I am not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do re the =
application and jaws scripting. It would be fairly easy but tedious to =
use keyPressedEvent to determine which keys have been pressed and to =
correspond those keys to given braille symbols. =20
Each key on the braille display has its own name as "braille f17" and =
combinations of keys give keynames as "braille f17+f21"
You could create a delimited list of key name combinations and a =
corresponding second list of symbols to output.=20
How you would use that output in terms of your application is where I =
fail to understand things.
The following code recognizes letters a and b when I press the =
corresponding arbitrarily assigned keys on my braille display and types =
the letter as appropriate.
Void Function KeyPressedEvent (int nKey, string strKeyName, int =
nIsBrailleKey, int nIsScriptKey)
var
string pressedKeys,
string keyNamesList,
string outputList,
string result
let keynamesList =3D "Braille F17"+ ;this is letter a
"|Braille F17+F21" ;this is letter b
let outputList =3D "a|b"
if nIsBrailleKey then
delay(1)
if !IsKeyWaiting () then
let pressedKeys =3D strKeyName
endif
let result =3D StringSegment (outputList, "|", StringSegmentIndex =
(keynamesList, "|", pressedKeys, 1))
if result > "" then
typekey(result)=09
saystring(result)
endif
endif
Endfunction

I can test the Program with a HandyTech "Braille star 40", but I can =
only
sometimes have the braille display to try things out. The program should
be usable with different Braille displays (at least this would be
preferable).
I have sucessfully tried the Function KeyPressedEvent(), it is called
every time a braille key is pressed, and allows to determine which key.
But the problem is to recognize the point of time when all the braille
keys are released again. Then the keys which have been pressed determine
the pattern, which should be passed to the application. Or is there a
totally different way to do it?
BTW: currently I simulate a braille keyboard using the normal PC =
keyboard,
but with some keyboards this doesn't work.
