Braille works the same way in Accessible Output. ReaAccess already does 
this using its own code; i.e. it "speaks" to each of the different 
screen readers using the API provided by each screen reader. ReaAccess 
could in theory do the same thing for Braille. However, my point was 
that doing this means that any new screen reader has to be specifically 
supported, whereas using accessibility APIs allows for a standard 
implementation. Also, I think this is the only way on Mac, as I don't 
think there is a way to "speak" to VoiceOver, though I could well be wrong.
