O Christopher, what a Load of questions, the only one I can answer for Sure is that your M power will run its own speech programm and it won't be jaws, jaws will stay on your laptop and work independantly, If your using the BN as a braille display on your computer then you'll use jaws, if your using your BN as a stand alone then it shall use its own softwear not jaws.

The BrailleNote I'll be asking about is the > MPower BT 32, which I'll be receiving shortly. > First of all, and a basic question, has anyone used JAWS, with or > without speech, with it? If so, how well does it work, and are there any > issues I need to be aware of? I'll be using JAWS 8.0.423 demo. The > reason why I'm asking is that due to my hearing I wish to use the > BrailleNote as a Braille display and, if possible, no speech. The > connection will be established via bluetooth due to my physical > difficulties. > Second, how well will I be able to programme, using the express editions > of Visual Studio 2005, with Braille only? I'm aware that with Braille > there's the possibility of identifying the layout of the code that I'll > be writing. For example, with Braille I'll be able to identify if any > indentations are present. > Third, how well will JAWS and BrailleNote work with the following > programmes: > Mozilla Firefox; Internet Explorer 7; Microsoft Office 2003 Standard; > Visual Studio Express Editions 2005; Skype; Windows Live Messenger; Ad > Aware with scripts; Spybot with scripts; AVG 7.5 free; Adobe Reader 7 or > 8; Mirc with Tirc plug-in; Winamp; Windows Media Player; RealPlayer; and > AOL software? > Fourth, how well does JAWS and BrailleNote work with the JAWS utilities, > particularly script manager? > Finally, for now at least, can anyone give me step by step instructions > on how to set up JAWS to use the BrailleNote as a refreshable Braille > display via bluetooth please? I have the Belkin Bluetooth USB adaptor > which uses Windows XP's generic bluetooth software.
