Richard: Check to be sure you have the latest version of the software, which is version 1.05. Rob >>> richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx 07/17/07 03:25AM >>> I just received the braille plus today. For the most part, I love the braille entry possibilities. For the most part. However, there are lots and lots of problems with the way it echos words. * When echoing words; if you write a word that contains many contracted braille symbols, the braille plus only echos the letters after the symbol. Like the word "echos" the braille plus says "os." * it never says the word "the" when you use dots 2,3,4,6. * "word" says "will." I could go on and on, but I won't. * After apostrophes the single letter is spoken as if it were a solo word. I hope there are already plans to clean this up. Thanks, Richard
