    I have no idea, but here is some information from Oracle on Orca:

    https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01...675/ats-2.html

    Braille is supported through BRLTTY and is tightly integrated with Orca. BRLTTY offers support for nearly every refreshable Braille.

    Also, Orca fully supports contracted Braille output.


    The Gnome help pages on Orca:
    https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/


    There is also brltty, which is a daemon specifically designed to drive a braille reader:

    and maybe read this on special distributions for the blind:
