HiAlex, 

 

You are correct that space-G will toggle between contracted and uncontracted
braille in VO. When I poked around in the VO utility-braille and clicked on
"assigned keystrokes," I was only given a short countdown to input the new
keystroke to change the setting. Do I need to tab to a table for the list of
assigned keystrokes in VO for braille? This is all new to me, as I begin
increasing my skills and venturing out from the basics. 

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance. 

 

Best, 

Eileen

All commands are in VO Utility > braille > Assign Commands. There, as the
name suggests, you can change any commands you don't like in addition to
reviewing what is already there.

 

As to your braille grade, there is no relation between it and the Apex's
settings. The Mac is driving everything, so simply be sure to enable or
disable contracted braille in VO's braille settings. There should also be a
command to do this, and space-g is coming to mind, but I might be thinking
of iOS.

Hi Jason, 

Earlier today, I reviewed the support documents from Humanware for the Apex
using it as a braille display with VO, the "getting Started With VO"
document in the Vo help menu and the VO command help table for braille
commands. There wasn't much in the latter. I did put on keyboard help and
noticed a number of keystrokes with the Apex that weren't assigned. I'm
assuming that I can use these in assigning a keystroke with VO. The problem
still exists with the inability to pan from line to line and seeing the text
on the Apex's braille display in uncontracted braille. I also made sure that
the Apex contracted braille was turned on and it was. This is very funky.
The experience with my iPhone4 is quite different, with other items to get
use to. Any further suggestions on how to problem solve this would be great.


Thanks to all that have responded. 

Eileen

Also, I have reviewed some of the braille keystrokes recently, but I 
was having difficulty panning to the next line. If someone can point 
me in the right direction that would be fantastic.


I just started exploring this today. My display doesn't have a braille
keyboard for input, so the keys will be different. However, if you invoke
VoiceOver keyboard help with control-option-k, you should then be able to
press keys, or combinations of keys, on the braille display to find out what
commands have been assigned to them. The VoiceOver documentation also lists
braille display commands, most involving entering braille characters in
combination with the space bar, i.e., as chords, as they used to be called.

Special keys, buttons etc., on your display should also be associated with
commands. If not, you can use the VoiceOver utility to assign commands to
keys as you wish.

I hope this helps.
