Guys, Sorry for the OT post. I’m thinking of finding an affordable, possibly used, small braille display to help me learn Portuguese by having language lessons reenforced with braille along with speech. It’s a long story. I need hardware that would connect easily to my 2021 M1 MacBook.
I need two things. I need an affordable braille display so I can read Portuguese in braille. I also need a braille resource for learning the braille symbols for all the diacritical marks, (accents,) in Portuguese braille. For example, I know that an e with an acute accent is represented in braille with a full six dot cell. A C with a cedilla is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. But I would like a full braille table of all the conventional symbols for letters that commonly take accents and how these are represented in conventional foreign language text, particularly Portuguese. Finally, I’d also like any suggestions for braille Portuguese as second language textbooks that I might be able to use, particularly if they are relatively short and wouldn’t take up a ton of space on my shelf. For that matter, if there are braille resources which are computer files that could be read using an affordable braille display, that would be even cooler. Again, I realize this is pretty off the wall. If anyone has any suggestions regarding where I might turn to look for any of these tools, please let me know. Also, if anyone on this list knows of any resources inside Portugal where I might find some of these materials, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
