hello hazel
ok your request about bumpons.
the traditional orange ones may cause a problem.
however you can buy small clear ones or even better you can get lock dots.
these are for keyboards.
I saw the post about penfriend labels but personally think they would be
difficult to identify.
lock dots are in the price range of abut £2 for 9 I think.
the small clear bumpons are about £4 for in the range of 80.
I use lots of these cleared ones and I have not encounted a problem.
one way to test is if your settings are set to do nothing when you close the
lid you will hear jaws talking if a key is being pressed.
I hope this helps.
MANY THANKS

Subject: [access-uk] keyboard and speech advice please
Hello all
I now have my first laptop and without going into any sob story on my health
issues all I will say is that I am unable to use all my fingers therefore have
a need to tactile more than usual keys, on our desctop we use small bump on's
but a friend told me that using these on the laptop keys might damage the
screen, I don't like velcro but rather than damage would have to use this so
does anyone else use these bumps or what else could I use?
My second question is about the real speak voices.
I use Jaws with the Eloquence voice but when I have tried real speak it
will not announce the capital letters which I like , any help on either of
these would be good.
Thanks
Hazel
