moderated JAWS with more than one Braille Display
|
Life in Six Dots
Good afternoon all,
I have been wondering if it is possible to have two braille displays connected to the same computer with JAWS at the same time. Like I can with VoiceOver on macOS. Is this possible?
Many thanks, Paul

I know nothing about Macs, are you saying they both can be active at the same time? That would seem odd.
But, you can have multiple braille displays set up in Jaws and then switch displays in the Jaws Options, vraille. You probably will have to restart jaws to get the alternate display working….

Really, I have seen mention in the Voiceover Utility to pick a primary display, but if I have my Brailliant connected, it seems like I have to delete that profile before I can use a QBraille. What am I missing?

In terms of JAWS, I have configured multiple braille devices and it will find the one connected, but I have never tried to use more than one at a time. Jonathan

Hi Johathan,VoiceOver on macOS lets you use multiple braille displays. Yes the primary display controls the screen reader but the others will output the braille, which is incredibly useful for teaching. I wondered if the same can be done with JAWS?

Hi Richard,
Yes. On macOS I can have two or more displays connected at the same time. One is the primary display. The others just receive output in braille. It’s very good for teaching purposes.
I wondered if JAWS could do the same. I have done what you’ve mentioned in the past few days and have experienced the same thing. I cannot seem to find a way to make two braille displays connect at the same time, like I can on macOS. I would assume from the comments I am receiving this isn’t possible.

Hi Jonathan,
This might help explain how it works with VoiceOver on macOS: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/voiceover/vo30808/10/mac/11.0.0
