I haven't tested this functionality in a while, but if I recall, Duxbury is
JAWS scripted to read BRF files in their translated form instead of
gibberish. This would allow one to read the Braille, as well  as have it
read with JAWS.

Hi there,

 

Question regarding Bookshare.  I need to help someone access and download
books on Bookshare, but he is very hard of hearing and will probably be best
off using a computer with his Braille Display and JAWS as a very secondary
thing.  I use Bookshare but with my Streamer, so I just download the Daisy
books.  

I know that for this person, we'll have to download the BRF version of the
book, but then when unzipping it, what's the best way for him to be able to
read it and/or listen along to it?  Does this question make sense?

 

Thanks.
