Have you tried to create the custom keys needed for braille input? The problem we have is that it isn’t really in Freedom Scientific’s interests to support better access to their displays through Window-eyes, and Gw Micro doesn’t (generally) develop specific customisations for braille displays. They rely on the manufacturers of the display or enthusiastic Window-eyes users.
I might just have to get myself a braille ascii character chart and set about this myself. Vaughan.

Has anyone developed the Window-Eyes hot keys to the point where we can direct braille input from the Focus Braille Displays? I have to use my Focus Blue while my Braille Edge goes in for servicing, and knowing that Freedom Scientific will never write Window-Eyes applications, I wonder if an individual might have set up direct input from their own Focus display and maybe the hot key assignments can be distributed for those who are interested. Of course – it might be that the driver won’t allow for this, but at this stage for me, it is a case of if I don’t ask – I don’t know. I believe that if I use the custom hot key features for braille hot keys I might be able to achieve what I require, so with respect to this specific display, is it worth customising the braille keys?
