Re: [BRLTTY] testing display
You need to know what 'com' port the Alva is connected to, and that can change depending on what USB port your USB adapter is plugged into. You can tap the windows key and type 'device manager' then open the device manager and find the 'Com And LPT ports'. This can show you what you have. For serial connections, you can use the mode command to check if the 'com' port is alive. Open a command prompt with Windows-r or however you wish, then: mode com4:9600 If it says com4 is an illegal device name, then you know that port isn't working. After you know the port is working, try installing BRLTTY.

BRLTTY shows up in the Braille choices in NVDA, but I get an error (could not load the BRLTTY display) when I choose it. Someone else will need to help you with this one as I don't use Windows, so also not NVDA. Perhasp you could ask the NVDA people to let you know what this error means and possible ways to resolve it. For example, perhaps they're trying to start brltty in an older way which we no longer support. Also, maybe there's a way that you can capture an NVDA debug log which contains more details. I'm wondering if there is a way to tell if it's actually running and if it's ready for the next steps to make it work? You could try the Windows command (without the quotes) "sc query brlapi". It's output should contain a line that starts with the word "state", which should be "running". Another Windows command you might try (the quotes are required) is: tasklist -fi "imagename eq brltty.exe" ___ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.

Re: [BRLTTY] Using BRLTTY with touch screen input?
The subject of this message talks about touch screen input. Most Braille displays have keys you can press to input Braille characters. I'm not sure Linux supports touch screen input on the console. You probably need to have a GUI running, such as Mate desktop, along with if you want to get touch gestures like Android does. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. If you have an Android phone and a Braille display you could try using BRLTTY on that to see how it works. The Linux on phone support is mostly at a phase where it is useful only to developers at this point because a lot of the Linux support is in an Alpha state for any given hardware. I think Ubuntu Touch now has full support for a Pixel 3a, hopefully a lot more devices will follow.

Anyway, here goes... Background I'm a sighted, semi-retired, volunteer developer who is very interested in the possibility of re-purposing Android cell phones as blind-accessible computing and communication devices. There are a number of projects working on re-using the billions of aging cell phones that are out there. Some, such as LineageOS, start with an open source version of Android. Others, such as postmarketOS and Mobian, start with a more vanilla flavor of Linux (e.g., Alpine, Debian). Although the first approach makes tons of Android software available, most of this is GUI-based, so accessibility will generally be a challenge. Basing the system on Linux allows a wealth of CLI-based software to be used and helps to anchor the resulting system more closely in the open source community. Challenges One of the biggest challenges, I suspect, will be providing an accessible form of text input. Most screen-based keyboards for cell phones aren't suitable, a physical keyboard would add cost and bulk, and voice recognition (without the support of cloud computing) still seems to be beyond the phone's capabilities. So, I've been speculating about how to support Braille Screen Input (BSI) on a Linux-based cell phone. BSI is available on Android, Fire OS, and iOS (please let me know if I'm missing any others!), but I haven't found any indication that anyone is working on supporting it for any form of Linux. I think I have a handle on how to architect the front end of the code, using a set of Actors (lightweight processes) running on a foundation of Elixir, Erlang, and OTP. However, I'm totally out of my depth when it comes to interfacing the code to other apps, the window system, and the rest of the OS. Should I be looking into D-Bus, GTK, Qt, or what? Also, are there any ways the code could leverage BRLTTY, Emacspeak, Orca, etc? How would typical blind users want a BSI subsystem to act in this context? I'm really confused here, so I'm asking for advice, comments, and so forth. -r P.S. There is at least one physical keyboard which isn't totally out of the question for use with a cell phone.

Search for brltty.exe and see if it was installed. There is also a file called run-debug.bat which should produce a log file. I suspect that the 6.0 release doesn't work on Windows 10, but somebody may have better results.

We are using a serial-to-usb converter cable from the same brand that's worked for a user on the NVDA forums. However, despite installing BRLTTY twice, i guess the path didn't get set, as her Windows returns the error message "is not recognized as an internal or external command" when she tries to use the command prompt to run the program. I cannot find any troubleshooting information for this stage of the process, can anyone suggest a next step? Thank you, Oriana ___ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
