Assuming that you have a newer model of the Braille Pen, it emulates the Alva EL12's protocol so it's most likely being handled by brltty's Alva driver. Older Braille Pen models emualte the Voyager protocol. Doing what you did - letting brltty autodetect it - is the best way. >Will try to google the commands and see what I can find. The commands are documented on brltty's web site. Go to brltty.app and click on Documenation, then on Key Binding Lists, and then on Braille Device Bindings. Now you have two choices - you can either click on Alva and then on Voyager Protocol Converter or on Voyager and then on Braille Pen 12. You mentioned not wanting to have TalkBack speaking: There's an unfortunate bit of historical Android accessibility design that I don't think has been "fixed" yet. Brltty uses an Android feature known as Accessibility Focus. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't run as an entirely separate component. It's buried within Explore By Touch, which, in turn, is buried within TalkBack. So, for now, the most you can probably do is tell TalkBack to not talk. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
