Re: A few Mac and iOS braille display questions

I may have solved my braille display not tracking the focus problem under Mac OS. I turned on the “show alert messages for duration” options under the Braille preferences in VoiceOver, then set a reasonable time limit. > On Mar 29, 2018, at 15:38, Scott Berry wrote: > > I

Hello, I took a quick gander at that article you sent along. What you need to ensure is that you have the latest firmware it’s kind of quirky in the old firmware they say. If your using 1.40 then you should have better success. Also you need to ensure your connected to the appropriate

Re: A few Mac and iOS braille display questions

What braille display in particular are you using and I may be better able to answer the second question for you? There is also a possible bug so I’ll watch for it. I also know that some Freedom Scientific Focus bluetooth braille displays are again not working on the Mac computers again. Jut

Re: A few Mac and iOS braille display questions

Hi, I don't actually have a Braille device to confirm, but if it is connected via Bluetooth, I expect that the Braille display would wake the iOS device. After waking, navigate to the Unlock button, tap it, then use Braille input to enter the Pass-Code. You should be able to navigate freely

A few Mac and iOS braille display questions

Just a few braille questions that have arisen recently: Is there a way to operate an iOS device from a Bluetooth-connected braille display without having to take the iPhone or iPad out and unlock it? That is, can the braille display access an iOS device while it’s on the lock screen? I’ve also

Two more braille display questions

Hi all, 1. It looks like there should be a way to add commands to the list, and then assign them to a braille display key, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can someone tell me if this is possible, and if so, how do you do it? 2. when I try and navigate through the messages table in

Re: Braille Display Questions

Hi there There are several commands which are already built into voiceover for using your braille display. Commands like plus the letter E for example, are the return key or enter.Plus the D means delete. Then you can map keys on your braille display to voice over commands. Regards Gigi Sent

Re: Braille Display Questions

How do you do VO on a braille display when using the Mac? I've not used my braille display very much with a Mac, and because I've not had a computer for over a month, I've not had the opportunity to use my braille display with a Mac. Kawal. On 5 Jan 2013, at 01:34 AM, Eugenia Firth

Re: Braille Display Questions

What Christine wants to do is use the command bound to VO-J; I don't remember the exact name for it but it allows for jumping between different parts of the screen and remain interacted with the same. I use it a lot in iTunes and Mail. For Mail it jumps immediately between the list of mail

Re: Braille Display Questions

Hi Steve and Kristeen Although it probably won't do everything that's wanted, I did figure out how to get into a message with the braille display so it can be read. It seems to work every time. If you press spacebar and the letter e, it's like doing the return key. I've done it several times

Re: Braille Display Questions

I tried the interaction command with the braille command and I was not taken to the message text. Rather, it interacted with the sender of the message. However, space with E sends the return key to the Mail App and then the message will open. Les On Jan 4, 2013, at 8:19 PM, Scott Davert

Thanks to you all. My questions are a bit more specific, I think. I would like to be able to use the display without having the voice on at all. I was able to function with just a Braille display when I used Windows and I could turn the Jaws speech off or mute it. When I try to do that with the

Re: Braille Display Questions

Chkristine. I just gfigured out how to interact with messages with your braille display. I thought it would work, and it did. Try pressing space bar with dots 2-3-6. I tested the other day to uninteract. That command is space bar and the dots 3-5-6. In other words, spacebar with the question

Re: Braille Display Questions

Hi. I have created my own command for this space with J. You can create keyboard commands on the display, however, they can only be for VoiceOver specific keyboard commands. For example, VO plus J works fine, but command Q, which is an OSX command, will not work. Apparently there is some kind of

Re: Braille Display Questions

HI Gigi. She was asking about VO plus J, which jumps to the text content of an email mesage. This is different than interacting with an item. I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that, I just thought I should clerify. Unless I'm the one off base here? Scott On 1/4/13, Scott Davert

Hi Scott. I realize that she was talking about Vo J and that it is different. However, I tested it, and it works anyway on email messages. I did that before I wrote the post. I wanted to see if it would work. It did. In fact, I wonder if these commands VO J and the usual interacting command

Re: Braille Display Questions

Thanks Iggie, I'll try that. You can customize some things under Braille in the Voiceover utility, but you can only customize the choices that are offered and so many things are not. Apple has a way to go with their Braille support on the Mac. I'm hoping it's better on the iOS platform. I've
