Hi Samuel: I'm not as conversant as I need to be with Linux terminology yet. In Ubuntu terms, brltty operates fine when I go to a command line, console I believe, with alt+ctrl+f2. It gives the error message when I go to a full screen command prompt, alt+ctrl+f7. Hope this is of some help a

Hi Mario: I followed the Orca instructions for braille, and near the end of them a command is given from Python; something about "import brltty". That command gives me no errors. For that reason partly, I believe the answer to your question is "yes". Also, braille is working with orca, at le
