You aren't the first. It'd probably need to be done via LibLouis tables (which brltty does support). If you're referring to having this on Android, I don't know if LibLouis provides an apk for their tables.

Yes, I've been pushing for that for some years now. The issue is that HumanWare has decided, for their newer models, to abandon The older Bluetooth Serial Profile way and to use HID instead. Google is very protective of granting access to an app outside the system seeing a device's HID descriptor - I haven't won this argument yet. Also, I've tried to convince HumanWare to add back support for the Bluetooth Serial Profile but they don't want to.
