17.6 Buffering Text Input to Remote Devices
If you are a fast typer on the braille display, you may encounter times when the
remote device lags behind, slowing down your ability to input text quickly. Orbit
Reader 20 has a Buffer mode that allows you to input text up to 255 characters
and send them more quickly to a remote device, avoiding problems with the
speed of input of translated braille.
Note: Buffering text works only when connected with Bluetooth.
To open an input field in the Buffer mode, press Down Arrow. Once
open, a cursor indicates that you can start entering text. Press Dot 8 to send the
entire block of text to an “open edit box “on the remote device. Note that nothing
happens when you send text with no edit box open. Press Select to cancel the
action and exit the Buffer mode, without sending any text.
