Hello. I am very new to the list. I obtained a Braille Plus 18 which is an
Android based note taker, book reader, browser, email client, and, with a
SIMS card, a cell phone. so far I am very disappointed with its
functionality. The browser is practically useless. It is awkward to use as
a phone because of its size and weight. Moreover, it lacks the
functionality of the touch screen and the gestures used with other such
devices with either IOS or android phones. An update to Android 4 has been
promised for more than eight months now.
I would like to hear from anyone else who uses the device. Some people tell
me that the shortcomings are endemic to Android, but I see other Android
devices who can do much more than I can with the BP 18.
David

Gil,
When focused on the button which needs labelling, with one finger, swype up
then right to enter the local context menu. Now place your finger in the
center of the screen, and then ever so slightly slide straight up toward the
top of the screen. Go slow, or you'll miss it. There is an option there
called label button, I think it says? Once your finger is hoverring on
this, lift your finger from the screen. Now, type the label. Then locate
the save button. Be careful as I think there is also a done button in here
on your keyboard itself. That isn't what you want. You actually wanna find
the save button above the keyboard. Double tap this, and there you go.
Chris.
