When you are in the braille editor and the last line is blank, you are not
told this when you press the down arrow.
For example, if you have a three line file, and on each line you have the
following:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
If you start on the first line, and press the down arrow, you hear, "line
2", then if you press it again, you hear, "line 3", then hit it again and
you hear "end of file."
However, if you have a four line file in which the first three lines are
the same as above, but the fourth line is blank, and you press the down
arrow when starting on the first line, you hear exactly the same. There is
no indication that the last line is blank.
Also, if you have a file with only one character on each line like the
following,
1
2
3
And you start at the top of the file and press the down arrow, it says
"blank", hit it again and it says "3".
Likewise, if you start at the bottom of the file and hit the up arrow, you
hear "2", hit it again and you hear, "blank", even though you should
obviously hear "1".
Another small suggestion, if you hit the enter key and then hit backspace,
you hear "blank". Wouldn't it be more intuitive to say something like
newline or some such. Not totally necessary, as programs like jaws do the
same thing, but just a thought.
Finally, I'm curious to know if there will ever be a grade 2 trans later
incorporated into the bookport note taking feature? Is the reason just
that it would exceed the processing power/internal memory of the unit? Is
it just that it would be a lot of work? What is the probability of such a
feature showing up in the next several months? If the answer to the last
question is "slim to none", that's no problem. I just wanted to bring it up.
Thanks for a great product and the continual squashing of bugs. There do
seem to be a good number of them, but honestly it doesn't bother me at all
because I see a lot of progress being made.
Sincerely
aaron Cannon
