Good afternoon everyone, dancer a question or two that appeared in the 
mail that I'm replying to, yes I do own in use a refresher bowl braille 
display. However when using JAWS for Windows sadly not all of the things 
that go to the screen get displayed in braille. Unfortunately screen 
readers for the blind are built with the premise of speech first braille 
unfortunately a distant second.


You mentioned using a installer, are you suggesting that there is a 
installer that will assist in doing the necessary things that I think 
must happen when one is installing Ubuntu on a hard drive that has 
Windows 11 on it?


Also could someone just remind me what the current version of Ubuntu is. 
Just to refresh my memory. Because I'm doing a lot of things these days 
and things could get confusing. I hope this clarifies things?


Also I do have previous experience using orca, but I don't know how to 
incorporate orca with my braille display. I think it can be done but I'm 
not 100% sure how difficult that is to incorporate braille output along 
with that speech which I think is "Festival" I have had a lot more 
Lennix experience with Red Hat, Fedora. But the person who helped me 
maintain that, and taught me new things. As been gone for now seven 
years. Meaning sadly he passed away. In closing I would certainly 
appreciate any suggestions and/or helpful comments and pointers to 
resources that anyone is able to find.


Sincerely Maurice Mines.
