Hi Robert, Even compared to iOS, Mac braille support is very rudimentary. Off the top of my head: No support for direct input, only predefined function keys. Poor computer braille table support outside North America. Buggy, sometimes unusable grade 2 translation, where punctuation is adjacent to

You can mute speech on the mac with at least the trackpad. Same gesture as on the iPhone three finger double tap. You can also mute speech via a check box in VoiceOver Utility under the voices category. You could also set up a keyboard commander to mute speech on the fly. Christopher Hallswort

Anders, Can you explain more? You do not want speech on when using braille? I have not used my braille display that much yet with the Mac or iPhone but when I do, speech is on but if I don't want to hear it I can just mute it. I have not used it yet with Windows but will run NVDA when I do.

Just turn off automatic braille translation. That way, it'll only translate when you press the space bar. On Jun 28, 2014, at 8:29 PM, Robert C wrote: > Sabahattin, > I wanted to come back to this and ask you, in what ways you feel that > braille support in OS X (and iOS too?) is substandard.

I know on iOS that translation from computer Braille to literary grade II Braille is best described as querky. This however has been fixed in iOS 7. What happened is you start typing a word such as black. If you're a quick typist then you won't see this problem. But if you are a slow one then y
