Hi, Alex,
VO works ok with the shell, but once you start using applications like Alpine
for mail and text web browsers, VO HAS some pretty awkward tracking issues.

I would have a headset or speakers plugged it as backup. You can go under VO
utilties and control what output VO can come out. For example, If you are

Just an idea. Also there is a way to mute VO speech too for trackpad usage y

Sorry, but why build Brltty for the mac? Voiceover has extensive braille
support, and it is the only screen reader available for the Mac to my
knowledge. There may be edge cases where independent braille output would be
helpful, but I can't think of any. Aside from the fun of the project itself
You definitely need to use screen-4.0.1 and that still can be compiled and
still does work and still is available but you have to get the source and
compile it. You need this because you have to use the brltty patches with it.
