Hi Paul. Oh yes, I've had this issue, and it's a major one for me. In fact, I'm in the process of writing an article about this. I suspect, but can't confirm, that this feature was designed to allow a person to immediately see what they have typed, before it goes to the translator. Which is fine, I guess, if you're not confident in your braille typing, but it would be nice if this feature could be turned off so that it would go back to the old way of braille keyboard input.
