Anders,
This is why I started this discussion. Its agreed that braille
support in OS X is lacking so there is no need to reiterate that.
Instead, what is needed here are specifics so some of us can test
and then post feedback to Apple. Its not enough to tell them "I have
heard that this and that is broken." If you have examples of what you
consider to be broken or missing or what have you, please share with us.

Hi,
My problem is, i think, a typical european problem as i understand it.
I haven’t worked a lot with Braille, so if this problem is fixed then
all is well. As it is right now, braille repeats just what the speech
says rather like in the structured mode of Jaws. It would be nice if
the braille cursor could work independently of the speech so that i
could investigate typing errors, words i don’t know the spelling of
etc. The braille doesn’t necessarily have to repeat what the speech
just said if i don’t explicitly want this but then it should be an
option in the rotor or something to that effect.
These are my two gripes about the braille and it’s what i have heard
from some people here in Sweden as well. What i mean by that this is
an european problem is that it seems europeans want a more independent
braille while in the U.S this isn’t or mostly isn’t the case. If this
is all wrong i stand corrected and apologize to the list in advance.

My biggest problem is that I cannot read formatting information, like
italics and bold. For example, on a webpage, if something is
/italicized/, VoiceOver just puts it in a new element, and doesn't
show that it is formatted any differently in braille. Another problem
is that we can't change the fact that braille shows more than the
voiceover cursor, and the only way to know what truely is in the
cursor is to have the annoying dots 7 and 8 showing.

I am posting a new thread in the hopes of starting a "focused"
discussion of the braille support in OS X.
What I mean by "focused" is this. What exactly, specifically, are
the shortcomings of OS X's braille support. I need to know this for
two reasons. One, to better use this personally, and two, to better
communicate it to Apple. Many of you have your gripes with this but
it will be more effective if we can stay on track.
I am not as proficient as I would like to be with both braille and
OS X so please lets not deviate from the mission. This is about
braille support in OS X. Thanks.
