ALVA Braille Terminal Three (ABT3) users must ensure that the firmware is dated January 1, 1997 or
later in order that Window-Eyes can properly communicate with the hardware. After powering on the
Braille display, observe the last group of characters on the right for the firmware date. The format of
the date is DDMMYY, for day, month and year, respectively. If you have an earlier firmware date, you
should contact your authorized ALVA dealer to arrange an upgrade. ALVA Satellite, Delphi and Series
Two users do not need to be concerned with the firmware date of the hardware. Consult the
documentation that accompanies your Braille display for details on how to configure your Braille
display for use with a serial, parallel or USB connection. For additional assistance, contact your
authorized ALVA dealer.
Braille Lite
Window-Eyes includes factory default Braille keys (defined by Myrna Votta) for the following displays:
· Braille Lite 18
· Braille Lite 40, M20 and M40
The guidelines for defining the keys of the Braille Lite, were based on the reasons for using a Braille
display along with speech. Not only do we want to feel what we hear so that we can obtain the
information in greater detail, but we don't want to constantly shift our hands between the Braille display
and the PC keyboard. Fortunately, the Braille Lite is one of the displays which contains many keys
which can be configured in numerous combinations. Therefore, this affords us the opportunity to
emulate PC keystrokes which move the cursor, the focus, the mouse, and to execute Window-Eyes
hot keys without taking our hands from the Braille display. We also are able to review the Window
without moving either the focus or the mouse, just as we do with the WE cursor.
To make it easier to learn the Braille display functions keep in mind that pressing left hand key
combinations, with or without the spacebar, will cause the cursor, focus, display, or the mouse to move
either to the left, or top. Conversely, pressing right hand key combinations will cause movement either
to the right or to the bottom. Many of the key combinations should be familiar because the commands
they invoke are very similar to those used when editing Braille Lite files. For example, the E chord is
defined as the enter key and the B chord is defined as the backspace key.
Humanware
Window-Eyes includes factory default Braille keys (defined by Humanware Inc.) for the following
displays:
· Braille Window/CombiBraille
· BrailleNote (without Keyboard Input)
· BrailleNote (with Keyboard Input)
· Brailliant 24/40/32/64/80
Each Braille display provides to its owner a distinct and unique means of accessing a graphically user
interface tactually and efficiently.
The Braille Window - The Braille Window 45 and 85 cell models provide to the end user a stable,
durable, and reliable option which takes advantage of six programmable Perkins style keys and 5 front
panel thumb keys which have been assigned to a default layout of functions in the Window-Eyes
application. Window-Eyes users may wish to alter these functions in the Hot-Keys dialog of the Braille
menu in the Window-Eyes application.
The BrailleNote - This device can be utilized as a portable, refreshable Braille display, and ships with
either an 18 or a 32 cell Braille line. Once again, a nine-key Braille keyboard coupled with 4 frontpanel
thumb-keys enable the user to utilize the BrailleNote's mnemonic command structure to
navigate the Braille display effortlessly through a graphical environment.
The Brailliant - When using the Brailliant with bluetooth, you will need to specify the virtual COM port
being used in the Select Braille Display dialog.
Feel free to contact HumanWare technical support if you require assistance setting up or using any of
these three displays when using Window-Eyes. HumanWare technical support can be reached by email
