HiKen, That makes sense. That also is much easier than translating grade 1 into grade 2 which many new braille users might not know.

Re: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games
Would it not be possible for the user to assign dictionary entries into their screenreader so they could have it reed the cards in whatever fashion they want? It looks like the games may be ready to go as is with some combinations of screenreaders and braille displays, as I have kept everything fairly standard in hopes of allowing as many people as possible to use their own screenreaders instead of sapi.

Re: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games
Hi. I have two different braille displays I can test with. I'll be happy to try it out. I'm deaf blind, but I have enough hearing to play audio games and to not use braille but rather speech primarily. that said, I do know what being deaf blind is like and I'd be glad to try it out to see how things worked. - Original Message - From: Che To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 12:49 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games Hi all, I am almost done with my online card games hearts and hold em poker. I am wanting to include braille output for those dependant on braille displays. Both games can currently use jaws as the speech engine as well as sapi, so it seems it wouldn't be too hard to convert the output to work with braille. I cannot read braille myself, but if anyone is on list that can either test the games with a braille display or let me know where I can get more info on making jaws play nice with braille displays, I'd really appreciate it. And before anyone says it isn't worth the time due to the few folks playing games with braille, sometimes you just got to do the right thing and put yourself in another persons shoes. I know if I were deaf and blind, I would very much appreciate having access to entertainment like this. If it helps only one person take their mind off their troubles for a little hwile, it is well worth it.
