Hi Jean,
Here is a web page that mentions which brands of keyboards that will allow
6-key entry for braille input.
The title of the page is Computer Keyboards for Six-Key Braille Input
It is located at
http://www.braille-pokadot.com/keyboard.html
This page talks about pokadots but it could be use with any other program
that uses 6-key input.
This should help.

Hi Lisa,
Yes, I know which keys for six-key, but my keyboard is incompatible with
that method. Not all keyboards work with six-key.

The way that Perkey works is using f as dot 1, d as dot 2, s as dot 3, j as
dot 4, k as dot 5, l as dot 6.
I hope this may help you.

I just answered my own questionSmile. It's a simple braille editor like an
electronic Perkins, but Jaws reads the braille as Ascii braille. Plus is
doesn't help because I still can't use six-key entry.
Next question then. Can I hook up a BrailleNote and use that to input
braille directly into DBT or Perky? So instead of using the six-key entry,
could I use an external braille device for that?

Not sure if it's appropriate to ask, but since this is a Duxbury list...
Is Perky Duck accessible using Jaws? I can't use six-key entry with my
keyboard and am looking for an alternative for direct braille entry on the
PC.
