@aral@starlabssystems This company make great hardware, it's just a shame that the firmware side of things seems to be very buggy, at least in my experience.

@ablade Hi! Yes, this is super annoying. I think I have a solution for you though. Connect the braille display, open a text field, and then with the text field still open, turn the braille display off and wait. The keyboard should then show up.
Going back to Microsoft word on Windows to write up a document today showed me how much my productivity has improved since I moved to using an iPad primarily.
I think I’m just going to write off productivity on Windows entirely.
@Rachel_Thorn as far as I can tell, there isn’t a way to do this. There is a commandline tool called switch_audio that can, using launchbar/alfrid workflows or hammerspoon, but that’s more involved and probably not exactly what you’re looking for.
It's been way long, so I should probably do a #introduction post again. Maybe I'll even remember to pin this one! Anyway, hi, and welcome to my corner of Mastodon. I like games, terrible jokes, tech and music. Also books, mostly sci-fi and the odd fantasy thing thrown in now and then. Oh. Sometimes I also make stuff. https://github.com/aaron-gh and also https://aaron-gh.github.io/Mac-Accessibility-Hub I like accessibility, too! Please interact before requesting to follow, and descriptive bios are always appreciated!
Replying to this to add my account focused only on #a11y, in the #workPlace and wider world. Accessibility stuff will still be posted here, the alt is for those who maybe only want to see that content and don’t care about the rest of my ramblings (perfectly understandable) Anyway, it’s located at https://iaccessibility.social/@a1rny
I’m aaron, a #blind person from #England, #Uk. Interests include #tech, #gaming, #reading, #music, #science, and #writing. This is my main account, I have another that only is focused on #a11y. Only accepting follow requests from accounts with bios (must interact first)
