Sorry William,

I do not know what brand the keyboard is. It was given to me. If it is face down with the number keys at the top, there is a slide switch near the top left (this is on the back side and all keys are face down.) Beside the slide key, there is a small button which presses in. I believe that is the on/off, but am not certain. The slide switch is probably for charging. I need to take my light detector and see if there is any kind of light.

Yes, it is that cute little dongle that I have misplaced. I used it with a USB keyboard and it worked fine. The dongle is most likely in one of my dresser drawers as I was playing around with the tablet in the bedroom. I should have probably left the dongle on the keyboard, but I don't like to leave those little bumpy connectors that plug into the tablet exposed. I would venture a guess that the BlueTooth keyboard might be one from Amazon, but I just don't know.

Hi Carol. You kinda read my mind. I started a tutorial on the
keyboard. It works OK, but, there are some things that aren't
intuitive. So, it's coming!

By the way, which bluetooth keyboard are you trying to pair?

I'll have to include a link to that dongle cable. Sometimes the
full-size usb keyboard with dongle works just fine, especially in
keying wierd stuff as email addresses and passwords!

Stay well ... William

Hey William,

You haven't, by chance, done any type of tutorial for Talk-Type yet,
have you?  I am having just as much trouble with this as I am with the
built-in keyboard.  I spent an hour trying to enter my email address
yesterday.  Of course, this was done with the built-in, Talk-Type, a
BlueTooth one I could not get paired and a HIMS U2QWERTY, which I was
pretty sure wouldn't work anyway.

One of the problems that I encountered was that it kept trying to get me
to use its autocomplete feature that I do not like.  I guess I will have
to find that cute little plastic connecter you recommended and hook up a
USB keyboard.

Carol
