[BRLTTY] brltty 6.6 under windows not working?

[Paul Scott]

Hi,

I am using a portable version of brltty and a HIMS note taker over
bluetooth serial. Since this is only braille display I have, I too can't
get the USB to work. Perhaps try connection over bluetooth? Lastly, brltty
is not listed in the options in the latest nvda. I hope this helps.
