This is an excellent idea. Now, I'm wondering, will the driver work in Vista? Curious. Because, Window-Eyes is currently light years ahead of the competition when it comes to Vista.

Presently, there are only two choices: (1) BrailleNote and (2) BrailleNote with keyboard input. The "keyboard input" is designed for the BT keyboard. I'd like to see a third choice: BrailleNote with QWERTY input. I have spoken with Tech Support for both HumanWare and GW Micro. GW Micro said the reason why we can't create hot keys using all of the keys on the QWERTY keyboard is the driver "passes" the key as a PC keyboard key instead of a BrailleNote key. If you try to create a hot key using, say, the letter b, an error message will appear: "not a braille key." If others who use QT models and WE would like the hot key feature to be enhanced, please let HumanWare and GW Micro know. (The HW person I spoke with said it was a WindowEyes issue.) I think it would be neat if the QT users could use the QT keyboard on the BN to input text, don't you? I also suggested that HumanWare include a list of the hot keys for WindowEyes in its manual or as a supplement so new users could have them at their fingertips. WindowEyes users can access the lists through the control panel, but it's a nuisance to need to refer to the list box all the time. The answer to that was, "We'd have to include the hot keys for JAWS and Hal and other screen readers." Well, that wouldn't bother me any! HumanWare could even post the lists on their web site and BN users could download them. But I got the feeling it was up to the manufacturers of the screen readers to make such lists available. But, at least for WindowEyes, people from HumanWare created the hot keys so I can't see what the big deal is.
