For a braille display you need a software to use it which you don't have
to pay a cent for getting it:
For Windows you have Nvda, for Apple products you use Voiceover, for
Android you use Talkback, for Lynux you use Orca. What is the damn
expensive software you need for using braille with a braille display?
Cheers,

Hi George.
As a professional musician and singer myself I personally disagree
entirely about braille music, but that is not an arguement to have here.
Regarding braille display and writing, given the choice between a
synth voice are a braille display, for speed and convenience I'd
probably read with a synth, however for atmosphere and flow I would
probably read in braille, (though I'd take an actual human voice
reading over both and it is possible synths might crack the intonation
barrier in the future).
However, the problem is, despite any bennifits I might perceive in
braille, it is dam expensive! my Iphone cost me nothing over what it
would cost with a sighted user, I could similarly use nvda on a pc,
heck Supernova is coming down in price for this reason.
With a braille display you still! need the software to begin with
before you've even bought the itme. Were a braille display 100 usd,
---- maybe even 200I'd considder getting one, but the plane and symple
truth is that 1000 usd is a heck of a lot of money for access to
reading text one line at a time.
We can debate the pros and cons of the process of reading braille
until the cows come home, but the ultimate question is one of basic
economiccs. if something costs lots of money and something which can
provide for most people an acquivolent service costs less, what are
people going to buy?
This is why the technology has to improve and be updated if braille is
going to stick around in any major capacity in the future, indeed
myself I'm fairly certain that unless a workable interface is
developed in the next 5-10 years, in 20 years time nobody newly blind
will be learning braille at all which means in 50 years it will die
out completely.
Beware the Grue!
