The text can be spelled out letter by letter. The braille display can then
be set to display in contracted braille, or at least, some of them can.
HTH.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games
Hi Che,
I think you can acomplish this by simply creating a text area on your
Windows form and placing text into it. Then the Jaws or Window Eyes user
could review the text with his/her braille display. I assume then here
with you not being a braille user yourself you would aim for grade one
braille support. That is Everything would be spelled out letter for
letter, word for word, without any braille contractions. If you want
contractions then one of us would have to translate the words into grade 2
contracted braille. For example King of Hearts would look like K+ ( He>ts
in grade 2 braille.

Hi all,
I am almost done with my online card games hearts and hold em poker.
I am wanting to include braille output for those dependant on braille
displays.
Both games can currently use jaws as the speech engine as well as sapi,
so it seems it wouldn't be too hard to convert the output to work with
braille.
I cannot read braille myself, but if anyone is on list that can either
test the games with a braille display or let me know where I can get more
info on making jaws play nice with braille displays, I'd really
appreciate it.
And before anyone says it isn't worth the time due to the few folks
playing games with braille, sometimes you just got to do the right thing
and put yourself in another persons shoes. I know if I were deaf and
blind, I would very much appreciate having access to entertainment like
this. If it helps only one person take their mind off their troubles for
a little hwile, it is well worth it.
Thanks for any help,
Che
