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.

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?

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. Jean
