[Trainer-Talk] Braille Display with Google Doc

[JASON ALAMILLO]

This is a lot of good information because I just received the Focus 40 Blue Fifth Gen from VR services out here in Nevada and haven’t really gotten a lot of good training and have to do it on my own which is ok, but having this is awesome. But yes, make sure that both the input and output are both the same having contracted UEB braille. I have NVDA and it appears to be the same in the braille settings. You have to do some maneuvering but it’s doable. I am still learning as it is but I thought I’d provide some input if this is helpful to you.
