Hello, Caitlin and list,
You're not alone! My husband's BrailleNote running Keysoft 6.11 has the
very same problem. We assumed that his keyboard was worn out, and I'm not
convinced this isn't the case, but it sure is strange that others are having
this problem, too. My husband will definitely be interested in seeing this
message.

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
