Brailliant display on startup
|
Karl Smith
I have just installed a Brailliant 40 on a Del laptop with NVDA. I have noticed a couple of issues and wonder if anyone has any answers.
1. The Braille doesn't come up during logon but only after NVDA is fully loaded. Is there any way to change this? 2. The end user won't have their display immediately so will have to plug it in when it arrives. I find that even after it is plugged in you have to restart NVDA to have Braille. Is this normal, as the screen reader who shall not be named pops up Braille when the display is plugged in. Thanks.

If you get the braille extender addon, things seem to get better in reloading it if it goes off, and you can set a hotkey to load whichever one you want, plus its got all sorts of other cool features.

Hi I don’t use Braille, so I may be talking nonsense here. Regarding braille not being available on log-in screen, presumably you have braille settings on the NVDA profile associated with your windows user account but have you used the feature in the NVDA General setting dialog where you can copy your profile for use on log-in screens?
Cheers Chris

After copying the profile, the braille display became available at password prompts, for example. This was using a VFO/Freedom Scientific Focus display in my work environment, but the type of braille display probably doesn't matter.

Thank you for this info. I wasn’t aware of this feature as I’m not an everyday NVDA user. Unfortunately this only works with the speech settings but not the Braille settings.
