Braille displays that work with VoiceOver on your Mac
These refreshable braille displays work with VoiceOver to provide brailled descriptions of onscreen items.
macOS supports these USB or Bluetooth braille displays without requiring that you install additional software. You can connect multiple USB displays to a single Mac so that more than one user can follow along. Learn more about VoiceOver on Mac.
