While it's probably rather presumptuous for any of us to speak on behalf of everyone, my own opinion is that it probably depends on the environment. For example, when using a desktop or laptop I believe the expectation would be that they all work together and that none of them precludes the use of the others. In other words, connecting a braille device which has a keyboard shouldn't disable the computer's keyboard. >I noticed in IOS ( ipad) when the braille option turned on it is not > providing an option to get touch-screen-keyboard. This is a different issue. My guess is that the very same thing happens if you're using a Bluetooth keyboard with iOS. The issue, in this case, is screen usage. An on-screen keyboard consumes a fair amount of the area of the screen on a small device. These platforms, therefore, tend to be designed so that half (or maybe even more) of the screen isn't hidden by an on-screen keyboard if an external keyboard is connected. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
