Caitlin, my sister has an mPower. She used to use the classic,
and never had those dot 4's. Now, on her mPower, she has them
all the time. I don't think it's in how you're writing.

Subject: [Braillenote] Dot 4 Showing Up A Lot in KS 6?
Hi All,
I've noticed that, since I got KeySoft 6 on my BrailleNote BT
Classic, a
lot of dot 4's have been showing up when i type. I know it's not
because of
how I'm typing because this never happened with the other
versions of KS I
ran previously. My friend who has the same BrailleNote as I do
has the same
problem. He explained to me that how a keyboard basically works
is--and I'm
probably getting this mixed up because I'm really not a
techy--that it has
circuitry or microchips or something, and when you pres a button,
the
circuit opens and closes briefly to process the keystroke. I
said that it
sounded like a hardware problem, then, and why would KS6 have
anything to do
with it, but he said something about how KS6's firmware may have
changed and
made the circuitry more sensitive or something. But anyway, i
was wondering
if any of you have noticed this same thing.
Another thing I find with KS6 is that, when reading for long
periods
with speech, the BN sometimes doubles back, and mingles up text
it read four
or five sentences before with the current text. This can go on
for a minute,
less than a minute, for a few minutes or indefinitely. When I
stop reading
and start again, it's fine, and the text appears fine with the
display. My
friend has also had this same problem. Have any of you noticed
this?
Sorry if these things have already been discussed, but I'm
curious as to
whether any others of you have noticed these occurrences. It's
not really
that big a deal *find and replace has become a good friend of
mine in
regards to the dot 4's), but I was just wondering about it.
Thanks,
Caitlin
