Wow. How do you use it on Windows, with eSpeak? eSpeak doesn’t support voice-lock. Or do you not use Emacspeak with it? > On Apr 7, 2018, at 9:31 AM, 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Emacs remains my preferred text editor, but I mostly use it under Linux or > Microsoft Windows. >

The main thing I miss on Mac that is in NVDA's braille support on Windows is formatting information being shown. This includes italicized or bolded text in HTML documents. I haven't been able to try Chrome's braille support, so I don't know if it supports the showing of formatting information,

As it states on the Facebook accessibility site, nothing needs to be done. Just press the key, and it'll work. Currently, you have to be in "group navigation mode" for voiceover to speak when moving from status to status in Facebook, in the newsfeed, but besides that everything works fine. Sent
