RE: 8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hello All, 

Thanks for all of the responses. I have completed the changes and have
tested the BrailleNote apex out with the MBA. Now, the trick is to learn
some of the commands that are unique to the MBA. I have gone to Humanware's
support page and read the command list for the Macs. There was one that
didn't make sense and that was to pan to the right, which used the same
command for panning to the left. I need to dedicate more time in using the
Apex with the computer, which may not be until the weekend. 

Thanks again for the assistance. 

Eileen

Hi all!
Just a quickie!
After pressing VO+f8 each item in the table has a Command key+number so
Braille would be Command+9 and will take you straight there! Command+8 for
commanders and so on!

Re: 8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello Eileens

In VoiceOver Utility, (VoiceOver+F8), scroll down to the Braille category and 
look under the Layout tab. There you will see q checkboxes; Use Contracted 
Braille, and Use 8-Dot Braille. Modify their status to suit your needs. You 
might also want to turn off the status cells. Gordon has the Apex and these 
cells just wasted space for him.

Warm regards
Lynne

Re: 8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air

[Cait and Maggie]

YOu might look in vo utility under the braille settings while the display is 
attached to your mac air.
You can also toggle between 8 and 6 dot mode, at least you can on my braille 
sense, on the note taker itself.  Not sure where that setting is on the apex, 
though, as I don't own one of those.
huh anyway,
Cait

re: 8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air

[Gordon Smith]

HI
 This is a very simple one.  Go into RoiceOver utility and 
scroll down to Braille in the categories group.  If you tab from 
there, you'll find a setting to use contracted Braille, and 
another to use 8 dot Braille.  Check the ones you want and remove 
those you don't.


 Kind regards
 Gordon

8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air

[Eileens Misrahi]

Hello All,

Thanks for the welcome letter Gordon. Last night, I was able to pair my Braille 
Note with the MacBook Air. However I noticed the braille display using 8 cell 
braille with the computer. Is there a setting on the Air in system preferences 
that will only display a 6 dot cell configuration? I am not use to 8 dot 
braille and I am having problems reading the braille. I need to fix this first 
before learning all of the braille commands that are applicable to the MacBook 
Air. 

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction to correct this.

Best,
Eileen
