Hi all, I have had in my possession for the past few days, a Q braille display from Hims. This is the one that has the braille key entry but also has the usual complement of arrows and control et Cetera keys like a regular keyboard would have. The idea is supposed to be that you can operate this device in hybrid mode, making a connection for the display and another one for the keyboard, so that you don’t have the learning curve that is associated with using braille display and a phone or PC or Mac. Unfortunately, and this is not stated anywhere in the manual, the VO keys have not been fully implemented. So hybrid mode on the phone is a waste of time at this point. I’m not sure about the Mac, since I did not try it there. It’s a very nice device. But it’s not ready for prime time if you think you’re going to be able to use it with a phone in hybrid mode. The big problem is that in order to use VO keys effectively, you either need to be in quick nav mode, or you need to have a whole lot of fingers, since you need to do the vo keys plus letters. So the absence of quick nav mode is a real problem. A few VO things do work, such as vo plus a to read from cursor to bottom of document, or vo plus Que to go into keyboard help.
