Yes, in fact, it requires screen (the terminal windowing/multiplexing
programme) because that's the only way it can know what's happening on
the screen.

It's been a couple years since I had this setup, but you'll want a
working GNU environment with gcc et al: I used fink at the time, but I
believe there are other options such as macports. You need to apply a
patch to screen and build it, and build brltty as well, of course. It's
only slightly tricky, and works just the same as usual once everything's
in place. It makes the Mac terminal a LOT more pleasant to use, as
voiceover isn't very terminal friendly.
