[NFBCS] how can I view the space available on my hard drive with a braille display.

[Steve Shelton]

I'm not familiar with the Disk Management Console  so I  can't replicate
this on my system. I know that you must have the JAWS cursor active in some
Window dialogs in order to scroll through the information with speech and
braille. You might try pressing the JAWS cursor function and then scroll
with your braille display.

You can also use the Jaws history command after the information has been
read by Jaws. Press Insert + spacebar H to activate this command. This shows
you recently spoken text in a JAWS virtual window that should be accessible
with your braille display.

I looked at my  hard drive using Windows Explorer and the Capacity/Free
Space values are followed by GB. My disk has a capacity of 474 GB and Free
Space of 330GB so you are probably getting the correct values on your system


Hope this helps!

Steve

, My question is pretty basic. But here's the explanation anyway, Jaws can
read to me what the information is in the disk management console. 
But I can't read it.


For instance, it says that my drive but the healthy in TFS partition. It 
mentioned said it's encrypted by bit locker. It gives me a figure I 
think is 345. I'm assuming this is gigabytes, but I can't read it. I 
think it's telling me that the drive in total is 476 gig. This is the 
approximation of what I think is the state of my hard drive in terms of 
how much has been used and how much is supposedly free. I must emphasize 
here that at no point have I read the above and braille. This means by 
attempting to listen to something like this I am very likely going to 
misunderstand, everything. Any ideas of how to read this and braille? Of 
course this is while using Microsoft windows D11 professional. I hope 
this is enough information to clarify things.


Please note that the above text has been dictated to the computer by 
means of dictation software. If there's something you truly do not 
understand, please reach out to me and asked me what did I really mean? 
I look forward to reading your response. Thank you very much for reading 
this.


Sincerely Maurice Mines.
