  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

    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
