Entering Data
Use the Perkins-style braille keyboard to type text on ElBraille. You can
enter text in computer braille, or contracted or uncontracted braille. If you
choose to type in contracted braille, your input is immediately translated
back as normal text in the current email, document, or form. If an
application or specific edit box does not support contracted braille, JAWS
announces “Computer Braille.” In addition, the computer braille start
symbol, dots 4-5-6 followed by dots 3-4-6, is shown on the braille display to
indicate when computer braille is required. For more information, refer to
the JAWS Help.
You can write and edit text not only in text editing applications, but also in
edit fields in Windows dialog boxes as well as forms on web pages. In all
cases, the commands for editing text are the same. To start a new line, use

delete the character under the cursor, use
