[nobe-l] Braille

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi!
You can use Duxbury with a screen reader? I thought that the translation software wasn’t very good with jaws or NVDA. How do you edit your work?

I then save my files in a brf format and submit them electronically.  On my first assignment I sent the file as a dbt file and the instructor kept saying that one of my inputs was wrong. I nearly lost my mind arguing with the instructor because I knew it was right. I think the braille display unit being used at their end caused a problem.  Anyway, using the brf format solved the issue. So, what I am saying here is to find out what type of braille display device (note-taker or whatever) the instructor may be using and be sure of the file format the device will recognize without any errors.
