Dear Eden and others I would be interested in this too. Like Eden, I am a Braille user of long-standing and prefer to read and write in it, and have also been using JAWS since, at least 1998. However, because of my preference for Br, I use portable Braille note-takers where at all possible, particularly since I was never encouraged to learn how to use various Braille displays. There was not enough demand for it at RSB in Adelaide.
I also tried using the BrailleNote Apox as a Braille display but had real problems connecting via bluetooth with my laptop. I find both these devices to be problematic when it comes to connecting with bluetooth, but perhaps that also has to do with how little I know about using them as terminals. One thing I would be interested in ascertaining is: if I use my ghrlSense as a terminal for JAWS, would I be able to make adjustments to the contacts or appointments in Outlook 2010 (with the Windows 7 OS), and then sync save them on my BrailleSense u2? I am probably wandering away from the JAWS realm a bit, but, again, having had no training in this field, I wouldn't know where to start, apart from making sure all the settings are right in Braille Settings for JAWS. Thanks. Michele Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eden Kizer <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, 19 December 2015 2:53 am Subject: [JAWS-Users] new to the list and some Jaws with braille sense questions > > > Hi, my name is Eden Kizer, and I've been using Jaws for years but have just > joined the list.
