depends on what you prefer. Mine is set to none because I'm familiar with the keyboard, and I don't make that many mistakes. If you set it to character, it'll repeat every character you type; word will obviously repeat every word. None will repeat nothing, and so if you want to check what you've typed, you have to arrow through it.

Hello now I have a question. Whenn I go to open a new website, is there a way to quickly get that home page url out of there?

You mean to change the page that loads when you open IE from your phone?
As far as I know, there isn't a way to change this. Or if there is, I haven't found it yet. I think there's a way to change the homepage from Opra, but that won't do us any good since Opra doesn't work with Mobile Speak.

No. Lets say your home page is google.com. So I open IE and then want to go somewhere else to another site when I open the address bar google.com is there and I want a quick way of removing that so I can enter my new address.

I don't think there's a quick way of doing it; the only way I know of is deleting what's in the address bar and typing over it. I've saved some sites to my favorites so I can get to them without having to do all the backspacing and typing.
