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.
Karen

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
