[nobe-l] perky duck

[Kimberly Morrow]

I have encountered a similar situation while working through my braille certification through NFB/national Library service. The best solution my instructor and I have come up with is that I simply mail my braille lessons in hardcopy rail to my instructor. It has proven to be very slow, but it works.

However, I have noticed that Perky Duck and JAWS are not working well together.  JAWS is not always speaking when I am typing.  It also does not read any text I enter, so the only feedback I get is from my Focus 14 which is not easy to edit these kinds of documents with so few Braille cells.  Therefore, I have no reliable way to edit my work.  I am doing well on the assignments, but I could probably improve my score if I had an easier way of editing my work.  We tried the apex, but for some reason, my instructor can't grade files created on my apex.  We have not been able to solve this yet since we can't figure out why the issue is occurring when I changed my settings to match hers.  Therefore, is there anything I can do to make JAWS work better with Perky Duck or does it just not read no matter what I do? Also, can the Apex open dxb files? I was considering transferring it to my apex to check it and then send it to my instructor, but I'm not sure if the Apex support the dxb format.
