HumanWare and Hims appear to be the companies that are consistently having the most problems with their braille displays and Apple products. Both Hims and HumanWare are running their displays from Windows CE V6.x, an OS platform that is now three years out of date and no longer being supported by Microsoft. In other words, out of date platforms are being used to try and support more up-to-date bluetooth driver stacks - a recipe for eventual complications; especially when one considers the fact that this OS was initially used for its built-in driver stacks. The problem for Hims and HumanWare is that MS does not allow any accessibility hook / plug-ins for Windows Mobile platforms after Windows CE V6.x. > > > David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA > Email: [email protected] > Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 > Sent from my iPhone > > On 16/09/2012, at 10:03, Annie Skov Nielsen <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Scot. >> The display I have problems with is my great brailiant 32 cells.
