I don't use a Focus, so can't specifically advise. Here's some relevant information from the Focus overview topic in Jaws Help, etc. If there is extra driver file needed, it should be somewhere on the freedomscientific.com site since Focus is an FS product. Braille Keyboard Between the braille cells and the front of each unit, under a removable plastic cover, there are eight keys similar to those on a Perkins style Braille keyboard. These keys are used to enter commands. Along the front edge of the keyboard are three buttons, LEFT SHIFT, SPACEBAR, and RIGHT SHIFT. These three buttons are used together with the Braille keys when entering commands.
Typing Mode When Typing Mode is enabled, all dot patterns that you type using the keyboard on your Focus Braille display are translated into ASCII characters. This allows you to type alphanumeric characters using your Braille display's keyboard instead of your computer's keyboard. While Typing Mode is enabled, any commands associated with the dot patterns you type are not performed. For example, pressing DOTS 1-2-4-5 while Typing Mode is enabled allows you to type a "g" rather than turning Grade 2 Braille on or off. To turn typing mode on or off, press CTRL+INSERT+B to open the Adjust Braille Options dialog box, select "Typing Mode," and press the SPACEBAR. You can also press LEFT SHIFT+RIGHT SHIFT CHORD. ----- Original Message ----- From: "sunset" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 9:07 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Seeking Tips for Using JAWS with a Braille Display We were talking about the focus.
