Description: Braille Display Driver for Linux/Unix
             BRLTTY is a background process (daemon) which provides access to
             the Linux/Unix console (when in text mode) for a blind person
             using a refreshable braille display. It drives the braille
             display, and provides complete screen review functionality. Some
             speech capability has also been incorporated.
Keywords: refreshable braille display console access visually impaired blind linux unix
