Yadiel, I think it is possible do not quote me on that: but here is an insert
from a users guide, it definitely seems to be the case that jaws can spell the
word and perhaps even the contracted character here is the citation:
"Braille Study Mode
Available in JAWS 9.0.2169 or later, Braille Study Mode is a training tool
for teaching and learning braille. When Braille Study Mode is on, JAWS
will announce the current braille character in a display cell when you
press the Cursor Routing button immediately above that cell. When you
press the Navrow button (located behind the Cursor Routing button),
JAWS will announce and spell the braille word. To enable Braille Study
Mode, do the following:
list of 3 items
1.
Make sure that the Focus display is attached to your computer.
2.
Do one of the following:
list of 2 items nesting level 1
.
Press CTRL+INSERT+B to open the Adjust Braille Options
dialog box, or
.
Press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog
box.
list end nesting level 1
3.
Press S until Study Mode appears, and then press SPACEBAR
to toggle Study Mode on. Braille Study Mode remains on until
toggled off or until JAWS is restarted.
list end
In addition, when Braille Study Mode is disabled, you can always press
the braille display's left or right WHIZWHEEL together with either a
Cursor Routing or Navrow button to briefly use Braille Study Mode
functionality. This is useful when you need a quick reminder, but you do
not want to go through the process of turning on Braille Study Mode as
previously described. To use Braille Study Mode on the fly, do one of the
following:
list of 2 items
.
Press WHIZWHEEL+CURSOR ROUTING to make JAWS
announce the braille character in the display cell, or
.
Press WHIZWHEEL+NAVROW to make JAWS announce
and spell the braille word.
list end
"

I really can't help you with most of those questions. Here's the thing with
the manual. Are you sure it is from the focus 40 blue? I heard that freedom had
a problem once with the focus 40 manual. Apperently, acording with the website
the focus has a bump after at least each 5 cells. I hope this work. I am
planning of getting a focus 40 blue myself. Can you make uncontract a specific
contraction? I am learning grade 2 braille by my own and that would be really
handy.

Hello listers:
I still have several questions about the focus blue braille display.
Before I list my questions here are my software and hardware details. I am
running windows xp home edition 32 bit on asus 1000h andd running jaws 11.
If you can please answer my following questions please:
1. I pressed some buttons and the display started to move authomatically how
can I stop it? I tried to press these buttons again and it did not wowrk.
2. how to go back to default settings in case that I completely screw
everything up?
3. english manual says that there are just 5 marks above the navigation row
buttons but there seems to be 7 of them?
4. what is the difference between the cursors like:
move a braille cursor to pc cursor
move a braille cursor to current cursor
and so on.
5. If I sellect a menu pc cursor follows braille cursor how do I make jaws to
read the portion of the screen where I moved with a braille display? The
braille display moves the actual cursor moves as well but the jaws does not say
anything. So how do I make sure that jaws speaks when I move a braille display?
Many thanks for your help.
Zdenek
