Hello,
there are generally two ways to make apps accessible. One way, commonly
used, is to expose some sort of information to so called screen reader,
which is responsible for presenting these information to user. The other
way is to incorporate speech synthesis and/or Braille support directly
into applications, which know best what they want to say, thus providing
extended accessibility support for one particular application.
I'm not completely blind, I can use computer visually, but I can read
Braiile. So I¨d like to have some sort of text viewer displaying its
output on Braille display and being controlled mainly by Braille display
buttons, which would run along with other app, controlled visually.
Possible usage? E.g. reading docs on Braille while trying various
techniques on app the docs are about, or reading game walkthru while
playing a game.
Would it be so hard to incorporate BRLTTY as extension into vim or
emacs, so that their window contents would be displayed on Braille? Or
provide simple plain text viewer with its output on Braille? I'd like to
use such a tool on Windows.
