On the other hand, if you are using DBT 10.5 and you install the JAWS
scripts that come with it, when you press the <DOWN> or <UP ARROW>
keys to read a line of text within a braille file, JAWS reads the line
on the screen that back-transcribes the words on the line that has
focus so that JAWS reads the words as print words and not words which
contain ASCII characters that are used to represent braille
contractions.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
