So it's supported.

Then it should be detected automatically since USB is the default.

>I tried to start brltty with parameters -b and -t 

It'd be best to show us the whole command line.

To have brltty autodetect any USB device (which is the default), specify: 

   -d usb:

>It would be ok if i could use espeak as
>driver without braile but -s es isn't working to.

It'd be helpful for us to see the actual error messages. You can redirect 
brltty's log to a file with the -L (uppercase) option. So: -L /path/to/logfile
