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
