Re: [BRLTTY] BRL TTY input method On android

Hi, I don’t think you can, unless you have a braille display with a dedicated braille keyboard that uses another protocol than the standard keyboard protocol. Don’t know how other hardware keyboards handle typing in Arabic, but if other hardware keyboards work whereas the Mantis doesn’t, I’d

Re: [BRLTTY] BRL TTY input method On android

Hi, You shouldn’t need the brltty input method for the Mantis, since it behaves as a regular keyboard, you can keep your input set to gboard, or whatever keyboard you use. With kind regards, Henk. Van: BRLTTY Namens Mariam Mohsen Verzonden: dinsdag 21 december 2021 20:17 Aan:

Hi, Don’t know about BlueTooth, but with USB there are three different drivers that can be connected to the display. NVDA and narrator use different versions of libusb, so I can use either NVDA or narrator with my focus display but not both. So when I want to use braille with narrator,

Hello Dave, This one works, in that it no longer crashes but reports "access not granted" when I try to connect the Mantis. The same now happens on an Android 10 device, where I observe the following: - when I connect the Mantis, the USB notification asks to which app I want to connect the USB

This new version crashes as soon as I try to enable it. This is even before attempting to assign a braille display. I haven't checked the logs yet. It's getting late over here. I'll generate a bug report and do a quick check of the logs before going to sleep.. With kind regards, Henk.
