Hi Ann,
 
Why don't you install your JAWS as a demo, and run the sessions in 30-40
minute slots?
 
Anyway, suggest you set DBT up so that the yellow Translated line at the
bottom of the screen is available in all views.  That way, when in a
print document, she will see what it will look like in braille, and in a
braille document will see the translation.  (Not always 100%, but
hopefully good enough for what you need right now)

        Thanks George.  I've got a feeling this training will be
difficult for me to conduct since there will be no speech and I will
have to rely on the student to tell me what she is seeing on the screen
and if she doesn't know braille, I doubt she will be able to identify
what she is seeing.  George, how is the braille situated in relation to
the print on the screen?

                Hi Ann,
                 
                In the absence of information, all I can say is that of
it is ZoomText screen enlargement software, the answer is "YEs!"

                        I'm a speech user and I'm about to do some
Duxbury training with a person who uses a large print screen reader.
Can someone write me and tell me if the large print screen readers show
both the brint and the braille in a Duxbury braille document?
