Got my NVDA working!
I called in an agent from the Geek Squad. He got NVDA working with my Freedom Scientific Pac Mate. It looks good. JAWS wouldn't install. We don't know why. John

Problem with Secure Desktop
If I don't do anything on my machine for a while it goes to Secure Desktop, whatever that is, and NVDA is not working. The only way I can get out of it is to shut down the machine and turn it back on.

Indicating Python indentation in Braille
Is there a way to display a single-cell dot pattern for each level of indentation in Python? It must be Braille, not speech, since I am deaf-blind. Thanks, John

Indicating Python indentation in Braille
It would be much more intuitive if each level of indentation was shown as a non-blank cell. Such cells are quicker and easier to count. John
