In Debian when I press CTRL+ALT+F3 I am taken to the TTY Failsafe Terminal. I
DO have braille input. BUT I don't have braille input in the GUI or the
terminal when I press CTRL+ALT+T. I'm not interested in inputting characters
per se. It's being able to control the screen reader. To switch braille tables,
and navigate.

Can you explain more precisely what you are doing? Take Debian for
example, the default console when the GUI is running is #7. If you press
control-alt-f3 for example you would go to #3 which should be a text console.
Are you saying nothing is read by BRLTTY?
