Hi, I'm not an expert, but perhaps my thoughts may get your answers started.
The only product that you may be able to use is some of the braille note-
takers,
like Braille Lite M40. For a more general answer, some standard keyboards
allow you to key in braille using keys on the home row. For instance, the F
key would simulate an A. The D would act as a dot 2. The S would imitate a dot
3. Dots 4, 5, 6 would simulated by the letters J, K and L. Consequently, if
you wanted to enter a letter that contained more than one dot, you would press
the appropriate keys simultaneously. Some keyboards will not allow you to do
this. I have found that I am able to enter letters in braille containing more
than one dot by pressing the Shift and the letter I desire. In other words, if
I strike Shift+F, the letter F is entered and shows the appropriate dots on my
braille display.
