Edit: Got the answer I wanted and made my decision. Thanks.

Question for #blind people who use refreshable #Braille displays routinely: Does anyone run brltty on Windows? NVDA has the option to use brltty, but NVDA's default plug-and-play drivers don't use it. JAWS doesn't use brltty. Narrator does. So does anyone actually use Narrator's Braille feature, or otherwise use brltty on Windows?

Trying to gauge the usefulness and reliability of brltty on Windows specifically.

I used NVDA’s BRLTTY support a few times for testing my BRLAPI server for the Monarch before the Monarch got a Braille terminal, but otherwise I always use NVDA’s native Braille display drivers. I did test out BRLTTY on the terminal as well, but I found that it did not support the new Windows terminal, or at least the only console window displayed was the window BRLTTY was running in. That could have been a configuration issue on my end though. Also NVDA’s BRLTTY driver has very limited support for Braille commands.
