Hi Chevelle,
Thanks for your help. I've just started using Kurzweil as well as my
Braille display. I have a Braille Voyager 70. Originally I exited Jaws to
use Kurzweil which of course meant I couldn't use my Braille display. I'm
finding I'm using the Braille display more and more and I'm glad to know I
can also use it with Kurzzweil too...it will help a lot! It's awesome to
have the option to read things for myself as an alternative to hearing them
all the time.
Please write me off list about using it with MSN at:
melady717@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks!
Lil ~
