Hi, Well I can tell you, window-eyes supports around, or maybe just
over, 50 displays. That's counting the intire brailliant line and the
entire braille connect line as one display each, and the same with the
vareo lines and a few of the others. It sounds like you might be
reading a lot of braille, and you probably won't need portability or
braille input as much as the ability to read a lot of braille very
fast and jump right to a mistake for editting. All of the 80 sell
displays, focus 84, Brailliant, handytech evolution, Handytech braille
star, and any of the 80 sell alva displays should meet that
requirement. It's mostly a matter of getting a look at them and
finding out what you like best.
As far as compadibility goes, these should all be compadible with
either jaws or window-eyes, although the key combinations to do
computer chores may be different for each screen reader and some
functions that are available in one screen reader may not be available
in another. If you plan to use both, then you need to count on
doubling your learning curve, even though it won't be nearly that bad.

not sure all that a Braille displays do.

Subject: Re: Braille displays
Hi, I work with braille displays here, Primarily the braille
connect line, the focus line and the braille sense plus. I haven't
had a chance to try the combination of focus and window-eyes
although it does work.
Personally, although the focus is rugged, fast and somewhat
portable, I'm a particular detracter of it's control surface, and I
would rather it had bluetooth. If you're going to be using window-
eyes, and you have the 6 G's to spend on a braille display, you
should really take a long look at the braille sense plus. The one
drawback would be if 32 sells isn't enough for you, in which case,
you might seriously consider the brailliant and braille connect
lines. Both of these options are just as rugged as the focus, more
portable and functional, and I think cheeper, let me check. No, the
focus 40 is cheeper than the braille connect 40, and much cheeper
than the braille sense plus, although the bs+ is primarily a note
taker and not really in a class with the focus. The focus 80 is
more expensive than the larger brailliant displays.
Of course, there's always the possibility that you really like the
focus and how it works, and you don't care that it has no braille
input or bluetooth, and that it's biggish for a 40 sell display, in
which case, you'll probably be highly satisfied with it and how it
works with WE.

Can anyone tell me does WE work with the focus Braille display.
Does anyone on this list use a Braille display?
