As many of you know, I am a hold-out PK user because of its size. The
ElBraille running Windows 10, Jaws and the Focus is about the same footprint
at the PK but a bit thicker. I just got mine last weekend. I am not too
proficient with it yet but so far I really enjoy it. The trick is learning
all the shortcut keys because it has a Braille keyboard.
Sendero GPS and Maps sort of works on it. Note that you use the Chord M to
toggle the Speech box mode on. That helps read in Braille what the screen
reader says.
For some odd reason, when you press the single letter commands like A for
address and C for City, you hear the letter but not the related information.
However, if you plug in an external keyboard, these single letter commands
work same as they do on any PC. We are looking into fixing this.
The ElBraille has a GPS receiver built in but I haven't figured out how to
access it yet. I have been able to connect an external receiver.
This is a pretty suite package, especially for those of us who already have
Jaws and a Focus 14.
Stay tuned.
