Hi, Output: yes. Input: no (cannot enter braille characters yet unless if it can be implemented by BRLTTY). Bluetooth: no luck, as people at BRLTTY say Apex uses something that they're not used to, which could hinder Bluetooth connection.
Speaking of BN and NVDA: If Sabbahattin is still here with us, I'd like to ask for following considerations from BRLTTY devs: . Support for detecting scroll wheel on the Apex. . QWERTY BN input and keyboard commands support (I know we've talked about this before). That's all. Thanks. //JL From: Alex Hall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 1:48 PM To: Joseph Lee Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Apex and NVDA: Success via USB terminal mode connection! Does this work for input as well as output? Any luck with bluetooth?

Install the BrailleNote Apex UsB driver. 2. Install BRLTTY. 3. At the end of the setup screen, BRLTTY will ask you about the braille display in use. At this point, connect the Apex to the computer via USB port, select USB client as terminal mode connection and tell BRLTTY to use BrailleNote connected through USB. At this point, when BRLTTY installation is done, Apex should display "no foreground window" (in computer braille) on the braille display. 4. From NVDA Menu, go to Preferences/Braille. 5. At the list of braille displays, select BRLTTY and click OK. The Apex should now display what NVDA says on the screen. Cheers, Joseph ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
