Try the hash sign and numbersign? As well as not being able to
'duplicate' your issue, did FS give you the proper procedure for
inputting a number into a password using contracted braille input - on
the Focus 40 Blue? I can understand how a number sign would be
misinterpreted as a ble contraction, but, in a computer logic, I don't
know how you'd tell the machine using contracted braille to make an
exception that does not apply in all circumstances.
You'd need to turn off both contracted braille input and output to get
"computer Braille", via the Settings Center, or braille Options General
Translation.

Hi. I forgot mention that I did an experiment. I used thenumber sign
in the username of a website and t showedup as the ble contraction. I
also just discovered then when I unplug the USB cord it doesn't switch
right back to the bluetooth connection. I'm not sure if I just have
silly computer issues or what. Thanks for your help I appreciate it.

I don't think uninstalling and reinstalling would change that. perhaps
you could contact FS about the problem and let's see how they solve
it.
My initial thought was that the # sign was being seen as braille
'ble'.
It shouldn't have something to do with it, but did you merge JAWS12
with
a previous JAWS? then, you just might need to uninstall and reinstall
JAWS if that's the problem. My brailleNote doesn't operate the braille
input modes properly, probably because it's a QT model anyway.

Hello and thanks for getting back to me. Admittedly I haven't tried
that new hash sign, but if it thinks the number sign is an extra
character wouldn't it think the same of the other dots? I hope I'm
not installing something wrong, because others who've had focus
displays not the blue, say they can enter numbers just fine. Would I
be better to uninstal the display itself and start over? if so, how
do I go about removing that? I didn't see how in the Braille options.
Thanks for all of your help. One last question, how do I change to
computer Braille for the password then back to contracted for
everything else?

have you tried inputting it [the number] with the new hash sign,
i.e.,
dots 456-1456 then 3456 dot1? You might, however, instead need to
input
the whole password in computer braille.

Hello all. I’ll get right to the point. I have a Focus 40 blue that
I like very much but am having problems using it on a website. The
area I’m having an issue with is when entering numbers for instance
in a password setting. I have it set to contracted imput and output
in the Braille settings of Jaws 12 latest build, and it’s also
crucial to note that I am having this issue whether or noti’m
bluetooth connected, or on USB. When I enter a password, say
gooddog1 the issue is how to get Jaws and the site to recognize that
this is a number. I’ve been told to do everything from try a dropped
number, to using a number sign also I’ve used dot four, or dots four
seven and none of these seem to work. These were all suggestions by
other Braille display users. My system for those who may need to
know: is a dell Studio xps 1340 windows seven sixty four bit home
Premium edition. If you can help I’d appreciate it. I hope this was
clear, if not please mail me off list if you need further
information.
