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 configurati

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

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. h
