EltenLink

#1 JHRadio

I have Elton set to use NVDA, but when I have NVDA open, once I enter the elton window, my braille display doesn't work at all. This is the only window it doesn't work in. ANy ideas?
Thanks,
John

You must have the NVDA Adon for Elten *you write Elton, but its written Elten. And in the Elten Settings, you can change it with a tickbox after the NVDA or Sapi selection.

If you start Elten, and you don't have it, it normaly should ask you if you want to download the adon.

Ah so I figured it out. I have to have NVDA running first, then open Eltan. Once I did that, I got braille access. The add on didn't need to be reinstalled. I don't understand though how come it only works with NVDA for braille and is self voicing. Like you have to put JAWS in speech on demand mode to not hear two screne readers saying words as you type.

Perhaps elten was only written for NVDA. I'm only guessing of course. I might be totally wrong on this.

Yes, you can't use it with Jaws.

It should be screne reader agnostic.

it can be screenreader agnostic if they will add support for tolk.dll on windows

That might explain why things take so long. Especially if this is not his day job.

Yeah. But I wouldn't keep my hopes so up for several other platforms elten, not elton, is running on, or shall be. Idk why people still spell it elton.
