I am an experienced user of brltty in both Linux and Windows 7. (I use Windows 7 at my job but not at home.) In Windows I use it with NVDA because the versions I’ve downloaded in the past never worked

I've been using the focus highlight now for several years with no issues. I am blind and my purpose is to show sighted people where I am when pointing out something on a web page or in an app, and to

The reason using Brltty can be important is because it supports thos old, no longer produced, no longer documented Braille displays. And you can find them on Ebay for a song! I still don't have Brltty

At NVDACon, we briefly discussed IRC clients and I'd like some more information. Irc appeals to me over voice-chatting because I'm often at work and don't want to make it obvious that I'm not always w

Regarding the similar feature in JAWS; it was just released last week with the JAWS 18.0.2945 update which users were notified if they have updates turned on. You can find it in the settings center bu

I'm editing a newsletter for an all-volunteer organization. Everyone keeps sending me pictures embedded in email rather than attachments. My husband, who is sighted explained that they just drag and d

I have used a PB40 and a Navigator for years with NVDA. Not quite as polished as JAWS support, but quite good, especially when you do object nav. The trick is to choose brltty as your driver and confi

I missed the beginning of this thread, but for nearly twenty years I've just loved TotalRecorder. Even its video recording ability is pretty accessible and the documentation is superb. It has run on e

** This was also cross-posted to Cavi-discuss *** As a screen reader user, I'm finding selecting a new laptop is more difficult than ever before. I'm very curious to see what others think, so please p

I have an in-house application that uses data grids, somewhat like Microsoft Access. I can move around the grid with the arrow keys, going between both fields and records. To hide columns, one must dr

This discussion kind of evolved in to talking about browsing with Amazon, but I have some more general ideas. First, do make sure you have IE, Chrome and FireFox and Edge, available and updated, and d

I agree that find is the best way to position yourself to where you need to go on a complex page. The JAWS touch cursor defaults to being a 2-dimensional sort of replacement for the JAWS cursor becaus

I used NVDA with brltty on Windows 7, but when I switched to Windows 10, I didn't want to install Brltty because there was already a version that got installed when you enabled Braille with narrator.

Maybe you can't get it working in Win10 because of the hooks already there for the Brltty Microsoft hacked up for Narrator. I'm afraid to try adding Brltty for NVDA because I have Narrator working fin

Well I discovered a few things. On an old Windows 7 machine, which has a real serial port, I installed the latest Brltty which is brltty-win-6.0-1-libusb-1.0 it's an .Exe file and a typical Windows in

Guys, this was my mistake! It works perfectly. The problem was the help screen, you are supposed to read by pressing F1, wasn't reading on my home PC. I tried it at work and could read the help fine.

Good news, folks! I installed the latest Brltty (filename in my above post) on two Windows 10 machines, one at work and one at home. The home machine is a slow, slow atom and the one at work is a supe

I am giving the lightning talk on learning foreign languages. I put together a handout to accompany the talk. This way I can discuss a procedure, such as installing a new keyboard in general, but the

I did the lightning talk at NVDACON on learning foreign languages using NVDA. I really enjoyed the conference, and really enjoyed making this contribution. I definitely want to do a session next year,
