Mario, the maintainer of the brltty Debian package, is very active, which means that there is a good synchronisation beteen debian packages and the upstream sources. Moreover particular attention is given in Debian to the installer and its accessibility by visually impaired persons. So for instance the USB braille displays are now autodetected by the installer, which means that the installation is possible with them from standard Debian CDs without any extra work. > What is the difference between brrltty and brlapi? brltty is the software that lets you review the screen through a braille display or speech synthesis. brlapi is, so to speak, a component that lets other applications use the braille display to display what they want. brlapi has one part in brltty which receives the requests of other applications, and one part as a library other applications may use to send their requests to brltty andprocess its replies.
