Hello:
If you're using the braille keyboard of the braille plus and writing in
computer braille, the shift or capital key is the one that's to the left of the
spacebar. You have to press on it first, and while holding it, type the letter
that you want capitalized.
As to your question regarding the use of computer braille or grade 2 braille
when writing an EMail address, you always want to use computer braille when
writing an EMail address on the to field of a new, forwarded or reply message,
or when adding the address to your address book. Also, since most EMail
programs will sort of create a send mail link when an address is included
within the body of a message, it's most likely better to write the address in
computer braille in those instances too.

Hello,
Recently, I began using the Braille Plus. I am still learning how to do many
things. I was able to update quite easily, and have downloaded a few books from
bookshare. I have a couple of questions. If I want to input something like an
e-mail address, do I need to switch to computer braille as the input method?
When I was putting in my e-mail address for bookshare, and used grade 2 as the
input method, it wouldn't work. Also when using the braille keyboard, in
computer braille how do you capitalize? I haven't found this in the manual yet.
I'm reading through it. Thanks. I really like the small size. It can travel
nicely in my knitting bag.
