Dear Dave, I understand your answer. It's also where I arrived after multiple tries. Now, I am using xw driver but it doesn't show anything. I only saw something when using BRLTTY in the debug mode and run it as administrator but it's not manageable. It seems that the Brl API has not the rights to work properly but I don't know how to provide those rights. This is a change due to Windows 7 where you cannot access to C:/Program Files without "admin" rights. I am working as a volunteer for a non-profit French Association trying to give access to scientific documents to Visually Impaired students. We have selected Infty products and adapted French tables. Chatty Infty (CI) is now providing a very good speech to all mix of text and mathematical formulas. But it is still necessary to have a Braille follow-up. That why I have no Braille device and I thought using BRLTTY which can interface plenty of those devices. But I thought that the xw driver could emulate those devices and give me enough flexibility to test BRLTTY-CI interface. If you have any idea of what to do to obtain the xw under Windows 7. With best regards Denis

That won't do what you might be expecting. Do you have an actual braille device? If so, then you need to select the driver for it. If not, then you should probably select the xw driver, which will open a window with a virtual graphical braille display in it. >The BrlAPI service is running but nothing is visible on my screen. Using the xw driver should do what I think you're wanting to do. >Is there any checklist to know all the parameters I need to make it >working ? No, because the defaults usually do the right thing. In your case - not having an actual braille device - try using the xw driver. >How the "brltty.conf" file is taken into account by Brl API ? The BrlAPI server (within brltty) uses it, but the BrlAPI client library does not. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
