Chkristine. I just gfigured out how to interact with messages with your braille display. I thought it would work, and it did. Try pressing space bar with dots 2-3-6. I tested the other day to uninteract. That command is space bar and the dots 3-5-6. In other words, spacebar with the question mark to do it, and space bar with the low j to undo it.
If you want to turn your speech off, do space bar and the letter m together. By the way, screen curtain is space bar and the for sign together. The muting command is same one if you want your speech back. Regards, Gigi On Jan 4, 2013, at 5:06 PM, Kristeen Hughes <khwi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks to you all.
