Hello!
Actilino together with a rpi is a neat solution when you need a
lightweight backpack. I've tried that combination, and for the most, it
works great! However, I miss the possibility to perform the Home and End
keys, for instance in Mutt to go to the first (which is not a problem,

I frequently need to start and stop the BRLTTY service on my Android
device. I thought I could use Tasker, an Android automation tool, for
that. My approach is to make a widget on the start screen that toggles
BRLTTY on/off. However, it seems that I cannot find the BRLTTY service

Hi!
I too use the cursor up/down functions. They are very important if you for
instance use an Active braille without an external keyboard.

I'm working on a project where I need to be able to quickly distinguish
between normal letters and braille patterns in the range 0x2800-0x28FF on
the braille display, with BRLTTY in the console. On
my system, 0x2801 is displayed as dot 1, like a normal a. It's ok if it's

I had to reinstall my Windows pc at work. Previously I used BRLTTY and

Hi, Mario!
I'm curious ablut your request. In Norway the braille authority group is

no-breaking space. Why would a braille reader like

Do you happen to also be responsible for the raspbian version of BRLTTY, do you
have a corresponding package for that distro?

Hi!
I'm using a Handy Tech Modular Evolution 88 braille display. I noticed
that B1+B8+Left/Right didn't activate braille input, as expected. I can
fix this by creating a local table addition, but maybe it should be set
in the defaults for convenience.
Thanks in advance

Hi list!
A friend of mine has an Orbit writer, which is a small braille keyboard.
When connected to BRLTTY, it's detected as an Orbit reader 20.
He has successfully connected the keyboard to BRLTTY for Android.
The problem is to enter the preferences menu, so that he can lower the

I've tried BRLTTY on Widows 11 with a Handy Tech Modular Evolution 88

Thank you for pointing this out. On Windows 11, I've only tested BRLTTY 6.6
with a Handy Tech Modular Evolution braille display in cmd (console). I'm only
able to get it working if I start cmd as administrator. Otherwise I get
permission errors.
