Access software for a blind person using a braille display

BRLTTY is a daemon which provides access to the console (text mode) for a blind person using a braille display. It drives the braille display and provides complete screen review functionality. The following display models are supported:

 * Baum
 * BrailComm
 * BrailleLite
 * BrailleNote
 * Cebra

 * Freedom Scientific (Focus and PacMate)
 * Handy Tech
 * HIMS (Braille Sense, SyncBraille)
 * HumanWare (Brailliant)
 * Iris
 * LogText 32

           BraillePen/EasyLink)
 * Tivomatic (Albatross)
 * TSI (Navigator, PowerBraille)
 * VideoBraille
 * VisioBraille

BRLTTY also provides a client/server based infrastructure for applications wishing to utilize a Braille display. The daemon process listens for incoming TCP/IP connections on a certain port. A shared object library for clients is provided in the package libbrlapi0.8. A static library, header files and documentation is provided in package libbrlapi-dev. Bindings to other programming languages can be found in cl-brlapi (Lisp), libbrlapi-java (Java) and python3-brlapi (Python).
