Hi Annie and Teresa. For the Mac, at present I can only see one solution, that Apple adds a computer braille option to VoiceOver. I made this suggestion to them by writing accessibil...@apple.com because in the future I will need to replace my PacMate which is five years old with heavy use. I could install Windows and Jaws on my Mac. Then I can run WordPad If I get desperate, I might. However, I'd rather not. Depending on how things go, I am thinking of getting a Bluetooth braille display along with an iPad. Luckily, I don't need to do that now, but it's something to think about.
