Between this podcast and the last, the following 3 questions were asked and answered.
Yes, this is the QWERTY version of the BrailleNote evolve BT (Braille input keyboard) from Humanware. Enjoy.
Simply get RIM from getrim.app for your device, in this case Windows (Evolve), and then download the RIM app from the iOS App Store and away you go by simply using a keyword. Nothing could be easier or free via the keyword option. I'm going to upgrade mine to a subscription option as I'm so impressed by this product.
In other words, using JAWS on the Evolve is just like using JAWS on a Windows laptop with some things to be aware of: different way of doing numbers, function keys mainly.
In this demo, I explain how to choose your preferred reading input and output table, and then have a bit of a play around with the Braille Editor, and Word.
