Hello, Jonathan and all. I would respectfully agree with Jonathan. I would love a setting to allow entry using the screen divided into six rectangles horizontally across the screen, as it is on the Perkins and, for example, also on the refreshabraille. Remember that the virtual keys are long, so there doesn't need to be any hand twisting for the fingers to land on the right spots as there would be with button keys. I would be more than happy to trade the ability to type without a flat surface for the ability to type on such a six horizontal dot keyboard. I would be even more pleased if this were a setting which could be changed. Aman
