Dear Gordon,
I expect you will have tried this and possibly use it on other devices but in case not, hold down lowest dot on left hand side and at the same time press dot 4. This works for me but I appreciate it may not necessarily work for yourself. Best wishes, Roger.

This kind of computer Braille is not the same as other devices use, so it’s kind of thrown me a bit. ================================================= My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..

For example, 1 is Lower A (dot 2), 2 is lower B (dots 2-3) 3 is lower C (dots 2-5) all the way up to 9 which is lower I (dots 2-4(. For a zero, you press lower J (dots 2-4-5). If it’s UEB You are using, can’t you use the number sign to indicate digits.

If so, hold down the key which would generate the lowest dot on the left hand side of the cell and at the same time press the dots for the braille letter you wish to make upper-case.

Technology Enthusiasm! < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> Subject: [Techno-Chat]: Strange Question Regarding Braille Input Hello everybody I’ve stumbled upon an issue. To which I just cannot find the answer. I’ve banged my head against so many walls that bits are starting to fall off it! So now, I have to bug the group. My password to log into Windows and my Microsoft account uses upper case characters, lower case characters and digits. Using a Braille display’s Perkins-style keyboard, how does one go about entering this combination of characters at the Windows password prompt? I have tried using computer Braille, no go. I’ve tried to use the usual U+Chord command to indicate that I’m about to enter an upper case character. No go. I obviously can’t use either literary grade 1/2 at this juncture, because in UEB and the old-style British Braille, the dots 3, 4, 5 and 6 keystroke produces different symbols. Any suggestions very much appreciated. ================================================= My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..
