Thanks. I do think I'll be looking at the Icon because I'm faster at
texting and so forth. I will be adding another question here in about
30 seconds but it'll have to be in another thread so keep on the
lookout for that.

for Braille Plus users - forgot one item I wanted to add)
Hi. Just my 2 cents here, but it's probably like exercise in a
way. the more you do it, the better and faster you will become. To
answer your question though, yes such a task can be accomplished.
of course, this may depend on the size of your fingers, as to how
tired or cramped they might become. I would say, if you start to
tire, take a breather. Bear in mind, too, that you can hook up a u
s b or a bluetooth qwerty keyboard, thereby not limiting yourself
to the braille keyboard. Just my thoughts.

Actually, I did look over the BP commands, and (just a
friendly nudge) but E-Chord is select, and I believe 4-6 chord
is okay, Z-Chord is escape, but overall you are right; the
commands do remain and that is one thing I'm looking forward
to, should I decide on the Braille Plus. I have one last
question. How is the Braille Plus' keyboard for extended
typing? For example, I recently wrote a 3000 word, 21 page,
essay (as a proposal for getting this device); could such a
task be accomplished on this unit and if so how much fatigue
would it cause? I'm not super speedy in my Brailling but I'm
also no slow poke, so I guess you could put my Brailling speed
at the middle for reference (my speed slows down with Grade 2
but is slowly increasing).
