Hi:
Locking the keys would be a solution.

Hi. I've noticed that when I've tried to use the recording feature in settings
when the
Braille Plus isn't laying on a flat surface, I've been dumped back into the
applications menu unless I've got the shoulder strap connected to the Braille
Plus and I'm
careful as to how I move around if I'm not seated. I'm planning on touring the
Library
of Congress, particularly parts of it having to do with the NLS Program and may
try
to experiment. The internal mike does make really decent recordings but as
mine's not
functioning now I'll have to use a mono external mike.
