Apple today released Braille Display Update 1.0.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard includes a powerful screen reading technology for the blind called VoiceOver that supports a variety of refreshable Braille displays. When you have a supported Braille display connected to your computer, VoiceOver automatically detects it and sends it information about what is displayed on the screen. This installer adds support in Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard for the following additional refreshable Braille displays:
• GW Micro BrailleSense
• GW Micro SyncBraille 20
• GW Micro SyncBraille 32
• HandyTech Easy Braille
• HandyTech Braille Star 40
• HandyTech Braille Star 80
• HIMS BrailleSense
• HIMS SyncBraille 20
• HIMS SyncBraille 32
• Nippon Telesoft Seika Version 3

This thread is going to straight to hell. I can’t believe my eyes.

Or the halt leading the blind.
“I bet it works better than the Vista equivalent.”
Quite honestly, ANYTHING works better than Vista.
my computer “FEELS” much snappier now.
I didn’t see this one coming.
Real good thing… but that should be more obviously said in the medias!… None of the blind people i met know that brail works on Mac!! All are absolutely conviced that a Mac can be of NO use for a blind person!
Apple, go and do some decent advertizing about that!!
