OK let's clear up a few things here. First off you can not use libloius tables
in the Mac VoiceOver Braille functions. They will not work. As far as I am
aware there is no consumer method of installing new tables into VoiceOver.
Second, take it from me installing Liblouis and Liblouisutdml on to a Mac is
far from a trivial matter. At best it requires installing XCode and the
Homebrew package installer. At worst it is a nightmare of chasing down
dependencies and modifying compiler scripts. It is not something that the
general consumer would ever want to undertake.
I will state this again as I often do: If someone out there will tell me what
the minimum files are for Liblouis and Liblouisutdml to run on a Mac I would be
more than happy to build an installer that norm humans can use without
requiring them to become programmers. No one has ever been able to answer that
simple question and I'm beginning to think it's because no one really knows
what those file are. Either that or we just want to keep it a mystery so that
no one but our programmer buddies can ever make use of Liblouis.
It's really too bad Liblouis and Liblouisutdml are very good tools when you get
them to work and all manner of interesting applications might be developed but
without a means of getting it installed independent of developer mojo they will
never see the light of day.

Hello,
This is Chenelle,
I am new to downloading tables onto my Mac so I have no idea about how to do
it exactly? I would need step-by-step instructions on how to do so properly.

Hi Chenelle,
We seem to have a Russian table, it's called ru-ru-g1.utb. However I have no
idea how one can download a liblouis table via VoiceOver Utility. Does that
even
make sense? Can someone explain? What is the reason you can't use the table
that
comes with VoiceOver? The VoiceOver on my Mac OS 10.9 supports Russian, so I
assume your version, which is newer, also supports it.
Regards,
Bert

Hello friend
This issue now, I wanted to know was there a brill Russian table out there
that I can download onto my Mac? I have a Mac 2010 with Yosemite and I'm
trying to download the table via my voice over utilities menu and I am not
having any luck with it. So I thought I would email you! To see if there
were
any Russian brown tables I can use to read Russian braille on my mac.
Sincerely, Chenelle thank you so much and have a great day
