[BRLTTY] The braillists forum and an article about reading in braille

[Devin Prater]

I use mostly speech, for the (learning) code that I do (in Python). NVDA
has an ability to beep at a certain tone to show indentation. The higher
the tone, the more indented a line is. Emacspeak says something like
"indent 2" or "indent 4" in a slightly softer voice than normal, to show
indentation. A long-time goal of mine, though, is to get back into using
Braille, and BRLTTY, for things. But I'd have to get much better with the
console and all, and console email clients at that.
