There is some more info on Braille displays and a list of supported Braille
displays on apple website Accessibility and Voiceover.
I have been using Focus 40 I purchased 4 years ago, and it's doing fine. It's a

Tried that with no luck. It saves the file as a script still not an
application. Let me restate the original question:
How does one execute an apple script without first going into the script

Hi, Braille displays are a very personal thing, much like voices and voice
settings. What feels comfortable in my hand may not be comfortable in your
hand. The shape of the cells and positioning of the keys is extremely
important. So, I suggest you feel as many displays as you can to determi
This is the solution that came to mind for me as well. I have a few Apple
scripts set up to be executed via the keyboard commander. It's a very useful
feature a lot of folks don't take advantage of.

Hi folks.
Games have always been a topic here in this group, so now I'll come
back to it :)
Have anyone out there tried any addictive time-consuming games that's
also accessible for blind players?
Is there for example a "blind friendly" Angry Birds-like game out
there that someone have tried?
Hope
No Angry Birds -- yet. I enjoy Choice of the Dragon, Aurifi, Tap the Mole, but
must say that the exceedingly time-consuming, multi-level, multi-player games
are not possible for me. Too much to do. I understand the pull, though.

Hi,
I download Bookshare books in BRF. I use an app called the Unarchiver. It works
great. You just have to type in your password when unzipping, and it'll do it
for you. I've never downloaded a book in Daisy, but I don't see why this pp

Scaning is an area that in my very humble opinion is not well addressed on the

I used to play chess ages ago, and see it on my mac. How do you go about
selecting a piece, and moving it? And, any other info would be cool! I like
playing games, and I have messages about more, but I'll get into those
later. Thanks.

Use VO-keys (control-option)-spacebar to select a piece and the same key
combination to drop the piece on the intended square.
If you have an iOS device and enjoy chess, checkout CHess-Wise and/or Shredder

Hi Yuma,
I don't have an answer as such for your question. However I might
suggest that if you are not using fullscreen terminal apps you may find
that shell mode in emacs using emacspeak is much more accessible.
you can use incremental search to move back through the output to find

Hi T,
Sure, you will love it the day the Mac will hit your doorstep. VO has a way to
show that the word is in all caps. You have many ways to know when a letter is
in caps, either by the raising of the pitch or a tone. Even deleting words, it
will tell you in a low pitch that is unmistakable.
Hi,
You don't yet; it's not out of beta.

Hi Priscilla,
The Mac software isn't out just yet. They said on the Podcast that it will be

I believe that vo and the arrow keys will do at least part of what you want. I

with the shell text area for this to work, of course. Beyond that, it depends
on how large of an output you're dealing with. I love p
