My display has a Braille keyboard and I also have a qwerty plugged into the
pi. The qwerty works as expected. The Braille keyboard isn't working as
expected. On the Braille keyboard, backspace and enter work, but typing
letters doesn't produce letters.

Kelsey,
Not quite clear about what you're doing. BRLTTY only supports braille input
if your display has a braille keyboard or equivelent. So far as I know you
can not "braille" using the regular qwerty keyboard with cording.
If your regular qwerty keyboard doesn't except standard typing then
something is weird and you should contact the brltty developers.
hope I've got that correct! <GRIN>

Finally got the command prompt and now the display works, but inputdoesn't
work the way I expect. I can't simply start typing. Enter and backspacespeech
work and commands do things, but how do I simply type? What am I missing?

Brltty is itsself a screen reader for text mode. which also supports
output using speech dispatcher and espeak.Pi
If you installed it and brought it up and have no command mode prompt on
your display, perhaps you didn't
select your display You should find a file called brltty.conf, though not
sure where it is on the pie.
In that file is a list of displays and designations to use with brltty's
"device" command to select your display.
The brltty documentation is thorough.
Hope that helps a bit
