Hi Tom, Congratulations on your hnew QT! You can't make the changes you want to the Braille display. The cursor router buttons do work very well, though, even in large documents. They route instantly no matter how far you've gone from their original point. As for the routing to the first letter of a word, Braille displays all work that way when the current word must be expanded. It works that way on a computer with a screen reader as well. It's necessary to do that because the word must first expand into computer Braille before the machine can be certain exactly where you want the cursor. They haven't taught these things to read our minds just yet (smile). I don't remember the answer to your last question.

Well, I have been working with my new qwerty-style Braille Note Apex QT32, and I can tell you that it seems to be working much better for me than the BT32 did. I simply seem to feel more comfortable with the qwerty keyboard arrangement. Anyway, I'm trying to master the ins and outs of Word Processing on the QT32, and have several questions. I hope I verbalize them clearly. If not, please let me know, and I'll give it another try. Here are my questions: 1. How can I configure the QT32 Braille display main cursor to follow along when I am editing a dopcument, rather than being stationary at the point where I initially started reading the document with the thumb keys? In other words, when I'm editing, I want my Braille display cursor to move along as the speech cursor does, so that it is where I am in the document at all times. Of course, I can bring the Braille Display cursor to where I am via the cursor routing buttons, but that isn't always efficient when editing a long document, and when trying to quickly make a lot of needed changes. 2. How can I configure the cursor router buttons to immediately move to the exact character I want to work with, rather than going to the first letter in the entire word initially? In other words, I find that I have to hit the cursor router button twice, before it ends up exactly where I want it for editing purposes, and I'd like to avoid that if possible. 3. How can I configure the Braille Apex voice to have a considerably higher pitch, when I capitalize a letter? Right now, there is not much of a difference in pitch between capitalized and noncapitalized letters, and I'd like to change that if possible. Again, I hope these questions are clearly verbalized. If not, please let me know. Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
