This is exactly how I view the use of a braille display connected to
OS X, iOS or Windows. Its fine to take one's hands off the braille
keyboard to interact directly with the connected system but in my
limited experience to date, I can do it all from my braille display.
For some of us with less than good hearing, it is in fact important
to learn to use the braille display exclusively should that hearing take
a vacation. To that end, I am developing a backup plan so hearing people
can still communicate with me thru the braille display and iPhone.

Um.. Can you explain this more?
I think you should be able to go anywhere a sighted preson can go on the
screen, etc. I also think that navigating with the display, if it has an input
keyboard, should be possible with as little interaction with the print keyboard
as possible, so that you can just have your hands on the braille display.

Hi,
Without knowing any details, i suspect that this has to do in different ways of
working with Braille. We europeans are used to a mor independent braille
cursor, so to speak. We like to work with braille as a should we call it free
entity for lack of a better word. The Americans however are used to the braille
display just echoing what the speech says and having the speech be the main way
of working with computers, am i right in this? If not, please feel free to
correct me.

Hi!
Actually i do not like the support of braille that much.
Its quite limited and sadly they seem to not understand this on the
accessibility team.

Greeting Folks! I am a brand spanking new Mac user. Just starting hfind my
way about on it. I have a Mac book Pro. Running the latest version of
Mavericks. I am using a braille edge and am finding the interface to be
somewhat messy. I should add that I am a deaf person and Cannot use speech at
all! For instance there's a line of dots at the bottom of the display which I
believe are called attributes? This is to say the least somewhat distracting.
Also though I have my BE. set to Grade two translation there is no such
though strangely enough there is with my pacMate display which doesn't look
like it will be useable in this regard. If I am wrong in that someone please
set me straight. Anyhoo, where Do I go to find braille settings and how do I
clean things up just a bit?? Also for those of you if there are any out there
who use a braille display with your Mac how do you find the experience??
Thanking you kindly in advance I am cordially yours Jack Zimmerman
