Dear Sage, Many thanks for your message. Sorry I won't be able to help, I jsut wanted to report that I also tried to use BRLTTY on Windows with NVDA and failed to do so although I spent uqite some time trying to make it work.
The problem I had was that I was unable to make BRLTTY recognize my braille display. The problem, as I understand it, is that BRLTTY was not able to register itself as a USB driver. I even tried to get in touch with Microsoft on this but that failed, too. I think it would really be nice if we could get this to work because it would make Windows a bit less alien for us Linux users, at least we would be able to use it through our favourite screen review program. I have no idea what could unblock the situation at this stage, though. Sébastien.
