Use a braille display with VoiceOver on Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro supports many international braille tables and refreshable braille displays. You can connect a Bluetooth wireless braille display to read VoiceOver output, including contracted and uncontracted braille and equations using Nemeth Code. When you edit text, the braille display shows the text in context, and your changes are automatically converted between braille and printed text. You can also use a braille display with input keys to control your Apple Vision Pro when VoiceOver is turned on.
