How to use AXBrailleMapRenderer in SwiftUI to improve UX for braille users
Hello, I am developing an app for MacOS and iOS using SwiftUI and I want to include a better experience for braille display users. Braille display users use VoiceOver to access to the OS and all apps. My problem: I want to show an image with data. I have no problem for VoiceOver's voice output, I use the accessibilityLabel attribute to give information using a speech output channel. But I want to give a better format for braille output channel because deaf and blind users can find problem with the information in the accessibilityLabel value. I found information about AXBrailleMap and AXBrailleMapRenderer but there is not any code sample and I couldn't use AXBrailleMapRenderer. The information in the documentation seems not enough to do anything. I tryed to use with Swift an NSView, a SwiftUI view and a NSView in ObjectiveC but I couldn't get any success. I need to do these tasks: * to Get the dimension of the braille display * to print a custom string in the braille display * to get and to set specific points up and down in the braille display to draw a little icon. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance

Accessible label for braille devices
Hello, I want to improve UX for users who uses braille devices. I am using accessibilityLabel in SwiftUI to show information for blind users but I want to give a better experience for braille users using special characters like a block in braille to draw simple figures. Those characters cannot be spoken by TextToSpeech and that is the reason that I need an alternative of accessibilityLabel only for braille devices. Is this possible in UIKit, AppKit or SwiftUI? I preffer using SwiftUI but I will use anything to get this. Thanks in advance
