I totally agree, and yes, I have calibrated the dots. It doesn't seem to help in the least. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016. Training Instructor. i...@gillandmarketing.com Phone: (704) 256-8010. - Original Message - From: "Donna Goodin" To:

You may have to fiddle with the orientation. There’s a good guide on Applevis about it, but put your phone in landscape, flat, then put the phone so that it’s on one side, and see if it says “home button to the right” or however you have it. If not, turn it to the other side. When it has the

I think the thing where you don't get character feed back has changed. At least, I got it when I was messing around with it. Cheers, Donna > On Sep 17, 2016, at 10:31 AM, Blee Blat wrote: > > Well, the whole thing feels a little weird actually since you don't know > when

Well, the whole thing feels a little weird actually since you don't know when you have brailled an actual character as it were. It's probably something that we're not getting that is fairly simple since coordination and hand strength isn't an issue here. It'd be neat to make it work though,

Well, my second attempt was a little better, but it's still slow. I now understand why some people want to reverse the dots, it feels like all the letters are backwards, even though you're using the same fingers you would use on a keyboard. For me that's kind of disorienting. Cheers, Donna >

I use my Focus 14 if I want to type something long or dictation if I’m in a private place. But if anyone has a method of doing braille please share with us as I can’t do it. If I try and do dots 1 and 3 to do C it comes out as colon and if I try and find an I as I make the shape of an I in
