Interesting, We had a link about the braille input only yesterday, and I kept it as text.
This feature of being able to explore wasn't mentioned. How do you then get out of explore mode? Thanks, RobH. Ps: I'll add it to the end of the text I kept. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <mehg...@icloud.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, September 26, 2014 1:58 AM Subject: Re: Problems using onscreen Braille keyboard The gesture for explore mode is not a double tap and hold, you simply place a finger on the screen and leave it there until VO says "now in explore mode". That might be part of the confusion. On Sep 25, 2014, at 8:55 PM, Cheryl Lenartiene <cheryl.lenarti...@gmail.com> wrote: > When I can get it to work, what I entered does make sense.
