Hi all, First of all, sorry for any duplicate messages you may receive, but I had to cross post because I need as much help as I can in getting started with the BrailleNote and how it will work for my studies, as well as general computing. The BrailleNote I'll be asking about is the MPower BT 32, which I'll be receiving shortly. First of all, and a basic question, has anyone used JAWS, with or without speech, with it? If so, how well does it work, and are there any issues I need to be aware of? I'll be using JAWS 8.0.423 demo. The reason why I'm asking is that due to my hearing I wish to use the BrailleNote as a Braille display and, if possible, no speech. The connection will be established via bluetooth due to my physical difficulties. Second, how well will I be able to programme, using the express editions of Visual Studio 2005, with Braille only? I'm aware that with Braille there's the possibility of identifying the layout of the code that I'll be writing. For example, with Braille I'll be able to identify if any indentations are present. Third, how well will JAWS and BrailleNote work with the following programmes: Mozilla Firefox; Internet Explorer 7; Microsoft Office 2003 Standard; Visual Studio Express Editions 2005; Skype; Windows Live Messenger; Ad Aware with scripts; Spybot with scripts; AVG 7.5 free; Adobe Reader 7 or 8; Mirc with Tirc plug-in; Winamp; Windows Media Player; RealPlayer; and AOL software? Fourth, how well does JAWS and BrailleNote work with the JAWS utilities, particularly script manager? Finally, for now at least, can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to set up JAWS to use the BrailleNote as a refreshable Braille display via bluetooth please? I have the Belkin Bluetooth USB adaptor which uses Windows XP's generic bluetooth software. Also, are there any issues to be aware of, apart from the obvious bluetooth issues, when using this combination? Thanks in advance for any help I receive. It will be greatly appreciated.
