Hi there Yes, and I have just had a struggle to get my Braille Edge 40 back onto my Mac. Since Yosemite, much to my disappointment, won't let me have more than one display, I have decided to take the Focus 14 off the Mac and put it on the iPhone instead. In my case, when I am doing proofreading

It shouldn’t be really. One of the biggest struggles like stated before is getting it paired. Some pair and others do not. > On Oct 28, 2014, at 10:41 AM, Joe Quinn wrote: > > didn't relize that using the focus on the mac was so time consuming > wow. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On O

Hello there There is a way to assign keys, but I'm not sure that one is going to work. There is a table on there of ones that are already assigned. You have to go into the voiceover utilities, go to broil, and then go to the assigned keys. Gigi Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 28, 2014, at 9:00 AM
