Brltty is a generic Braille display driver which is available on many different

operating systems (Windows, OSX, Linux, BSD at least) and supports a very

large number of Braille displays.

It can be used with applications such as NVDA to provide support for displays

for which NVDA itself has no specific driver.

The results are not always as complete as you might get with a specific driver

between the application and the display (for example, some features of the

display may not be supported), but it's a good way to get basic functionality

for a device which otherwise can't be used at all.

Antony.
