The Braille Sense Plus does have times when the braille display stops
scrolling forward on web sites.  A chord+4 to get beyond the stuck point
usually frees it up and you can continue from there.

It locks up very seldom.

Also, I turned off the control information and then began to edit a
document.  I hit chord+z and the prompts just said "yes, no and cancel."
They did not say "yes button" "no button" cancel button."
I have not tested it in too many other places.

I loaded a BookShare DAISY file.  The headings didn't work well in the one I
loaded, but I suspect that was the book not the device.  I will try loading
a newspaper on it tomorrow and let you know how the headings work in that.

Later,
Richard

I heard about that in the options menu, but when the demonstrator set it to
"off", it still said "list item" after the option, which made me think it
would work only on some information, not all.  If you turn this off, for
example, will a yes or no prompt say "yes" or "confirm" only, instead of
"yes button" or whatever it says?

Have a great day,
Alex
