I have considered that, I think it is likely, but I
haven't tested that.

Re: android vs ios.
JM Casey
I am pretty happy with Android but I don’t honestly use my phone all that much. I’ve thought of trying to connect my braille display but haven’t bothered, especially now that I have a laptop…everything I’ve heard so far suggests that it can be done but that it’s quite a painful process, and I’m not that patient. I’m not a fan of Apple as a company so I will probably never acquire one of their products (though they made my first computer in the 80s, an Apple Ii E, they were a different company then…)

Re: Spell Check Sluggish in Office 2016 and 2013
Adrian Spratt
For a JAWS repair, you need the file for the version and release that you’re running. Assuming you have it, press enter on it. After a few moments, JAWS will indicate it’s ready to perform the repair. Press enter and sit back. When the repair is done, you’ll probably have to reboot.
If you don’t have that file, you’ll need to obtain it from the FS website. Or else download the file with the latest release of the version you‘re running, install it, and then do a repair from that file.
Note. A JAWS repair always takes at least a few minutes. It can take longer. You’ll be given percentage progress reports. Occasionally, it will come to an end only to announce that the operation was unsuccessful. Typically, running the repair a second time leads to positive results.
A Microsoft Office repair is similar, except you don’t need the file. In this case, start typing “programs” into your Windows search field. Probably the first item that comes up will be “Add or remove programs.” Press enter. Press the letter m until you land on Microsoft Office. Here, instead of pressing enter, press the applications key and arrow up or down to “change.” Press enter. The “repair” option will appear and you’ll be asked to confirm. There’ll be an announcement when the repair is complete, and you’ll be told to reboot.

Barbara,
I haven’t had this experience with Word or Outlook 2016. I have noticed that in Outlook only, spell-check will seem to stop suddenly. However, if I tab once, the dialog for the next spelling suggestion appears, telling me that JAWS simply hasn’t kept up with the spell-checker.
I wonder if you’ve tried a JAWS repair. If you’re unfamiliar with this procedure, please post again. It’s easy. Actually, so is a Microsoft Office repair. I’ve done both when one or the other starts misbehaving, sometimes with good results.

Hi Everyone,
I have 2 computers one has Office 2016 and the second has Office 2013. I mostly use Word and outlook. When I use the spell check , most, but not all the time the spell check dialogue is sluggish.
I have the latest version of JAWS 2020 installed. I have windows 10 on both computers.
This occurs in both Office programs I mentioned earlier. Alt-tab away from the window and returning back does not solve anything. Sometimes if I close JAWS and launch it again, it does help. It does not seem to matter if I have other programs open as well or not. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You should be able to share it so long as the other computers are connected on the same WiFi network. You may want to use Microsoft Accessibility to help if you cannot figure it out.

Braille support on Android is nonexistent. I tried to get this display working on 3 different Android devices, and got nothing. Yet the OS claimed it was supported. Braille support on all operating systems is very badly tested, and is of a poorer quality than speech support, which is sad times, but at least it's usable on everything else except Android. So if you need portable braille, you're pretty much stuck with Apple, sadly. Android has some nice options, and I'd prefer it, but I like to read a lot, so that doesn't work.
