Hmmm, I wonder if there's a method to speak something without brailling it? That could solve the problem.

Subject: RE: Braille Display Question with Speak


Hi J.J.,

I too have the same issue; I've been writing a large application, and
unfortunately haven't considered the needs of braille users. in particular, I've been formatting badly pronounced strings so that speech would pronounce
them better.  I haven't been giving any attention to how a braille user
would feel about the changes I'm making to the text.

have other scripters tackled this issue?  is the only thing to do to make
use of exception dictionaries but nothing else, or have others done anything
more elaborate?

my reformatting of strings is often only possible because I know the context of the meaning of the string at the time it's generated; processing it later on, say with an exception dictionary, would not yield anything like as good
results.

thanks for any ideas.

Chip

Subject: Braille Display Question with Speak

Have a seemingly obvious question, but I don't have a braille display so am not sure. If I want a message to go on the braille display as well as speak, do I need to use speak as well as braille.display with the appropriate check
for a braille display or will speak also braille the message by default?

Or is there a way to do both at once, short of message boxes and dialogs?
Thanks.
