<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>thank you for all your thoughts on that. It was already very
interesting and helpful.</p>
<p>Mario, maybe you're right and Applevis would have been a better
place to discuss that, compared to this list. The reason why I
chose to right here was because on one hand, here are persons
using and relying on Braille display, and also some of you who use
the terminal. But thank you for the idea, I'll also search on
Applevis.</p>
<p>Best regards, Julian<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">VoiceOver for MacOS supports a variety of
braille displays. Just connect a supported display, start
VoiceOver, and you should have basic braille access. You can
also assign commands to controls on the braille display via
VoiceOver configuration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">VoiceOver for Mac seems to be polarizing:
some people like it, whereas others – especially former
Windows users – complain ad nauseum. I’m more in the former
category, while fully acknowledging bugs and limitations.
Every operating system has those, especially in connection
with accessibility. Accessibility-related bugs aside, MacOS is
an excellent operating system. The only way to find out how
well it fits your use cases, unfortunately, is to spend some
time with it, and put aside the Windows knowledge while
learning a quite different screen reader. Essentially,
VoiceOver for Mac relies extensively on object-level
navigation using screen reader commands, and only secondarily
on keyboard navigation commands included in the system and
applications. All of the usual UNIX commands and utilities are
available, but they follow BSD syntax. I would recommend
installing Homebrew, which provides an easy means of
installing both MacOS applications and free
software/open-source packages (but not BRLTTY).<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Subject: </b>[BRLTTY] Slightly OT: Braille support on
MacOS<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div id="mail-editor-reference-message-container">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, sorry for the slightly off-topic
quiestion, but I believe that here may be some
Braille-familiar users knowing a bit more about MacOS than
I. Currently, I use Windows primarily, and whenever I have
the option to work in the CLI I use Linux. Speech is nice to
have, but I rely primarily on Braille, and in the CLI I'm
completely without speech. Now since I most likely need a
new laptop, I thought of getting a Macbook, since I'm
impressed of the very good quality of the speakers, the
power of the M2, and if I want to use the Logic DAW then I
actually don't have another choice. But how is the Brialle
support? Everyone I asked just told me that it's possible to
connect a Braille display, but they work primarily with
speech. Learning new shortcuts and apps would be fully OK
for me, getting speech-dependent wouldn't. So, do you guys
have any experiences to share? I'd be happy hearing from
you. All the best, Julian
