Braille on Apple Products

Hi guys.
Just wondering does anyone know if there's a way to add a transliteration keyboard for languages for braille screen input?
Specificly talking for languages other than english like hindi or gujarati or other languages.

I still can't write anything basic in punjabi, not even read it in braille even if the code apparently exists. The voices now are an okayyy ish first step but for typing it's terrible, a lot of weird tts &&& ... arthefacts. I wonder sometimes why apple even bothered including such obviously incomplete product as shipping software but I can read bits now so it's better than nothing as espeak on ios is a terrible quality tts.

Arabic would like to have a word with Apple, one potentially involving much... physical re-education. Arabic doesn't have any short vowels, at least not written ones. Usually, they're inferred. But in cases where it is of vital importance that the text be read clearly and without mistakes, such as scripture, diacritics can be placed above the letters. Apple completely ignores these, of course, and doesn't have a particularly good lexicon either, which results in a terrible experience for all involved. Diacritics or not.
