[Trainer-Talk] braille display questions

[Louis Maher]

Good evening 

for the orbit reader, are the arrow keys a work-around for the absence of cursor-routing buttons? (Yes.  Also, during editing, you can make the cursor go to the end or beginning of the 20-cell field with the rocker controls.)

the braille me uses six-dot braille. what is the difference between six and eight-dot braille? (Eight dot Braille gives you several options including the computer Braille code, and having dot 7 raised for capital letters so your capital letters can take up only one cell.  Also you can have dots 7 and 8 raised and lowered to show your cursor position.)

Do both displays work with Jaws?  (The Orbit 20 certainly works with JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator.)

Regards

   Good evening. I am considering purchasing either the Orbit reader
20 or the braille Me. for the orbit reader, are the arrow keys a work-around for the absence of cursor-routing buttons? the braille me uses six-dot braille. what is the difference between six and eight-dot braille? Do both displays work with Jaws? Thank you.
