Where do I get NVDA 2013.1? I think I have 2012.3.1 or something like that.

Only when using it with iOS does device name matter. Currently, NVDA devs including myself are working on coming up with a universal braille commands for NVDA to be used on braille displays (similar to VoiceOver). AT this point, the command sets used on Apex is such that we have room to include other commands.

I checked and also I know it is named correctly because the apex works with my iPhone and the iPhone also needs the Apex to be called Apex and then the 6 numbers.

I heard you can use the Apex as a braille display with NVDA. however, I downloaded and installed the driver from the hw website on to the computer, hooked the Apex up to the computer with a usb cord, turned the braille terminal on on the Apex and set it to usb and then the computer made a kind of 3 beeps sound and said found new hardware and asked me if I wanted the computer to search for drivers so I said yes, then I went into the braille settings on NVDA and tried to set up the Apex as a braille display. It completely failed! I selected hw displays and pressed enter and got the error beep and an error message on the computer. Does anyone know what I may have done wrong?
