<div dir="ltr">I should have clarified. The student is interested in either IOS or Mac applications, but finding a Mac application is the priority. These are two Mac applications that the student has found but has not yet purchased or tested with VoiceOver.<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
One of our students is currently looking for an accessible, user-friendly<br>
braille translation application for use on their IOS device. The student is<br>
currently looking at Braille Writer Pro<br>
<<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/braille-writer-pro/id560534340?mt=12" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/braille-writer-pro/id560534340?mt=12</a>><br>

Does anyone have any experience with these particular applications or have<br>
knowledge of any other applications that might work effectively with<br>
VoiceOver?<br>
<br>
The student would like to know whether Braille Writer Pro<br>
<<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/braille-writer-pro/id560534340?mt=12" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/braille-writer-pro/id560534340?mt=12</a>><br>

work with VoiceOver before purchasing either for extended use.<br>
<br>
Thank you for any insight or recommendations.<br>

is the student using?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hello, all.<br>
<br>
I recently had JAWS user try to participate in a webinar hosted on Collaborate and she was unable to access it. Upon further investigation, I realized that I could not access it either. This was on a PC that had previously worked with Collaborate using the same version of JAWS I had used before.<br>
<br>
I ran to Teresa Haven (as I often do) and she was able to learn that bit agreement between OS, JAWS and Java was necessary (as well as enabling the Java Access Bridge). I was able to set things up to make it work but when I tried using NVDA with the same setup, it did not work. I have not experimented with Window Eyes.<br>
<br>
This does not meet the standard of accessibility want to meet. I wonder if anyone else has any wisdom to share on this. Has anyone else been in communication with Blackboard about this?<br>
<br>
Your thoughts are appreciated.<br>
<br>
Melanie<br>
