I find that when pressing space g for continuous reading, if I silence
the speech with backspace and enter, the braille display automatically
jumps to that point where the speech stops. Any other speech reading
command also advances the speech to that exact spot.
If you want to bring the cursor to a location visible on the braille
display, use one of the cursor routing buttons that are above each cell.
The reason the two don't necessarily move together is so that you can
examine text elsewhere without necessarily losing your place. Think of
it like looking around without having to lose your place. Let's say you
had your cursor somewhere and you neede to refer back or forward to
something else. You can move forward or backward with the braille, and
then when you want to resume your original space, press the current word
or sentence commands with space and dots 2-3 or space with dots 1-4
respectively.
Yes, you might sometimes have to kind of get them together, but the idea
that you can look at something else without actually losing your place
is great. Especially if you were in the middle of some editing and you
needed to quickly resume where you were.
Hope that explains it a bit.

I discovered that the speach and braille do not keep up with each
other. I
changed from speach to braille and shortly back to speach. I found I
had
lost my place. You would think they would keep up with each other so
you
could altrinate like in a case when your fingers got tired.
The braille keeps up with the speach, but the speach will not keep up
with
the braille. Strange! Any explinations.

I put mine to 1 as well. I'm not sure how much difference there is,
but
that's where it is. But I get a sore finger from reading too much
paper
braille, too, so I just figure it's like sighted folks getting sore
eyes
from reading too much.

Hi Pam,
Go into the braille display menu by typing spacebar with O, and the
letter B. Space through the options till you find braille intensity?
Currently 5. Type a number from one to nine to change this option.
I'd suggest you try one and see how you like it. I didn't notice
much
difference myself but maybe you'll notice the difference more than I
would. The help mode has good information on this. The default
value
is five. Keep us posted.

Hi,
I think I would tend to agree with the assessment that the braille
display might be a bit too sharp. I have a sore index finger to prove
it. Ah well, maybe it will smooth out over time and I would rather
it
be crisp and sharp like it is instead of too weak.
