also I am testing still the orbit reader20 prototype and it does not 
work with window eyes even in rb18 emulation mode or refreshabraille18 
emulation mode. the braille on the orbit20 is better than any other 
braille display I have ever seen in my whole life. It feels like the 
braille you see on elevator doors, hotel room doors, or ATM machine 
signage quality firm durable braille. and it is liquid and dust 
resistant also. I accidentally dropped the orbit reader 20 prototype 
once and nothing happened, it fell upside down and i was able to pick it 
up and it just keeps working, not a scratch on it at all and no pins 
fell out at all. and its basic internal text or braille editor does not 
care what braille code you write in. you can write any kind of braille 
you wish whether its contracted braille ueb braille music or nemeth math 
braille. just like a perkins brailler or slate and stylus, you can write 
any braille code you wish, even make up your own or write grade3 
shorthand if you want.

RE: braille displays and we

Joshua,

I have not seen the latest prototypes of the Orbit Reader, but I assume
there are still no cursor routing keys, is that correct?  You said you can't
use it with Window-Eyes, but have you used it with other screen readers?  If
so, what does it do when you have a cursor that moves when you are editing a
word?  In other words, how well does it show that a cursor moved but no
characters changed?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

the screen reader tells the orbit20 to show dots 7 and 8 directly 
underneath the letter you are editing. its just like a $4000 braille

I cannot use orbit20 with window eyes. I can use orbit20 with NVDA, and I 
can use orbit20 with jaws. orbit20 works excellent with NVDA and it also 
works excellent with jaws also! the screen reader tells orbit20 to use dots 
7 and 8 as a cursor under the character you are currently editing.

RE: braille displays and we

2017-04-08 Thread Rod Hutton via Talk
Hi Josh,

I'm curious which braille display option you chose when trying to get it to 
work with Window-Eyes.
As memory serves, the best way to install a braille display with Window-Eyes is 
to run the Setup wizard.
When you get to the braille display section, I believe it will attempt to 
recognize the display automatically.
See what happens If you try this.

Hth,

Rod

want to edit a word 5 pages into your document, how does one move the 
editing cursor to the place on the braille display?

RE: braille displays and we

2017-04-24 Thread Steve Jacobson via Talk
Steve,

Those of us who saw earlier prototypes of the Orbit braille display product
are not sure how well it will perform in environments where one is editing
and the only characters that are changing are the dots that show the cursor.
For many, the absence of cursor routing keys is also a significant
disadvantage as you have already stated.  Some have said that the display is
very flexible and could be the basis of a display with more features but
still priced lower than what we have come to expect.  Time will tell on how
that shakes out.  

Clearly, this display will work very well in situations where the main
function is reading.  If a version of this display is distributed free to
customers of our National Library Service as are machines for reading audio,
it would really have an impact.  If it works as well as Josh describes in
editing situations, the disadvantage of no cursor routing keys might be
easier to overlook.  It would require some getting used to, though, by those
of us using displays with that feature.  Some of these questions won't have
answers until we see the final product and know which display drivers will
be used for sure.  Still, it will almost certainly make braille easier to
afford, but it may not eliminate the need for the higher priced displays for
many of us.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Re: braille displays and we

2017-04-24 Thread David via Talk
Many of the listers may never remember the "old days" in the assistive 
world. But for those of us who does, I for one can still remember the 
days when no Braille display had cursor routing capabilities. I can 
assure you it is not totally necessary, though quite handy, to have this 
functionality.


As for the user who asked how to fetch the cursor, in the middle of a 15 
page document, I am not totally sure I get the point in the query. And, 
it's been a while since I had a Braille display attached to my WinEyes 
machine, so forebare please with me, should my memory fail. Usually, 
when moving the Braille display, you could set it to "pull" the cursor 
along. At least, that used to be the case in other screen readers. 
Meaning, if you move the Braille display to next line, the cursor on the 
screen also would move down one line in the document. Now, should you 
find something to correct on that line, you would just have to use the 
arrows on the computer keyboard to direct the cursor to the correct 
position.


Alternatively, instead of moving the Braille Display line by line, you 
would set it to follow the cursor, and then do all your moving directly 
with the computer arrows. That way, you definitely would have the cursor 
handy - at the same line as the display - at any given time. Sure, you 
would have to move your hand up on the main keyboard for the next line, 
but that simply is a matter of habit. With a small display of something 
like 20-30 cells, you might even be better off in doing the reading 
altogether with one hand, leaving the other on the arrows of your main 
keyboard, thereby eliminating all issues of cursor redirection.


As for how to operate the mouse, by using the braille display - like 
when you can click one of the cursor routing keys and have it act as a 
mouse-click - I am not sure how they solve this on modern displays 
without the cursor-routing keys. My experience with this kind of 
displays run way back in the DOS days, when a mouse still had four legs, 
peeped, and ran into the nearest hole in the wall when it heard any 
mention of a cat. Hence, the issue of operating such a pet on the 
computer screen for a blind person, would still be several years ahead 
in time. Smiles.


Well, have we all been a bit nostalgic through the years? :D

2017-04-25 Thread Pamela Dominguez via Talk
Yes.  Isn't that called cursor tracking?  My first braille display was a 
keybraille that I had with my dos computer I used on my job.  It could only 
produce computer braille, and there was no such thing as cursor routing.  I 
made all my corrections on the computer.  My first braille lite didn't have 
it either, but you used key strokes to bring the cursor to where you needed 
it to be to correct the mistake.  Pam.

Re: braille displays and we

2017-04-25 Thread Terri Pannett via Talk
On the HIMS braille displays, you can use the keyboard or the navigation 
keys on the braille display itself for the arrow keys, home, and end. 
There are braille hot keys for page up and page down.  You don't have to 
use the PC's keyboard.


I also added 48 braille hot keys for my U2 Qwerty so I can type 
everything using its keyboard instead of the PC's keyboard.  There are 
only a few keys that require me to use the PC keyboard.  It's so wonderful!

It has been a few months since I saw the prototype, but my guess is that you 
will use traditional chord commands - space-d4
 Etc.

Hardly useful if you can't move the cursor with the display.

I think I'll give the Orbit a miss.

All the best

yes that is correct, there are no cursor routing buttons at all. but that is ok 
I can do without cursor routing buttons.
when you are editing a word, the screen reader tells the orbit20
