Braille Access
Overview
Apple describes Braille Access as an all-new experience that turns iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro into a full-featured braille note taker. Apple guidance highlights launching apps from braille input, Nemeth Braille calculations, BRF file support, and Live Captions transcription. Lesson: treat braille as a primary input and output path, not an accessory.
Why it matters
Braille note takers are often expensive and siloed. When braille workflows are not integrated, students and professionals face slower access to reading, writing, and math. Integration reduces tool switching and dependence on sighted assistance. Call to action: design for braille display compatibility, predictable focus order, and no dead ends in core flows.
