Hi, There is a setting in JAWS 12 and later to set braille input to contracted input. And yes, you can write in contracted braille in iOS, although you need to type fast, as VO thinks that pauses mean you've finished typing. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph, How do you write in contracted Braille when using the Apex as a Braille display with JAWS? Can this also be done when you are using the Apex as a Braille display for an iOS device?

Hi, Yes of course - and you can type in contracted braille too with JAWS. The thing is: you need to be in braille terminal with JAWS using the Apex as a braille display in order to do this.

Will an Apex with a Braille keyboard function as a keyboard for entry on a PC? I know it works as a Braille display, but I hope to learn whether one can type on the Apex connected to a PC using Jaws. The Apex would replace the standard Qwerty PC keyboard if this can work. This would be for a Windows 7 PC with the latest edition of Jaws 13 and the most recent firmware on the Apex BT.
