[Trainer-Talk] Jaws commands with various Braille displays

Tue Feb 28 15:16:40 UTC 2017

Hello Sarah,

I am pasting a list of JAWS commands for the BrailleEdge 40 below my
signature block in this message.  The list is taken from the BrailleEdge 40
V1.1 manual.  I am also giving a link to the manual below.  You can list
links in the manual using JAWS key F7.  The JAWS commands are listed in
4.4.4.

Use the following instructions to set up the Braille EDGE 40 as a Braille
display with the JAWS screen reader from Freedom Scientific:

using USB, please connect the Braille EDGE to your computer via the included
USB cable.

2) Navigate to the JAWS Window and press "Alt" to open the menu. 

3) Press "Enter" on the "Options" menu.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Jaws commands with various Braille displays

   Good morning. I have a focus 40 blue but am considering purchasing either
a Brailliant or a Braille Edge. I like the limited notetaking capabilities
of the Edge. I did not find a list of Jaws commands to use with these
displays on the companies' websites. Where can I find one? Thank you.
