Hi, For the speech when moving between items, could you mute VoiceOver while reading to solve this issue by ensuring that keyboard commander is on with VO shift K and pressing right option d? Second, I can duplicate the issue of routing keys not working, both on a BrailleNote Apex BT 32 and a Brailliant BI 32. I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s really annoying. Anyone who can help with this would be awesome.
