6.3 Other screen readers
A driver is under development for Blindows, but in the meantime VarioPro can be
used in the VarioPro 80 emulation.
A driver is already available for JAWS should you not wish to use the emulation of
another Braille display. The JAWS driver is in the JFWDRV directory of the VarioPro
installation CD supplied. It also contains the “Readme-JFWDRV-ENG.txt” file with
information on the current version of the driver.
A driver will soon be available for Windows Eyes, but for the time being other
emulations can be used.
To use the Braille display with a screen reader for which there is currently no driver,
switch VarioPro to one of the emulations for other Braille displays. In the advanced
System Menu, select a suitable Braille display emulation and apply this display to
your screen reader. Emulations for “Baum” (Vario 80), “Handytech” and
“PowerBraille” are available. Under “port”, give the serial port to which the Braille
display is currently connected (USB will be treated as a virtual serial port).
