When I type alt gr + a number it says on the screen for example "Voice type: Robotic Voice" and it does not give me the key I want. How do I disable this so I can type curly brackets and stuff again. Thanks.

When I type alt gr + a number it says on the screen eg "Voice type: Robotic Voice"

This appears to be caused by Clownfish for Skype.

From their FAQ:

Q: My keyboard does not work as expected. Some keys don't work any more ( AltGr+2, '@' sign, etc. ) What should I do?

A: Clownfish can be controlled by hotkeys ( keyboard shortcuts ). In some configurations these hotkeys affect system behavior. To solve the problem you have to change Clownfish's hotkey combination or just disable them( Menu->Preferences->Hotkeys). Sorry about your troubles.

I hate this software! The user interface is so poor and the whole program is all confusing, annoying and extremely provocative inefficient.

Now, also with the at-sign...! Phew!
