It does appear and you have to set up a JFW frame around the text.  I would
associate it with a hot key and you can use the key to speak the translated
line.

I did try control plus f8 and could tell that nothing changed.  I did not
see a translated line in the print document.  I've never been able to get
that feature to work for me.  I think it might be a visual thing that jaws
doesn't recognize or communicate.

George: Where in the DBT menus would I go to set up the yellow translated
line to be seen all the time?

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?
