Hi all,
I am wondering if NVDA works with Duxbury Braille Translator? I assist an organization with embossing documents from time to time, and the current setup is a very old computer with an old version of JAWS. It sounds like a computer upgrade is going to become a necessity in the very near future, and it would be great if NVDA could be made to work with Duxbury since NVDA is free and an updated JAWS license most certainly is not.
Thanks,
Michael

Duxbury Info add-on
I am providing 3 links for you for transparency sake. The first one is from DuxburySystems.com, which has a little blurb at heading level 5, which simply states that NVDA provides Speech and Braille support for DBT.
The second link is a GitHub page that talks about issues with DBT and NVDA.
The last link is for the add-on that (I believe) addresses the issues reported in the second link.
Happy reading.
PS. Michael, I am so proud of you for considering NVDA! 😂

it should work
NVDA is a robust screenreader and it should work flawlessly.
Thanks!
Brian and Roman - Thanks for the help!
For what we are needing to do here, I think NVDA will be more than sufficient. Plus, NVDA is free. Did I mention that that was a contributing factor. ;-)
BrailleBlaster
As I recall Duxbury is also not free. If you need more free stuff, you can also check out BrailleBlaster. I don't think it is the most feature-rich program ever but if it's not overly complicated transcription you're doing, it might also fit the budget.
