It kind of seems braille support on the Mac is a bit of an after thought.
iOS works quite well.
People have given feedback but it continues to be horrible.
I just hope things improve in the next version of the OS.

Hello Anne.
Sorry for the late reply. I did do what you suggested months ago but
it still kept happening, the combination of letters which I tried to
do timed out. However, I’m waiting for more improvements re braille
on the Mac but so far nothing is happening yet about braille. I wish
it would. I wish braille on the Mac was as good as braille on the I
devices.

Hello Kawal,
Here’s a suggestion how to make it work.
Position your left hand on the computer keyboard with your little
finger on the Command key and your index finger on the letter ‘b’.
Place your right hand on your Braille display. In this way, you only
have to bring your left hand to your right hand after pressing Cmd-b
and you should have time to press the key combination you want.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Anne.
That is my problem, I am not quick enough to sign the commands. It
times out because I am too slow.

Hello Kawal,
To assign a command on a Braille display, press the Assign command
button, then press the Add button.
Press Cmd-b then quickly press the key combination on your Braille
device that you wish to use. You’ll then find a menu button where
you can select the appropriate action.
You have to be quick putting in the key combination on your Braille
display as you only have 5 seconds and the computer makes a sort of
clanging noise for the whole time.
Cheers,
Anne

Last time I tried to assign commands, I could not do it. If
someone can explain how to do it please then that would be
hhelpful as I’d like to use my braille display with the Mac.
Thanks.

Braille displays are highly customiseable on the Mac. Have you
looked at the table of commands for your braille display?

Hi.
Are you connection your braille display through the Voice
Utility menu? You can’t connect it directly through the
Bluetooth menu. You need to select the Voice Utility, VO F8 and
arrow down until you get to braille. I have just connected my
Focus 40 Blue to make sure and it works although i find braille
on the mac not very useful. I wish it was but thus far no work
is being done to change this. Just my opinion.
Kawal.
