keys. Moving from left to right, the key that is the farthest to the left is

called the F1 key, and the key to the right of the F1 key is called the

F2 key. Then, you will feel the spacebar. The key that is to the right

of the spacebar is called the F3 key, and the key that is to the right of

the F3 key is the F4 key.

Above the function keys, you will find the Braille keys that are

Perkins-style, including the spacebar. If you have ever used a regular

computer keyboard, this setup is very similar to the keys on the home

row on a regular computer keyboard. When you are typing, you

should place your fingers on these 9 Perkins-style keys in the

following manner:

Place your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger of

your left hand on the left four buttons. Then, place your index finger,

middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger of your right hand on the

right four buttons. Finally, place both of your thumbs on the spacebar,

also called the space key.

The button where you placed your left index finger corresponds with

dot one in Braille. The button that your left middle finger is on

corresponds to dot two, and the button that your left ring finger is on

corresponds to dot three. The button on which your left pinky finger

is placed on is the backspace key.

The button that your right index finger is on corresponds with dot four

in Braille. The button that your right middle finger is on is dot five, and

the button your ring finger is placed on corresponds with dot six in

Braille. The button on which your right pinky is placed is the enter key.

And, the long bar shaped button where your thumbs are placed is

called the spacebar.

Toward the top of the Braille Sense Plus B32 on the top panel, is a

liquid crystal display (LCD) in the center. The LCD displays the

printed text, so that someone who has sight can see what you are

typing. On both sides of the LCD, there are two speakers, which

enable the Braille Sense Plus B32 to emit sound.
