[blindkid] Chrome books & braille displays

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     The AFB's may issue of Access World has a review of Chrombooks. The
machine needs improvement. The Chrombook seems to be essentially a web
browsing device. Because of this, I would suggest trying an iPad to see if
it could do the same job. If so, braille displays will interface with it.

Regards,

Robert

Subject: [blindkid] Chrome books & braille displays

Our school is starting to deploy Chromebooks more and more in the classroom.
I'm trying to find out if they support use with a braille display
(specifically Humanware Brailliant)

 It does have a built in screen reader but the info I'm finding on line is
that it doesn't support a braille display.  Can anyone confirm/refute that?
 I've heard things through the NFB grapevine about issues with Google
products and accessibility but I'm unsure of the details.

So far it seems Hank has been managing it's use visually but it's still a
bit of a novelty and managing isn't necessarily the same as appropriate.

Thanks!
Holly
