Dear Anders, I appreciate your candor here. Early this year, I bounced back to the Mac after a few years on Windows/NVDA, and while I don’t rely on braille (I’m a low-vision user of magnification+speech), I do try to keep my Mantis connected to my Mac most days as a way of keeping my braille skills sharp since my vision is always changing, and always changing in one direction hehe. Happy to ask you these questions off-list, but I’d be very curious to hear more about your frustrations.
What are your main frustrations with Braille on MacOS? Where does it work well, and where does it fall down? When you say “Linux is far far away from the Mac when it comes to accessibility with braille,” do you mean that BRLTTY is much more reliable with braille than VoiceOver on MacOS? Or that Linux with MacOS below JAWS with respect to braille support? You definitely don’t sound like a whining baby, FWIW—these concerns are crucial to our productivity and viability as digital citizens (which is, in 2025, to say: citizens) and figuring out a workflow/stack/setup that is maximally functional is an essential question that I for one have become monomaniacally obsessed with these past few years as my vision has changed. Again, happy to chat about this off-list if that’s preferable. All best, Andrew -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
