Hello, Just curious, why would you want to do this? Most older braille displays don't have 64-bit drivers, so your solution, if possible, would only work on 32-bit windows. If you just want to experiment, you could just as well use JAWS 10 or earlier, which don't require the driver being sign

Hi All, Thank you for your answers. I have an idea to solve this problem. I know it's quite complicated but it may work. First, I would emulate a serial port for which jaws could send the data of a known braille display which has signed jaws driver, e.g. Braille lite or powerbraille. Then I

I'm not a C programmer but from what I know this is unnecessary. If brltty can drive your display in a Windows environment (under Cygwin for example) you can put Jaws braille to sleep whenever Cygwin gains focus so brltty can freely access the display. Since Jaws uses the window title to determi
