>From these answers, the displaying it visually seems the greatest
advantage. I used to use libbraille for a previous work like this, but
brltty I think will take its place (libbraille just doesn't seem to be
being developed any more and to be honest seemed to have some issues
when connecting to the display). I am not quite sure what gnome-braille
is for, I downloaded the latest version (which is quite old) and
couldn't find any documentation which actually showed me what the uses
might be or how to use it. If gnome-braille is worth me knowing about,
let me know, and where I can get more information.
