Braille Formatting
|
Jonathan Milam
Hi All,
While reading a document with my Brailliant BI 40, the text fills the entire display for the first several pans, but then I may see one or two words and a mostly blank line until I advance the display again. I am seeing this in Google Docs, Word and even Notepad. Which setting do I need to change within NVDA to ensure that each advance of the display fills the entire display with text?

Did you get an answer to this? The only thing I can think of is could it simply be the document? EG this first line of my reply is quite long and although visually it likely wraps to a second line, it is one "line" and should pan correctly on a Braille display. This line is short. This too.

Thanks, Quentin. I didn’t, but you are correct in that the panning works well for long sentences. However, I’m assuming there isn’t a way to set the display to bring the next sentence up to fill the rest of the display where the previous sentence ended?

Not that I can think of. There is a Braille setting to "Read by paragraph" but I think it uses the Word model of hard line break (eg when you've pressed enter while typing) = new paragraph. On Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 11:41 PM Jonathan Milam <milamj@...> wrote:

Gentlemen, The setting for this is sometimes called “Compress blank spaces” as it is called in the Orbit Reader. I would expect the Braille display to manage this rather than NVDA. Does the Brailliant offer such a choice?
All the best,

Thanks all. You’re correct, Quentin. Cearbhall, unfortunately the Brailliant doesn’t actually have this setting. Perhaps the Orbit has it because it has a built-in editor, but the Brailliant is just a display and has no editing functionality. Is this setting for compressing space a feature that could be added to NVDA in the future?

Firstly, Here is the NVDA User Guide section on Baum, Humanware, APH and Orbit Braille Displays: Re the idea of being able to compress onto one line in NVDA itself, I must admit, I haven't looked into it. My best suggestion is to raise an issue on GitHub requesting it: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/new/choose Kind regards Quentin.
