Simulating QWERTY Keystrokes From Your Braille Display, Today at 7:30 PM

Most braille displays include an integrated Perkins-style keyboard which can be used to enter and edit text. But did you know you can also use your braille display’s braille keyboard to perform complex QWERTY keyboard keystrokes? Join Matthew Horspool to find out how!

We will cover:

  • Similarities and differences between JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver
  • Assigning a braille display keystroke to a QWERTY keystroke
  • Pressing and holding modifier keys
  • Numbers in conjunction with modifier keys
  • Emulating F1-F12
  • Emulating common keys such as the arrow keys, home, end, page up, page down and tab
  • Practical examples of where this might be useful
