Subject: a Braille display may have a feature, but the screen reader has to 
support it as well.

Hi all:

I’ve been reading different questions and responses regarding Braille displays 
and as an instructor, I would like to clarify something.  A Braille display can 
have a feature, but that feature may not be supported by all screen readers.  I 
recall someone asking which Braille display can pan or scroll automatically.  
My response is many can, but not with all screen readers.  I myself have the 
Focus 40 fifth generation.  I can auto pan Braille while I’m using it with JAWS 
and Windows, because the Focus has the feature and JAWS supports it.  However, 
I do not believe VoiceOver for iOS currently supports it so at this time, the 
Focus can not auto pan while using the iPhone.  If someone has a Braille 
display that can auto pan or scroll while using VoiceOver, I would love to know 
about it.

I often say, if you have the best sound card, but match box sounding speakers, 
its still going to sound like a matchbox.  If you have a terrible sound card, 
and the best sounding speakers its still not going to sound good.  In other 
words, you need both to support each other.
