I have used braille displays with DBT for years.

Here is how to see what your 40 cell line looks like:

1.  Translate the document into braille.

2.  Make sure the "view translated line" is turned off.

3. Make sure your embosser and document settings for the page width is 40, not 42.

4.  Make sure "view codes" is turned off.

5. To read the document, use the line up or line down buttons. Another words, when you have read a line, don't press the advance button but press the command which will make your display go down to the beginning of the next line. I don't have an Alva and I don't know what screen reader you are using so I can't be more specific.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [duxuser] Using DBT 10.5 with Braille Display



Hi. I have a braille display. It's a 40-cell Alva, and my purpose is to use the display in combination with DBT to see what my 40-cell line is going to look like. In short, I would like the braille display to exactly represent the braille line I'm working on, the braille version of WYSIWYG. Is this possible, and if so, how? When I try it the display seems to shift around the braille line, even though the line length and the display length are supposed to be the same. Any help would be appreciated.
