Patricia and others, This is Joseph. First, I'll take a look at Keyboard Emulator function.
System requirements: On the BrailleNote: 1. KeySoft 7.0.21 or later (KeySoft 7, build 21) 2. Connection kit: On the Classic: serial cable On the PK: serial cable, Bluetooth connection On the mPower, same as PK On the PC end: 1. Microsoft Windows 2000 or later (XP is recommended) 2. Freedom Scientific's JAWS For Windows 6.0 or later (7.0 is recommended) This is also used for synthesizer. Now the real thing: 1. There is a utilty called JAWS PC Keyboard Emulator. It can be found at the BrailleNote downloads site. Download the .zip file. 2. Unzip (extract or uncompress) the .zip file (for more information un this, refer to the archive) using either the PC or Book Reader. 3. There should be a file called braillenote.jlb. Copy the file to the folloiwng directory: C:\program files\freedom scientific\jaws\7.0 (for JAWS 7.0) Or C:\program files\freedom scientific\jaws\7.10\braille (for JAWS 7.1, correct me if I'm wrong). Procedure (both keyboard emulator and synthesizer): 1. After you copy the emulator file, exit Windows Explorer. Then turn off JAWS by pressing JAWS key+F4, then enter. 2. Connect the serial cable (recommended) to the BrailleNote. At the Main Menu, select Terminal for screen reader. 3. Restart JAWS. (for JAWS 6.0 or later, press windows+r, type jawsxx where xx is the version e.g. for JAWS 7.0, you would type: jaws7, then enter) 4. At the BrailleNote, the braille display should show the contents of the screen. At this point, press space with I for input. You are now ready to use keyboard emulation. To switch back to traditional mode, press space with i. For synthesizer: 1. There is a utilty that allows you to use BN as a synthesizer. It can be found at the BrailleNote downloads page. Download the file and unzip the file. You'll find 2 files named kgoldsa.jls and kgoldsa.jsf. 2. Copy the files to the directories mentioned above, except at 7.1 directory, substitue speech for braille. The procedure is same as above, except that you choose Remote synthesizer as opposed to terminal option. At the JAWS end, select KeyNote Gold SA or BrailleNote as a synthesizer. I hope this informaiton may help you. P.S.
