It usually isn't hard to set up, and you shouldn't need help at your end. I don't know much about the Braille Note, but it appears to support a serial interface. This means you will need a serial cable to connect it to the computer. > > Can I use BRLTTY for the following? > > reading and writing email; > irc; > browsing the net; > programming; > reading compile errors; > writing text files; > listening to music; > update my website through ftp; > install software; Yes, of course. > > Also does BRLTTY work with thunderbird or is Thunderbird a GUI app? Yes to both. To work with it you'll need Orca, a screen reader for GUI software. However, you could also try Alpine, Mutt and other e-mail applications that don't use a GUI, and which are more flexible. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
