you need to set up a Bluetooth pairing between the Mac and braillenote using
active sync as the service. then in the voiceover utility, go to Braille and
add a display. make sure the brailleNote is in terminal mode and the Mac
should see it. just follow the adding instructions, and you should be good
to go.

Hi,
A clarification for Tim: USB connectivity will not work with mPower
(sorry);
under apex, you can work with USB but a critical driver is missing - the
mac
port of the Apex USB terminal driver.
Cheers,
Joseph

that was a mistake on Alex's part, normal bluetooth does work for pairing
with a standard Mac computer.

The MPower can do pairing with a standard mac via blueTooth, you're
thinking
of the IPhone/ITouch/IPad when you say only apex can do pairing for
displays.

Well, if you have an Apex, you can do all this via bluetooth,
otherwise you must use a usb connection unless you buy another
display. I hear that you can mute speech in the settings, but have
no
exact steps for this. Google it; that should clear things up. In any
case, you need an Apex to do bluetooth, otherwise you will be stuck
on
usb.

would not mind speech but for the part that I Am a broadcaster.
And
I
don't want two sound carrds either.

Hi,
I'd say for tactile access, like you are using JAWS with the BN as
the
display.

ok, just one question. Someone posted that you can't aliminate vo,
then why have a display at all if vo will still be chattering
away?

Hi,
You need the newer guy if you want to use UsB client. I'm not
sure
if
there
is a UsB driver for Mac yet.
As for Bluetoth, you need to turn on Bluetooth on that computer,
find
your
coputer on your BN and activate ActiveSync once pairing is done.
Then
you
need to go to Voiceover and add BrailleNote as the display.
Like I said, there are others who knows better than I do, so I'll
forward
your query to that other list.
Cheers,
Joseph

You can use a braille note however, it may have to be a newer
one
like
the
new one that came out. Yes snowlepard does support braille.

Subject: [Braille note] braille note on an I-mac
Listers, I am planning on getting an i-mac and I would like to
be
able
to eliminate VOICE OVER witch is the default screen reader on a
mack
and instead use my braille note empower as a braille display.
Trouble
is, I haven't an idea on how to do it. I know you sink the two
devices
but how do you do it, and how do you make sure it works
properly?
Thanks.
