Appendix C: Braille Display Information

Part A: Using a refreshable Braille display with the Ace Plus

(See Part B of Appendix C for details on supported Braille displays and on which

controls on a particular display corresponds to which control on the Ace Plus).

Before using your Braille display, if you would like to use Grade 2 Braille, you will

need to turn this feature on in General Settings as described below. (By default

Grade 2 Braille is set to off). Also, if you would like to disable word wrapping to

allow more characters per line, you can turn Word Wrap to off in the Settings.

To adjust your settings, start from the Main Menu, scroll to and select Settings.

Next select General Settings. Scroll to and select Grade 2 Braille. Then, scroll to

and select “On.” You will be returned to the Settings menu options. If you want to

turn Word Wrap off, scroll to and select Braille Word Wrap, and then select Off.

Next, connect the Braille display to one of the USB ports on the Ace Plus. Wait

10-30 seconds for the Braille display to start, depending on your display.

To use a Braille display without adjusting the settings first, please power on the

Ace Plus and wait until it is fully booted and you hear “Scan and Read,” before

connecting the Braille display to one of the USB ports on the Ace Plus. The

Braille display should start within 10-30 seconds.

Next, choose the Scan and Read menu option from the Main Menu. To take a

picture, press the Scan button. It will start reading aloud. When scanning a

document using the Scan button on the Braille display, there is no voice output.

If you use the Scan button on the Ace Plus, it will behave as it normally does,

but will stop reading aloud if you scroll the Braille display.

Use the buttons on your Braille display to navigate through the text (read

Appendix C part B for details on your particular display). The cursor will follow

along as you read. The Ace Plus will not, however, read aloud if you are reading

the text using the panning buttons (sometimes called Back and Advance) on the

Braille display.

Please note: If you are doing a quick check of the battery status and network

connection status by pressing the Center Daisy Button, and you are using a

Braille display, once you press the Center Daisy Button on the Ace Plus, you

can use the Right Roller or equivalent controls on your Braille display to scroll to

the battery status and the Network Status. Once you have read the status, you

can press the Back Button (or equivalent) to return to the screen you were on.
