I agree,
I, personally have never gotten used to the qwerty on braille devices. But
once upon a time, I plugged a keyboard to the bn bt and certain qwerty
commands became quite interesting to me. Unfortunately, the BrailleNote
understands only the original qwerty layout and not other layouts such as
Dvorak, so I had to stop the keyboard input method.
Good luck.

Yes, it is personal preference and everyone is entitled to his or her
own choice and I'm so glad we have choices! Good luck with the QWERTY
model! Beth

Hello, everyone.
Many people on this list have been extremely patient in answering the
various questions I have posed over the past few weeks, as I have tried to
learn the ins and outs of the Braille Note Apex BT32. As a result, I
think
it is only fair that I let you know of a decision I made today.
Basically, I have decided to make the switch from the BT32 Braille Note
Apex, to the QT32 Apex with the qwerty keyboard. I am still well within
the
30-day free exchange period, so I thought that I'd better make the switch
soon if I'm going to do it.
It's hard for me to explain why I have decided to make the switch, but
I'll
just say it this way. For whatever reason, even though I'm a very
proficient Braille user, the Braille-style keyboard was just too hard for
me
to get used to, and to feel comfortable with. I tried a qwerty keyboard
BN
Apex today, and the keyboard simply felt much more comfortable to me.
It probably will be a few weeks until Humanware processes the change, and
I
get my new qwerty model. So, in the meantime, I'm going to read up on the
documentation I have that will be helpful with the qwerty functions.
If anyone has any helpful hints, command lists, or "how to" guides for the
qwerty Braille Note Apex, please send them my way. I will also check out
the braillenote users web site to see what I can find there.
I am sure at least some folks here will disagree with what I have done,
but
it really does seem like a matter of personal preference to me, more than
anything else.
Thanks for listening, and again, for putting up with all of my questions
of
late.
