Hi everyone,
Impacts local communities, so please spread this widely:
For some time, NV Access and other contributors were researching methods of
letting users input text using contracted braille via a braille display.
-I'm delighted to announce that a test version (in the form of a next
branch snapshot) is now available (next-13643).
More information on this effort can be found at:
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2439
And:
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6449
Issues to be tested include:
*General experience when entering text in contracted braille in various
situations.
* Entering text using various tables, including Unified English Braille
(UEB), various English and other language tables and others.
* Other unexpected situations.
If you have feedback:
. GitHub users: please comment on issues 2439 and/or 6449.
. Send an email to James Teh (NV Access) at Jamie@xxxxxxxxxxxx.
. Contact braille contributors, including I (Joseph Lee; new UEB
table set, Korean braille tables and BrailleNote), Leonard (HIMS products),
Davy Kager (Liblouis and Dutch tables), Michel Such (French translator),
Derek Riemer (UEB input tester) and others.
. Some of us have Twitter handles (Jamie's is @jcsteh, mine is
@joslee, Derek's is @derekriemer) and others. You can also use #NVDASR
hashtag or mention @NVAccess.
As this is an important feature, please test this feature widely. Thanks,
and I and others look forward to reading your feedback.
Cheers,
Joseph
