Oh, you got it upside down. I know there's a setting in advanced to turn it the other way up. If you want to do it that way, it'll work ok if you find and change that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenifer Barr" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 10:21 AM Subject: Re: I Have Already Upgraded Braille Touch
Hi all. I got BrailleTouch, but I have to say, I'm not impressed. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but when I try to press and A, it presses a comma, or B, it posts asemicolon. It's like, everything is lowered. And so on. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but this doesn't seem quite as impressive as I thought it would. I'm sorry But, that's just my opinion. Hopefully someone can set me straight. Jenifer Barr Sent from my iPhone On Jan 31, 2013, at 3:59 AM, "Arnold Schmidt" <[email protected]> wrote: > I am very impressed.
