Braille Study Mode
Braille Study Mode is a training tool for teaching and learning braille. When
Braille Study Mode is on, JAWS will announce the current braille character in a
display cell when you press the Cursor Router button immediately above that
cell. When you press the particular Cursor Router button in conjunction with the
left or right selector button, JAWS will announce and spell the braille word. To
enable Braille Study Mode, do the following:
1.
Make sure that the Focus display is connected to your computer using
either a USB or Bluetooth connection.
2.
Press
V
to open Quick Settings.
3.
In the Search edit box, type
“study mode” without the quotes.
4.
Press
DOWN ARROW
to move to Study Mode in the filtered search
results, and then press
SPACEBAR
. Braille Study Mode remains on
until toggled off or until JAWS is restarted.
In addition, the following commands are available even when Braille Study
Mode is disabled:
Press
MODE+CURSOR ROUTER
to make JAWS announce the
braille character in the display cell, or
Press
CURSOR SELECTOR
to make JAWS announce
and spell the braille word.
This is useful when you need a quick reminder, but you do not want to go
through the process of turning on Braille Study Mode as previously described.
Note:
JAWS returns to normal operation after announcing the braille character
or word.
