Hmmm. I don't fail to acknowledge, I just don't think it's a very good excuse. :)
I do understand what you're saying, and I'm happy in my own way with my chosen path for all the reasons many listers on here can share, but braille support has been here since Snow Leopard. It has not been substantially improved since then; in fact, about the only improvement I can see is international grade 2 braille translation, which I thought was very welcome. iOS, on the other hand, has seen and continues to see point updates for more braille displays, more languages, better text input, and probably more that I've forgotten. We've got to face it, Mac OS's braille support isn't a priority for Apple. GW Micro came out with braille support last, and even they've managed to honour user demand with their painfully slow release history, especially in recent years. If the Mac is going to attract blind people, it won't be because of its braille support. I think potential purchasers should know that. I want to believe that Apple will revisit braille in future. I want to believe that even point updates can bring OS X up to speed, even to iOS, which itself isn't all that terrific, but gets better all the time. Right now, though, the feeling is definitely one of mediocrity, as you've noted. They should mark the braille support as "Beta". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
