Re: [Emacspeak] Installing BRLTTY

I did it once a long time ago. From what I remember, the only way to get BRLTTY to work on Mac OS is to compile the code on your own. This will not be straightforward though.

As Jason suggests though, it is probably better to subscribe to the BRLTTY list and ask there.

Please keep in mind that there is no dependency or interoperability between BRLTTY, Emacs and/or Emacspeak.

I would suggest subscribing to and asking on the BRLTTY mailing list. I
don't know whether compiling for MacOS has been tested recently.

You might also be able to use the Braille support in VoiceOver for MacOS
alongside Emacspeak, turning speech off in VoiceOver. In either case, it
would probably be best to run Emacs in a terminal rather than as a
graphical application (i.e., emacs -nw).
