[nvda] Re: Braille support in NVDA

Hi John,
        There may be a few ways to facilitate getting braille support for 
NVDA.  Check out:
http://mielke.cc/brltty/
        This particular project deals with getting braille to work with 
Linux, but there may be many things which could also apply to NVDA.  For 
example,  this project already has had experience with communicating with 
many braille displays.  This would elliminate a lot of the guess work 
involved when trying to interface with various braille devices.  I think 
the whole project is coded in C, so it should be fairly readable source.  
The project team is very approachable and I'm sure would be a great help to 
you.  It does sound like you are very busy however.  Just thought this 
might help.  
Cheers,
martin
