Hi Dean, 

Can I connect the Apex with my Android Phone?  I would need to download
BrailleBack on the phone first, right?

I have seen this periodically with different braille displays and the
iPhone.  It's one reason why I'm not on the "let's dump all braille
notetakers" bandwagon.  I would try a different app for receiving the text,
like Notes, to see if that helps.  I would also reset the phone with the
quick method of pressing the power button five times quickly.  Once this
starts, I've found resetting to be the only way out of it.  I have
experienced this with the Refresh-a-Braille and Apex.  So far, not as much
with the U2.  And I have seen it with the eGS and 4S.  I do not know the
explanation, but it is highly frustrating, because when I have it happen,
not only are spaces either skipped or inserted at random moments, but
characters are back-translated in the middle of words, rendering the text
useless.

Folks,

Lately I have been using my Freedom Scientific Focus 14 Braille display
(including Braille keyboard) Bluetooth connected to my iPhone 5 running IOS
7.0.3, and the AFB Access Note application to take minutes at various
meetings.  I am noticing that often my spaces are not passed through to the
note.  I use both the grade 1 and grade 2 modes.  I know there is buffering;
however, sometimes I get entire lines without spaces.  Have others noticed
this? Any solutions?
