nvda and serial braille displays

Joe Paton
 

Good evening readers

Is it possible for N V D A to drive a serial braille display?

I want to set up a windows 7 machine with a powerbraille via serial com1 or 2.

I have a distant recall that this might be possible via third party software.

If anybody can direct me to a repository or web site, or give me accurate
configuration instructions I will be most grateful.

Many Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

You can use serial displays by using Brltty. Install brltty. In the Nvda
menu, options, braille, select brltty.

You can download an version of brltty at: http://www.p-u.demon.nl/brltty-win-4.2-1.exe

Regards, marten
