Hi Sara
If you find that your keyboard won't work either for perky duck this is what I
did. I went into Future Shop which was wonderful explained the situation to
them that I needed a keyboard - and yes cheap ones work better for this, that
would allow sdfjkl to all be pressed and entered at the same time. We picked
out a keyboard and they plugged it right in at the store and then tried by
pressing the 6 keys sdfjkl all at the same time to see if it would record them
all. It worked very well that way. I live 1 1/2 hrs from a major city and
this was really helpful. When I hooked up the new cheap keyboard at home it
still worked. This was much better than trial and error buy and returning
several before finding one that works.
Hope this helps Sara

Hi. Sara,
Thanks for the impute I just got a wireless keyboard and was trying to use
that, maybe if I plug in the keyboard that actually came with my system it'd
allow me to do it.
Can you do 6 key entry in dbt as well or just perky duck?

Hi Maureen,
The problem might be your keyboard. I had to get a new, (and cheaper),
keyboard in order to write in DBT using 6-key entry. The newer and better
keyboards have something built in to them that doesn't allow the user to press
more than three keys simultaneously. If you try, only three dots will show up,
which makes typing things like q and r, not to mention some contractions,
impossible.
HTH,
Sarah

Morning all,
I'm attempting to self teach myself perky duck since I am unable for
whatever reason to open the help file. *sigh*
Anyhow, I have a couple of questions. 1. How do you make a capitol letter
using 6 key entry? 2. How do I write the letter g using 6 key entry? I tried
the Braille way for doing both of these but was unsuccessful. Also, do you
have to only type in grade 1 Braille in perky duck or can you use grade 2?
Thanks much,
Maurine
