Summary

Provide Braille output support that Just Works.

Rationale

Synthetic speech output works quite well by default on Ubuntu via Orca and Festival or Speakup and eSpeak. Some visually impaired users prefer to use Braille, and sometimes speech output is not an option.

Use cases

Scope

Provide simple and independant use of braille devives on the Live CD and through the install.

Design

  • Add a Braille option to the F5 Live menu.
  • Design a simple setup system for Braille devices. USB ones can generally be auto-detected, but serial devices require configuration.
