Leopard Braille Support

[James Austin]

Hi folks,

With the release of Leopard just around the corner, does anyone among  
the testers know  if Braille is supported? Just a yes or no will do,  
I'm not asking you to break your NDAs. How well supported is Brille,  
as many of you know, Braille support is a major feature of Jaws and  
Window Eyes, allowing you to monitor the system in Braille as well as  
all the applications including word processors etc.

Those of you who use Braile will understand how important it is for  
us to know which Braille Displays are supported, and how much support  
we are getting. I heard on this list a long while back, that limited  
Braille support was available in Termial. Has Braille support gone  
system and application wide now in Leopard?


Just imagine for a second, Mac has  slowly been regaining its hold on  
the Education market, through people like yourselves putting the Mac  
forward as a tool for students, doing what it says on the tin -  
getting the job done. But if students going to University in  
September are being swayed  to use mac, many of them will probably be  
Braille users. It would not be good for them to purchase an expensive  
Braille notetaker, only to find that it either does not work at all  
with Mac, or only has very limited support.

Again as I'm sure many of you can appreciate, this is a prressing  
concern for many Braille users, not only on this list, but also for  
potential Mac users.

Thanks

James
