Hi Debbie Turns out you were correct here, although I only just twigged when I saw Roger’s message earlier today. I’m using UEB for input and output, and the thing that through me here Debbie is, when I’m in some applications and using JAWS, dots 4+7 produce the Asterisk symbol. From memory, the Asterisk symbol used to be correct using dots 4+7 before I switched to UEB universally. Be that as it may, the whole computer code seems to have changed somewhere because consistently, across my Braille note takers, the “@“ symbol is entered differently.
Debbie, I believe you own, or have access to, a number of these devices, do you not? If so, try it on the Touch with UEB selected as your default output and let me know what happens, if that isn’t too much to ask? The same is true of the BrailleSense U2 actually, and also the old Apex. ================================================= My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <[email protected]> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..
