[NABS-L] Chinese braille typing

[aimeibee at gmail.com]

Hello, Rev, 
Yes I did install the Chinese keyboard. The thing is that there is a lot of characters sounds the same in Chinese but it has different meanings. and I can't use NVDA or Jaws to pic the different characters.
Thank you very much Amy

Hi, Amy.
In order to input braille characters from another language, back translation has to be supported from that language in LibLouis. If you are using JAWS with NVDA, I suggest installing a Mandarin keyboard on your computer and typing on your PC.

Hello Cassandra,
I am going to study Mandarin. I am using a focus 40 and NVDA and also Jaws .
I can get NVDA to show me the Chinese braille but I cannot use my focus 40 to input braille. Thank you very much fore the Chinese Jaws link, I actually saw it when I did my research. I am just trying to safe some money.  As you know blindness  Technology is very expensive. 
Thank you very much!!
Amy

Hello Amy,

I study Japanese and NVDA has a Japanese edition. I could not find the same in Chinese. I did however, find this:

 Maybe this could help you? Are you using Mandarin or Cantonese? I will see what else I can find.

Sincerely,
