Using Braille Access via Voiceover on the Mac, continuation of last podcast re Braille Access on iOS with VoiceOver

About this episode

This episode continues the discussion on Braille Access, focusing on settings in VoiceOver Utility on the Mac and differences from iOS.

In this demo, I mainly point out how to access the Braille Access settings within VoiceOver Utility, point out one difference between iOS/Mac Braille Access, correct my statement aoubt UEB not being on the Mac/Braille Access (which it is), and my my finding of a nifty short-cut for working with BRF files on the Mac inside in the Braille Access menu. For a good review of Braille Access, listen to my last podcast. Woody
