Hi:
I have been using Money Talks with speech off and braille on for the
screen reader, and self-voicing on. I need to report that for a
Window-Eyes user, this could be a problem. I am getting no braille on
the display. It seems to be sticking the display at the far right of
the window. If I press the Right read key with wrap turned on, I go
immediately to the next line of text. As I cursor up and down
transactions, I only see the characters "cc" at the left edge of the
braille display (custom control in WE parlance).
In Virgo, you see the first characters of each transaction while
cursoring up and down. If you move left and right on a transaction, the
highlighting moves along the braille line accordingly. If you move the
highlighting far enough to the right, it disappears off the right end of
the display, leaving the braille showing and moving up and down the left
side of the screen. You must use the left/right keys for display
navigation to move over to the cursor, if you want to do that. To me,
this is ok. Purely as an aside though, I'd do different things with a
braille display if I could.
Now that I've seen how Moneytalks uses highlighting, maybe I can
discover a setting in WE to make it act similarly.
