Hi Andrew, thanks for the message. Unfortunately those were too vague for me. I was specifically asking how JAWS and Braille works with the applications I asked about. I know how JAWS with speech works with them (the majority of them work very well with speech), but since I haven't had a Braille display before I was wondering what feedback, if any, I get with either Braille and speech or Braille alone. Thanks though for the help, it was greatly appreciated.
