Greetings everyone. In anticipation for the soon to be released version nine.
I have taken possession, for trial purposes, of the Alva 640 Comfort braille display. I am hopeful that AI Squared and Optelec will improve the Window-Eyes interface. Direct braille input seems problematic. For example: space-U is often used to toggle between upper and lower case. Window-eyes often says num lock (on or off) as a toggle. When attempting to define hot keys, there are instances where Window-"eyes says "that is not a braille key" when trying to capture a key. Also with hot keys: there is reference to the smart pad - which is an Alva legacy from previous models. I acknowledge that AI Squared relies on manufacturers to update their information and driver software, but I hope that such updating is occurring. I have the braille device set as Optelec Alva bc640 (new v3.10) and my guess is that it is probably correct. I'd still appreciate other peoples' experiences with this display.
