Here's another thought. If your school downloaded the latest version of Office, then they could also get a free version of WindowEyes. The BN supports WindowEyes very well.


If your family can afford it, I would suggest they buy you your own laptop with Office and WindowEyes on it. Then, you wouldn't need to use the school's computer.

You do not need to download Key View.
Keyview is so that a sighted teacher, or someone else, can view your
bn's information on a computer.

What you need to do is make sure that the version of NVDA is the most
current, then select the bn as your Braille Display.

Note: If you are using a qt midel, you will need to use the braille
keyboard option. NVDA,as far as I know doesn't yet support qt
commands.

Joseph Lee knows more about this as I believe he is part of the team
that helped develop the driver for NVDA

Allright,

I have a computer at school that has NVDA on it.  For those who
do not know, NVDA is a screen-reader.  I want to use the BN as a
display since I do have the chord, and a display.  How would I do
that, and how would it work? Could I control the computer with
it? Anything I should know?
