<div dir="auto">I pretty sure that nvda 2022 and older version of nvda has brltty in the list of braille display under the setting and it does work with brlapi. However the version nvda 2024.1 does not have brltty in the braille display setting even though brlapi is running. Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

None of our active devs really use Windows on a regular basis.<br>
I wonder if it was a good idea to port to that platform, since that<br>
raises expectations on the user side.<br>
