Hello,

In the desktop your braille display should use the braille facility built into
orca, it won(t work directly as it does in console mode.

About the robotic voice: you may change it, in the Orca preferences GUI, but
you will probbaly need to install additional ones.

I am not sure to understand; do you want to use your braille display in the
host system or in the Or both?

As stated in this Changelog:
https://github.com/brltty/brltty/blob/master/Documents/ChangeLog
The Brailliant 40X from Humanware is supported by brltty, but only in the
latest release brltty 6.4.

Instead the Slint distribution that I maintain ships brltty-6.4. And ships
several voices, many other ones can be bought to oralux.org:

But Ubuntu 21.10 ships brltty 6.3 so provides no support for this device

Good afternoon, my subject line and someone says it all, should I run braille TTY alongside orca, or should I use the braille facility built into orca to drive my braille display? I am running Ubuntu 2110 and a virtual machine. Although orca is running, I can't understand that robotic voice anymore. That's why I am extremely interested in adding support for my braille display. The second question is because my braille display is one of the latest, and greatest. Is it even supported? I use a human where Brailliant BI 40 X display. I normally run it in a new USB mode when I have to use an assistive listening device for the computer. This is especially true if the listening device must be Bluetooth, because in the host operating system which is Mac OS Monterey, it appears that you cannot run Bluetooth audio, and Bluetooth braille together. If this happens, speech is extremely choppy to unintelligible. USB braille when using Bluetooth audio and Bluetooth braille. I suspect that this is something to do with my machine.


Since whenever I use the guest, I use braille in USB mode I'm thinking supporting this should be substantially easier than if I were to use Bluetooth for instance. Does anyone have any thoughts, and/or suggestions on this issue? Please be aware that I am dictating this to the computer, so there's something that I have written above, please reach out to me and asked me what I might have meant. I look forward to clearing up any misunderstandings that might come up as a result of the above written text. Thank you all very much for reading this.
