I tried with Focus40 blue and Pac mate braille display. Cobra is an
interesting screen-reader. Maybe a bit difficult to learn to use, is my
impression. But the way JAWS is set up, it appears to me that it just
can't use any two displays simultaneously. (this despite the ease with
which you can 'add' another display. that means nothing much, until you
change the default display in the event of having to remove your first
one.

Thanx!
Did you use two focus displays?
Just curious.
Heard from another list that Baum's Cobra can actually do this.

That is correct. JAWS will only output through one display at a time. (I
have tried connected with two, but JAWS works only with one, however.) A
somewhat less elegant solution would be to use the other display with
NVDA.
Both screen-readers which support the focus40 can run at the same time.

I believe JAWS will output to only one display at a time.
I have never tried it though.

True but I wonder if text will then be displayed on both displays?
These are both focus 40 blue displays.

Content preview: if the displays are usb conpatible or can be conected
via
usb then you could plug in 2 of them to a laptop that has more then
one

Subject: [JAWS-Users] connecting two braille displays to a computer
Hi all
Here's an interesting question for those of you who are more tech savvy
than
I am!
Is it possible to connect two braille displays to a computer?
Let me explain the situation I will be working with so you will
understand
what I mean.
From 13 to 20 August I will be training a completely deaf and blind
lady in
Ghana in the use of computer technology. Both of us will bee using
focus 40
blue displays with Jaws 13.
I was just wondering if there could be a technical way for the two of us
to
communicate sometimes by using the two braille displays. Of course we
could
simply take turns in reading the one display, but I've been wondering if
there is a more elegant way to do this?
Andre
