I could only get 5 keys to work at a time, but something odd happened. I could get all letters and symbols to come out correctly, even an "er" sign, but I cannot get a p to come out. It keeps turning into an s. Now, suddenly, these keys are not working again and often only 2 will work at a time. How easy is it to find a keyboard with the rollover this program needs, and how much will it cost? Again, how much is the actual program? Thanks.
Have a great day, Alex

Hi Alex,
In order to know if the keyboard can handle 6 keys at the sametime, simply open Windows Notepad or Word and press the six keys at the same time, try this more than once and see if all the sex letters appear in each time or not.
As for the problem of the keyboard, my desktop keyboard workedperfectly, while my laptop keyboard had the same problem as yours.
i get over the problem, by using the option in the program called"Define SBK keys". you can get to it from the settings button. this option allows you to defin any other six keys for braille writing. you will first try to find other six keys that can work simultaneously. to do so open notepad again and try pressing any six keys in the first row, then in the second and the third row untill you see that all six keys were displayed.
for my laptop the working keys were (YTR UIO), you may consider
trying them.
hope this would help.

tried the word "am" but got "a more" instead, for example. Normally what I type will not be translated correctly at all and odd things will happen. I think a big part of the problem is that my keyboard will not work with that many keys at once. Where can I get a keyboard that can do this, or better yet how can I tell if one will before I buy it? How much does this program cost to register (I live in the U.S.). Thanks. If I can get this working it looks like an amazing program.
Have a great day, Alex

Hi all,
i have written on this subject before, however i have receivedtoday an e-mail that informs me about the new version and giving me also free update to it from version 1.3. I tried the new version and it is quite good and has a lot of features. those have attracted me exclusively:
-the addition of three-letters contractions of English braille. -the ability to identify contractions with bold italic andunderline.-the ability to add Your own contractions and define rules forthem.-the much advanced feature of allowing you to create a whole newlanguage with alphabets, simple and complex braille contractions.-i also observed some bugs have been resolved and some otherimprovements.
the new program must have a try.
you can download the new version 2.0 from www.oss-globe.com/sbk
Thanks
