Hello, I believe I asked a question about panning with my BrailleNote and my Mac Air a while back, but it has led to other things. I have reviewed the voiceover commands for braille, have looked at all the keystrokes for the BrailleNote and voiceover,, but I haven't been able to figure this out. I was in a basic TextEdit and iTextExpress document and I couldn't use any of my thumb keys to pan to the next line. Again, I ask are there any tricks to the trade with This? Right now, I am only using the BrailleNote with my iPhone4, with iOS 7.0.6. I am able to navigate more effectively on that device than on my Mac Air. Any suggestions would be terrific to use it with my Mac.

You do not want speech on when using braille? I have not used my braille display that much yet with the Mac or iPhone but when I do, speech is on but if I don't want to hear it I can just mute it.

This however has been fixed in iOS 7. What happened is you start typing a word such as black. If you're a quick typist then you won't see this problem. But if you are a slow one then you may end up with the letters b l a c just fine but after entering the k and the space the k would translate to knowledge. Someone can correct me on this though because I don't use Braille on iOS or OS X yet. I'm not aware of any issues pertaining to Braille under OS X. >>>> >>>> Christopher Hallsworth >>>> Student at the Hadley School for the Blind www.hadley.edu >>>> >>>> On 29/06/2014 02:29, Robert C wrote: >>>>> Sabahattin, >>>>> I wanted to come back to this and ask you, in what ways you >>>>> feel that braille support in OS X (and iOS too?) is substandard. >>>>> When I begin to use my Mac full time, I will connect my braille >>>>> display most of the time.
