Well, yes, but there still needs to be a driver behind a brlapi server to be able to driver the actual braille display. BrlTTY is a good choice to avoid reimplementing it, since you can at worse disable its screen reading facility. > 2.

Will BrlAPI work over a bluetooth connection? BrlAPI is independant from how the device is actually connected, that's the matter of the driver behind the BrlAPI server. > 4. Just how is BrlAPI tied into BrlTTY? Does one depend on the other? They're quite coupled as they need to interact to display braille, get keys, etc. But they don't really depend one on each other: you can disable BrlAPI at BrlTTY build time or run time, and the brlapi server and client code is in separate files, which we plan to move to a library when we get some time, to make it usable in other contexts. > I will be using Win7x64 and, hopefully, Python. Thanks in advance! Then install the python bindings for brlapi and read pydoc brlapi. Samuel _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
