Technical Support - Detail

What Braille displays does JAWS support and are any unsupported displays emulated?

JAWS supports many braille displays in its installation program. However, if your display is not listed below, this does not necessarily mean that it will not work with JAWS.

If you have a braille display that is not listed in the installer, please contact the manufacturer of that display to determine if it emulates any of the displays listed. If not, the manufacturer may have a driver that will provide support for your display.

Please refer to the following list for the supported displays as well as those known to work by emulating another display:
