part of the admin section, and maintained by Mario Lang

This package contains : Access software for a blind person using a soft
braille terminal.

BRLTTY is a daemon which provides access to the Linux console (text mode)
for a blind person using a soft braille display.  It drives the braille
terminal and provides complete screen review functionality.

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 libbrlapi.  A static library, header files and
documentation is provided in package libbrlapi-dev.
