Hi Ian. If you don't knwo the Braillenote QT get a demo of it first as although the unit is quite small, it may not be to your tastes if you have large hands as to fit the keyboard into such a small space, the keys need to be fairly cramped up. If you have a Braillenote BT another way of having Braille while also having the ability to use qwerty could be to use a bluetooth keyboard when you want to use qwerty and use a Braillenote MPower BT for Braille the rest of the time.

I've also been told that the semicolon (;) and a keys simulate dots 7 and 8 where necessary. I have an mPower BT, as I prefer that input method. Hope that helps.
