[nvda] Re: Braille support in NVDA

The people on the developers' list have  been discussing using brl-API 
from brltty to actually drive the braille displays. I'm hoping my 
liblouis will be used to do Grade 2 in various languages. For more 
information on liblouis and liblouisxml, which is a braille transcribing 
package, see www.jjb-software.com . You can even download a Mac 
application from this site.
