Hi! Well i can’t agree more with you William. I have written to the accessibility team about this but i only get a thank you we will bring this to our devs. Braille is probably not very important for the accessibility team. But i guess thats how it goes. I remember when hal came out for windows it didn’t had braille support. But after a lot of complaints the dolphin team made hal work great with braille. This is why i really don’t want to throw away windows yet as the screenreaders for windows still are far better with braille support. Also linux has far better braille support. If you don’t mind i would like to forward your message to the list to the apple accessibility team. I am not very good in explaining things in English as Swedish is my main language. And your mail was exactly what i would like to tell them. /A > 25 nov 2014 kl. 17:47 skrev William Windels <william.wind...@gmail.com>: > > Hello all, > > I would like to have your opinions about he braille evolutions in osx: > > Since the introduction of braille in 10.5, only a few changes are made: > adding more supported displays in 10.5.x > adding more braille-tables in 10.6.x > and I believe in 10.7: a few configuration-options to configure the > popup-messages. > If I remind well, this is all that is changed in the braille settings. > > Since I use my macbook air in a course I follow, I discover that it’s very > hard to use osx without speech. > > What is still missing in my opinion after 6 years of evolution from 10.5 to > 10.10: > 1- no option for word wrapping: this can be useful for fast reading (loudly); > 2- no different modes line, structured, speech (like in jaws): specialy > structured mode in jaws is configurable, type of controls is shown, > interaction-levels could be shown on this way. > It’s e.g. very frustrating if you are in a text area and you can read all > with the braille-line but you can’t edit or simply move the cursor to any > position that is visible on the braille display. > > 3- to know if quicknav is on/off before moving isn’t possible also. > On this way , it’s very easy to lose your position in a text-area or a window. > > 4- In some cases, the text that’s in the voiceover cursor is (always) > underlineed with dots 7-8.
