I have this working on my Mac and want to know if anyone would find it useful or not. Braille contextual menu lets you select text in any Cocoa based application and translate that text into US grade two braille. In fact it could be made to do it into any number of other braille codes but that's for another day. The braille is then placed on the clipboard ready for use 


Here is an example.

As of right now I'm using liblouis to do the translation as I have no idea what will end up in the next OS for braille support.
Anyone interested in this? Should I bundle up all the bits and release it? Should I wait until the OS has the braille translators and then do it?
