Richard, I have not seen any current JAWS scripts for Team Viewer.

If someone is going to control your computer you really don’t n needs scripts for JAWS but, if you are intending to control another users computer, I don’t know how accessible Team Viewer will be for you.

Milton

I need to use Teamviewer to get help on a braille display from the company.

Are there scripts for the latest Teamviewer and Jaws 2020?

The Doug Lee scripts don’t think I have any compatible Jaws, but then again, those scripts are from 2015.

Any help would be appreciated.

Press space+v to get the version number.
It should be:
1.1 Build 20170307

I believe that is the last update.
If you don’t have it, I put it on my web site because HIMS is so
completely incompetent that they have never gotten it onto their web
site.
I won’t go further into that or I might have to use some explitives.
Below is a link to the zip file directly.

http://www.turner42.com/BrailleEdge40-1.1Build20170307.zip
This latest release for the Braille EDGE 40 contains the following
new features and enhancements:

Expanded UEB Support,
Test Mode (for testing braille cells), Exam Mode, Typing Mode, and
enhanced JAWS support.
Expanded UEB Support

The Braille EDGE 40 already supported the use of UEB in the Notepad
application. Now UEB can also be used in the Braille EDGE 40 menus
and prompts.
1. Go to the Options Menu on the Braille EDGE 40.
2. Scroll to "Braille for Message" or press the letter "G".
3. There are five options: US Uncontracted Braille, US Contracted
Braille, UEB Uncontracted Braille, UEB Contracted Braille, and Computer Braille.
Press "SPACEBAR" to cycle through the options and press "ENTER" to save.
To change the default grade of Braille used in the Notepad:
1. Go to the Options Menu on the Braille EDGE 40.
2. Scroll to "Braille For Notepad Grade" or press the letter N.
3. There are five options: US Uncontracted Braille, US Contracted
Braille, UEB Uncontracted Braille, UEB Contracted Braille, and Computer Braille.
Press "SPACEBAR" to cycle through the options and press "ENTER" to
change.
Test Mode
This feature is useful when testing Braille cells for weak dots.
1. To enter Test Mode, press "SPACE+BACKSPACE+ENTER+T" from anywhere
in the Braille EDGE 40 Program Menu.
2. Individual pins will move up and down on the display starting with
dot1 in cell 1, moving to DOT2 in CELL1, etc.
3. Press "SPACE" to pause or resume Test Mode.
4. While paused, pressing the cursor router above any cell will cause
all pins in that cell to be displayed.
5. Also while paused, press any individual dot or function key on the
Braille EDGE 40 and see its corresponding function.
6. Press "SPACE+Z" to exit Test Mode.
Typing Mode
Typing Mode has been available on the Braille Sense for many years.
Now this function comes to the Notepad on the Braille EDGE 40. While
in Typing Mode, pressing "SPACE" with any character on the keyboard
enters that character followed by a space into the document. This
mode can keep you from accidentally moving to a different part of the
document by pressing"SPACE" plus any characters that are navigation
commands. Typing Mode is especially useful for fast typists.
Typing Mode is a toggle. To enable Typing Mode from within a
document, press "F4+K". The same key combination will exit Typing Mode.
Enhanced JAWS Support
Function keys on the Braille EDGE 40 should produce the same results
as their QWERTY keyboard equivalents: Escape, Tab, Control, Alt,
Insert, Shift, Windows and Applications.
Exam Mode
Exam Mode locks the Braille EDGE 40 in terminal mode, so that it may
be used as a Braille display for a student using a computer designed
to facilitate standardized testing. Exam Mode requires that a
password be entered so that the function cannot be exited without
entering the same password. The computer must contain a screen reader
compatible with HIMS Braille displays for Braille input and output to be possible.
Terminal Mode is the mode in which the notetaker serves as a Braille
Terminal (Braille display) for a screen reader. The screen reader
outputs the screen information in Braille to the device, and
translates keystrokes from the Braille keyboard into text and
commands the computer can understand. This Braille access provides a
truly accessible testing environment for the student.
We have left specific instructions out of this release note and the
Braille EDGE 40 user manual in an attempt to keep it out of the hands
of students. Please email HIMS at info@hims-inc.comfor instructions
for using Exam Mode.

Hi. A free version of Dictation Bridge is also available for JAWS.

Hartgen Consultancy has two solutions for using JAWS with Dragon. J-Dictate is for people who want to use Dragon for dictation into programs such as Word, Outlook, etc., who are comfortable or able to use their computer keyboard.

J-Say not only allows for voice dictation but it allows a user to completely control their computer with all commands, both for Windows as well as for JAWS. The programs from Hartgen Consultancy are specific to JAWS whereas Dictation Bridge has a separate addon for NVDA.

Trouble with FamilySearch is that their search algorithm is rubbish.  If I search for someone and put their birth place as London, it gives me results from the USA.

 

All the best

I’ve been using FamilySearch.org for a couple of years and can do fairly well with it.  Parts of the site disappear from time to time especially on Sunday afternoons when it is heavily used.  Also uses colors, images, and some unlabeled buttons and links.  It is pretty easy to use once you learn to watch for the problems and can work around most of them.

 

One thing I learned is to keep the window maximized at all times.  Rather than srinking character sizes they drop some items from the menus in order to keep the same text size.  At least that is the way it appears to me.

 

 

I will try the other site some more to see why I had a different experience.

 

Thanks

I've given you the WikiTree.com site.

 

Another accessible source is the Mormon's FamilySearch Engine.

 
https://www.familysearch.org/en/

 

There is no need to register. You get basic information when you enter first & last names, birth & death locations and year (a range).

 

You should get a page with the title:

  Historical documents we found for xx — FamilySearch.org

 

Navigate to the heading:

  Top people we found for xx in the shared Family Tree

 

For each record found will be listed the information asked for and perhaps the spouse and parents.

 

If you toggle for more information on that individual, you will need to create a Familysearch account or sign in (no charge).

 

Researching distant family relations is a way to fill in my stay at home time.

Press space+v to get the version number.

It should be:

1.1 Build 20170307

Is the Braill Edge using the latest firmware update from HIMS?

You will have to check that with the HIMS website and find out how to find the version number of the Braille Edge firmware.

Yes, I'm connecting USB, and yes, I set the display in jaws.

Are you connecting by blutooth or USB?

I assume you set the Braille display in JAWS for the Braille Edge.

Good afternoon folks.

I ran into another issue today, a friends computer, windows 10, latest jaws 2020, but, the braille edge won't connect.

I did a reinstall of jaws,

restarted the machine, but the edge stays in terminal mode.

when I connect or disconnect the device, I do hear a tone to tell me that the device is connected or disconnected.
