I think that the best way to approach this with people who don't actually use
braille is to give concrete examples of what you cannot now do with the braille
and what you want to do with it. Then if possible explain something about how
that would work or how it can be done. Even with people who

Hi!
Well you can access it but the braille support is not as great as for example
in jaws or window eyes.
THe best screenreader i've seen is infact cobra for windows and orca or brltty
for linux.
Theycan be used without speech.

But you don't have to take my word for it, just perform this simple test: turn

You can and I keep promising to put out an update but never get around to it.

If you go into VoiceOver Utility, under the Braille category, there is a
