Hi everyone,
I have a netbook computer Aspirer AOA150 with built-in keyboard with 3 USB
ports for attaching devices such as thumb drives, DVD drives, external hard
drives, PacMate Braille display, etc.
I recently installed Duxbury 10.7 service release 1 to see if I could write
Braille on this particular keyboard.
The result was not what I was wanting to see.
I have tried both a s d f j k l ; and x c v , . /.
That is a comma, period, and a slash for those using speech in reading this
message.
I looked at the list of keyboards listed on the pokadot web site located at
http://www.braille-pokadot.com/keyboard.html.
Tonight as I was writing this message, a friend of mine bought me a Logitech
200 keyboard and it does allow me to type six-key entry on that. Now I am so
excited. It was purchased at Wal-mart.
Another problem I am having now is when I write a file in Grade 2 Braille
with Braille and speech, JAWS reads it as comma for capital sign, a number 4
for the period, and so forth.
I know that there is a JAWS script for DBT but for it to work I cannot
remember how to configure it properly.
Can anyone help in this area?
I also cannot use any of the hot keys associated with this at the moment.
Also, how do I configure my computer to open the braille file for Duxbury?
I know that there is a way to do that in Windows explorer or my computer
through the folder options I think.
I need a response right away.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
y
