Hello again Jean.
I may be misunderstanding you, but I want to make sure that I was clear
about the settings. The two settings that I listed are the ones that
cause the problem, not the settings I recommend. If you have both of the
settings that I listed, then make a change. For example, in Global ->
Internationalization, switch from Prefer Unicode braille patterns to
Prefer local/national encoding.
If you already had JAWS 2021 on your system and just updated to a newer
release, there would be no reason for DBT to prompt you to install the
JAWS script files, as they would already have been installed. To make
sure you are using the JAWS script files for DBT, press Insert+Q in DBT.
If JAWS says, "dbtw settings are loaded," that means the JAWS script
files for DBT are running.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Caryn

Hello Caryn,
I doublechecked, and those are the settings I have. So this is not the fix. Ug.
After installing this Jaws update, I didn’t get a prompt from DBT to install the latest Jaws scripts, etc. Can you remind me where to check to see if the Jaws scripts are even being loaded? I have forgotten how to manually install scripts.

Hello Jean and all.
This problem sounds like what happens with JAWS when you have two particular settings in DBT's Global Menu. Here are the Global settings in DBT which when combined throw JAWS off course:
1. In Global -> Internationalization choose Prefer Unicode braille patterns, and
2. in Global -> Default views set Default font for braille documents to Braille or SimBraille.
With those two settings combined, JAWS chooses the wrong characters to speak and show on the braille display. It's interesting that this same combination of DBT settings works fine with other screen readers.
All the best,
Caryn
If you switch in Global -> Internationalization from Prefer Unicode braille patterns to Prefer Local/national encoding, the problem is eliminated. Alternatively, if you switch the default font for braille documents in Global -> Default Views from Braille or SimBraille to Print, the problem is eliminated as well.
All the best,
Caryn

Further information. Six-key entry in a Braille file is also
really messed up. For example, pressing “l” for dot 6, I hear “sh
sign”. “k” for dot 5 says “ed sign”. Etc.
To explain the results in a translated file, if I type the word
“test” and translate, I get “dots 3-6 space space dots 1-3-4”. The
second hyphen does not appear on the display, but Jaws speaks it.
Tomorrow I will reinstall an older version of Jaws and see if it
fixes this.
