If memory serves, before I took JAWS off my system sometime back,
I was able to use the SyncBraille with that screen reader. I'm
thinking there were some drivers on the C D that came with the
SycBraille that I installed on my Windows Vista machine.
Although, when I had a system crash awhile back and had to
reinstall things, I just let Windows go out on the internet and
it found me a driver from somewhere; but, I only now have the
SyncBraille working with Window-Eyes, as I no longer have even a
demo of JAWS on my machine. I'm thinking it was JAWS 9 or 10
that I used when setting up the SyncBraille. And, if we were
talking about JAWS 11 or a 64 BIT system, or maybe even Windows
7, then I wouldn't presume to speak about JAWS working with the
SyncBraille.

Hello Diane,
Well here is another matter I have tried to address with both
Freedom
scientific, and GW. To answer your question, "No" you cannot use
the Sync
Braille with JAWS! You would need the drivers given to Freedom or
given to
you and you know how to install them using script within JAWS. I
do not know
all the process to get you these drivers but when I called
Freedom, they
said they could do it if they had the drivers to support the sync
Braille
from the manufacturer, and when I called GW to get this driver
they did not
really have a method to do so. I know there has to be a way for
them to get
you the driver since the sync Braille will work with Window eyes.
If the
driver is found in window eyes then it has to be accessible for
them to get
to us to use with the screen reader of our choice. After all we
already
bought their product in the sync Braille why not let us use it
where and
with what we choose? Sorry, I hope this helps.

Hi, Everyone!
For those of you who use a Sync Braille, can it be used with
Jaws?
I have bought my Voice Sense back in December, and use it with
much
pleasure. smile. I plan to buy a Sync Braille display (20
cell), some time
this year. I use Jaws on my little NetBook computer, and would
like to use
the braille display with it from time to time. I will primarily
be using the
display with my Voice Sense, but I do like to check things I'm
hearing on
the computer at times. It would help me to understand what is on
the screen,
and how it is arranged.
If you can use it, how did you get it to work? What needs to be
done to make
it work? Do I need to download something from Freedom to make it
work?
Thanks for any help with this.
