Of course reading with dots 7 and/or 8 is harder, but if well implemented that’s actually a good thing; for example, BRLTTY uses those dots to indicate capitalisation and attribute, respectively, with both for a system cursor (one cell). OS X on the other hand has exactly one caret style, a blinking dot 8, and exactly one cursor, both 7 and 8, which covers the entire cursor. Very, very, very annoying, and it just maddens me to turn it off and end up with no indicator at all.
Braille users use braille in different ways. I think supporting Apple’s current mode, as well as a full-screen mode, would be acceptable to me, as would a “Speech box” mode as seen in for example Supernova and in concept very similar to iOS. Bonus points for a “Literary” braille mode, again as seen in Supernova, for the reading of beautiful text using correct formatting and indentation conventions of braille literature. Different strokes for different folks and all that. But right now, you only have the one mode that always moves the VO cursor, and it doesn’t work all that well with speech turned on I’m afraid. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
