Hi Everyone,

Is braille support comparable to the experience on Mac or iOS?

Yes, the braille support is quite similar to iOS. You can use almost the same commands (e.g. dot 4 CHORD or dot 1 CHORD in order to navigate element by element) and activate the selected item by pressing a router key. You can also look up all commands assigned to your braille display. To do so, head over to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille on your Apple Watch or watch app. When the support was originally introduced in watchOS 7.2, it's been not possible to change the set of keystrokes; I don't know if Apple has already changed this behavior.

I don't have a watch, but I wouldn't think you could put to many characters on a small screen like that.

It can be basic Braille support, but it's there. I want to try in myself, it's interesting me to use my Braille Display on Apple Watch.
