to move the braille cursor when reading and editing 

and to activate items in a menu. 

On both the left side and the right side of the Braille 
display are three Command Keys (six in total). On 
the left, starting from the back, are C1, C2 and C3, 
which is the one nearest you. On the right side, you 
will find C4, C5 and C6 nearest you. The command 
keys  can  be  used  to  type  Braille  or  perform 
commands.  The  commands  depend  on  the  screen 
reader paired with the device.

 

Continuing  away  from  you,  on  a  small  rise  in  the 

surface  is  the  braille  keyboard.  The  layout  of  the 

keys  for  the  braille  keyboard  is  similar  to  most 

braille displays, with the traditional six Braille-input 

keys, a Backspace key (Dot 7), an Enter key (Dot 

8), and two Space keys. There is a speaker on each 

side,  for  stereo  sound,  and  an  integrated 

microphone next to the right speaker (currently not 

active). 

4.2. Front Edge 

Along the front edge of the device (closest to you) 

are  five  controls.  The  two  outermost  rectangular 

buttons are the Previous and Next thumb keys and 

are used to move between items in a menu.

 

Moving inward along the front edge, are two more 
rectangular buttons called the Panning keys. These 
allow you to move to the previous and next 40-cell 
section of the text you are reading.

 

In the center of the front edge is the small, round 
Home key. Use this key to return to the Main Menu
