Re: Braille Displays

We've used a braille display for a PCI compliant program on the desktop in our donations department which worked better with braille displays than it did with screenreaders. The screenreader would jump around the program and was difficult to navigate, but when using a braille display it actually fixed some of the navigation issues we were running into.

The user didn't want a screenreader when interacting with possible donors. Said it was too distracting trying to listen to it and the phone call at the same time. I've also had a user who was braille display only and didn't like using the screenreader.
