Hi,
Long story short: it is possible with a bit of hacking. If I remember,
you'll need to have a recent version of "screen" (4.9), compiled from
sources with a patch applied to make the screen region visible to Brltty.
After that, you can compile Brltty (after cloning the Git repository),
and start both programs as root to make them work.
I found several issues while doing this though:
- If your braille display is supported by Apple's VoiceOver, it's much
harder for Brltty to take ownership of it.
- Sometimes, Brltty fails to insert keys and keep printing "screen is
initializing..." on the braille display. I guess this has something to
do with the IPC communication with Screen, but I did not have enough
time to investigate.
It won't solve your issue, but I found it easier to have Brltty running
on a Raspberry Pi model (plugged to the Mac for power supply), and
ssh-ing to the Mac to have a much reliable experience.
Cheers,
Yannick

I have the same question. Hope to find a way to make it working on a Mac.
At the moment I use it with an ute virtual machine.
