In my personal experience, the best option is to build yourself a Linux virtual machine with BRLTTY on it, and then connect that VM to your braille display. The primary downside to that is that it's not normally very easy to switch between one or the other, and you have to have a USB interface

Yep, USB serial will work, because it's just USB that VMWare can pass through; normally though this means the only way to get braille back is to disconnect it, and unless you're using a non-serial device that will hotplug to relaunch BRLTTY this simply can't work. Check the BRLTTY docs for all
