I tried screen away mode because that was what the podcaster was doing, but I, like you, Cheryl, prefer tabletop mode, now that I have it working. I never was good at using a slate and stylus, so Perkins is the way to go for me.

I happen to be better at tabletop because it gives my fingers the feeling that they are typing on a Perkins brailler or my Braille Edge. But it's nice that there is more than one way to do it. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

To me, the difference between this method and a Perkins is like the difference between Braille on displays and on paper. They're different, but similar enough.

As you said, though, it is often easier to be able to type out something in braille than hook up a notetaker or display, and it certainly makes entering my passcode easy. If possible, give it a try, long enough to really test it out and get accustomed to how it works. It might not be for you, but the convenience is definitely worth at least giving it a shot to see for sure.

It takes me back to the days when I used a slate and stylus and when you were writing, dots one, two, and three were on the right side. Of course, note takers and braille displays reversed this, but I find it interesting that you have both on the device.

When you land in an edit field turn your rotor once to the right. The Braille keyboard is usually there because the Braille setting on your rotor follows the edit field around. 2. I find it useful to use away mode. For some reason, when in table mode, dots 1, 2, 3 appear on the right so everything is backwards. 3. Once in a way mode, Do not calibrate just write. Unfortunately, when trying to use contracted Braille the app does not echo characters. I like to have characters echoed at this point so I write in unconstructed Braille. 4. Flick once left to erase a character and once right for space. 5. 6. When done rotor once left or right, then you can use VO gestures again.
