[nabs-l] Question concerning using JAWS and a Braille display in French class

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Kayla,

I am taking my second semester of French this fall.  What Braille
display do you use?  Do you have a note taker?  I did not ever switch
my keyboard.  There are control codes for the accent symbols, which I
can give you if you want.  If you use those and set your language in
Microsoft Word to French, you should be set to go.  If Jaws recognizes
your language has changed to French, I am thinking the Braille
display, if connected to the computer, will as well?  I have never
done this as I use a Braille Note and set my documents to French as
needed.

I enjoyed French, and I hope you will as well!
