Hi Robert, Even compared to iOS, Mac braille support is very rudimentary. Off the top of my head: No support for direct input, only predefined function keys. Poor computer braille table support outside North America. Buggy, sometimes unusable grade 2 translation, where punctuation is adjacent to words. No auto pan or restricted view modes, precise style indicators, or indentation. Inconsistent panning in both directions with embedded objects or in HTML and scrollable text (the shell, most notably). Non-independent focus, creating an undue dependence on speech.
In short, it just isn't all that good. :) Now, of course, if you're just reading odd blocks of text, then it will do the trick. But really, I expect Mac braille support to be at least as good as that of iOS, and I would hope that it shone with the same light as the rest of the OS. Frankly, when I want the superlative braille experience, I boot into either Linux or Windows, for textmode or grade 2 reading, respectively.
