Re: [orca-list] Best practices to run Windows in Gnome Boxes

[Halim Sahin <halim sahin t-online de>]

Hi Vladyslav,
Okay I don't use gnome any more but the approach should work in gnome as
well.

My setup to run braille in windows  and linux is as follows:
1. Run Linux on the host
2. use qemu/kvm with brlapi support  to virtualize your windows
3. In windows activate braille support (brllty)
4. Use nvda as your favorite Screenreader :-).

This way braille Support works fine for me.
HTH.
