[BRLTTY] Slightly OT: Braille support on MacOS

[Roberto Burceni]

Hi,

I used mac with braille for some years but I think that the braille 
support is poor.

You can not read easily long texts and braille is quite completely 
depending from synthesis.

You can customize braille keys for some functions but in my opinion 
Braille with mac remains not confortable to use.

Best regards

Speech is nice to have, but I rely primarily on Braille, and in the CLI I'm completely without speech. Now since I most likely need a new laptop, I thought of getting a Macbook, since I'm impressed of the very good quality of the speakers, the power of the M2, and if I want to use the Logic DAW then I actually don't have another choice. But how is the Brialle support? Everyone I asked just told me that it's possible to connect a Braille display, but they work primarily with speech. Learning new shortcuts and apps would be fully OK for me, getting speech-dependent wouldn't. So, do you guys have any experiences to share?
