Thanks so much, Larry. That should allow me to get things quickly for the
moment.

No, it is a free app. Just search for Braille or BrailleBack, and it should
pop up immediately.

Another gereat option, especially while you're getting used to the phone, is
going to the Play Store on your PC's browser. Once you elect to install an
app from there, the Play Store will send it and install it on your phone.

Thanks, I tried looking for that app but it didn't show up. Is it a paid
app? Not that I mind paying for an app but I'm still in the setting things
up phase and haven't added a payment method to my account yet.

Cindy:

You'll need to install BrailleBack from the Play Store to be able to use
that braille display with your phone.

Good luck.

Thanks, Kevin. I had found a couple of those and I am going to use TalkBack
instead of Code Factory. So far, it is working very well. My two immediate
problems are accessing the on-screen keyboard and using my braille display.
The keyboard reads the letter after you have selected it and clicks when you
pass over letters but does not read the letters like it does with the phone
keypad. My braille display has paired, but it doesn't control anything on
the phone yet.

I just picked up an Android phone this week and was wondering if there are
any other Android users here? Or if anyone knows a good "email" list for
questions <Kevin?>?
