2  Installation of Braille Voyager Software 

 

2.1 Introduction 

This chapter tells you how to install the Braille Voyager software and the 
screenreader drivers. Before starting with the software installation make sure you 
read  Chapter 1 (Setting up your Braille Voyager) and the Software License 
Agreement. 
 
After you have inserted the Braille Voyager CD into your CD-ROM drive the setup 
program will guide you through the installation. All the setup screens will be shown in 
Braille on your Braille Voyager and will have speech support in English, German, 
French or Dutch. The setup will automatically search your system for the Braille 
Voyager, install all necessary Windows drivers, the Braille Voyager Control, and if 
found the drivers for JAWS for Windows and Dolphin SAM. Drivers for Window-Eyes 
and Virgo NT are included in the products themselves and are not shipped on the 
Braille Voyager CD. If the Braille Voyager Setup finds Virgo NT on your system, it will 
automatically set the Braille Voyager as the default Braille display. In the next 
paragraphs you will find detailed instructions on how to configure the screenreaders 
and how to install the Braille Voyager drivers.  
 
You have the choice between two setup types: a typical and a custom setup. We 
recommend using the typical setup. The typical setup will automatically install and 
update all the needed components. If you would like to install the Braille Voyager 
software manually you can choose the custom setup option. This option is for 
advanced users only. The custom setup will ask you what components you would like 
to install. For each component chosen you will need to provide the correct installation 
location.  

 

2.2  Installing the Braille Voyager for Dolphin SAM 

To use the Braille Voyager with the Dolphin products Hal or Supernova, you need to 
install the Braille Voyager SAM driver. To install the SAM driver on your system insert 
the Braille Voyager CD in your CD-ROM drive and follow the on screen instructions. 
At the “select setup method” screen, select the typical setup. The setup program will 
automatically configure your system and install the SAM driver for the Braille 
Voyager.
