You can mute speech on the mac with at least the trackpad. Same gesture
as on the iPhone three finger double tap. You can also mute speech via a
check box in VoiceOver Utility under the voices category. You could also
set up a keyboard commander to mute speech on the fly.

Hi!
Sometimes speech can be annoying and there's no way of muting speech on a mac
from what i know.
On the iphone evrything is fine but not on the mac.
But i guess that as long as you only read mails and such braille is pritty ok.

Anders,
Can you explain more? You do not want speech on when using braille? I have
not used my braille display that much yet with the Mac or iPhone but when I do,
speech is on but if I don't want to hear it I can just mute it. I have not used
it yet with Windows but will run NVDA when I do.
But back to what the question I asked was, in what way is Apple's braikke
support lacking? Knowing that, I can be ready for any issues I may run into. In
my limited tests, braille output seems ok.

Hi!
Swedish letters are verry strange sometimes.
Also the movement of the braille could be much more easy.
Now i am a power user of windows of course and also very used to linux and
their environment and when moving around the braille display on a window
doesn't afect the speech.
However when moving the display over the window on the mac i still hear speech
comming through.
So the speech and braille follows each other which really annoys me.
I want it to be as in window eyes or in orca or brltty for linux.

I know on iOS that translation from computer Braille to literary grade II
Braille is best described as querky. This however has been fixed in iOS 7. What
happened is you start typing a word such as black. If you're a quick typist
then you won't see this problem. But if you are a slow one then you may end up
with the letters b l a c just fine but after entering the k and the space the k
would translate to knowledge. Someone can correct me on this though because I
don't use Braille on iOS or OS X yet. I'm not aware of any issues pertaining to
Braille under OS X.

Sabahattin,
I wanted to come back to this and ask you, in what ways you feel
that braille support in OS X (and iOS too?) is substandard. When I begin
to use my Mac full time, I will connect my braille display most of the
time. Therefore I want to be aware of these issues and work around them.
Thanks.

Hi Eileen,
To be honest, braille on OS X is a bit substandard. As you can see,
it doesn't even quite work as designed in some text fields. I'd
encourage you to open the same document in TextEdit, for comparison.
Don't get your hopes up for anything like the quality of support from
the Windows screen readers, I'm afraid.
With regard to BrailleNote in particular, the best way to figure out
what all the keys do is to examine the mappings in VoiceOver Utility.
I changed the panning buttons to be the outer keys, and vertical
navigation to be the inner ones.
I hope you figure this out, but feel free to ask if you get stuck and
I'll try and recreate your issue.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
