[Njtechdiv] Pac Mate Display?

[Andy]

Eileen, since the product is a Braille display, a screen reader of some sort has to drive the unit.  Think of it in terms of a computer monitor: it does nothing on its own.

The display should work fine with JAWS, and I believe NVDA as well.  Since PAC Mate displays have no input, there's obviously no Braille keyboard, but if you plug it into a computer running JAWS, you should get Braille output.  I don't have a PAC Mate display myself so I can't test it, but that should be the case.

Its strictly a display, not the note-taker. I am not completely familiar with how it works other than needing a USB connection for power. So my questions are:
