Cheryl, You are correcT. When I go intoBraille Touch, and begin to type, the letters are read back to me very delayed. Caleb told me to turn Vo ofF and back on just as I must do in Fleksy. Hoping one of these developers will come up with a fix as it is a workaround but would be better if not necessary. I still wonder if it has something to do with upgrading over the air.
