Hi, I'm not sure if Humanware will be interested in providing drivers for other braille displays since they now sell an Apex with a braille display. I'm asuming that they would figure that if someone wants to use a braille display they would buy a Braillenote rather then a Voicenote. I know there is quite a price jump from one to the other and it would be nice if you already have a braille display for you to be able to use it with a voicenote but I don't think this would be a high priority for them. If they did decided to provide drivers for external displays then they would only want to do this for displays they sell but I don't think that will be any time soon.

It's a nice mobile computer and I am sure | there are lots of things that can be done with the hardware with a capable | programmer. | My suggestion for humanware for a future feature for the apex would be to | have some drivers available so that we could use our external Braille | displays like the focus 40 blue on the apex. It would be nice to have this | capability when editing Braille documents. I tried plugging my display into | the apex and got the expected result that this hardware isn't supported. I | think it would be a nice feature to have this option available for those of | us who already own a couple of Braille displays and would like to use them | on the apex when at home. It shouldn't be hard to write a driver for the | apex to take advantage of the buttons I have on my focus display. | Who would I make this suggestion to at humanware? It seems like a good | idea. | | Marco | [email protected] | | | -----Original Message----- | From: [email protected] | [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jack Jones | Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 1:13 PM | To: [email protected] | Subject: re: [Braillenote] Display braille | | Yeah, that would make sense then.
