In October, we celebrate National braille week, so naturally, this month’s Webinar Wednesday has a braille theme.
We’re thrilled to welcome back Matthew Horspool, a long-time friend of Sight and Sound Technology. Matthew wears many hats—he’s the Code Maintenance Officer for the International Council on English Braille (ICEB) and General Manager at the Braillists Foundation.
Matthew will be talking us through a relatively new and powerful feature in JAWS called split braille. Split Braille allows your braille display to show content from two different locations or views at the same time, by splitting the display into two regions. For example, you can read the main document text on one side and see attributes like bold or italics, comments, or speech history on the other. This helps you review more information at once without switching views. While split Braille works on any size braille display, it is most useful on larger displays, where splitting the braille line would still afford ample space for accessing information.
Please register here to attend what will undoubtedly be a hugely informative and worthwhile session.
