Re: Orca outputCharAttributes is speech only?

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Mike,

Orca currently has a succinct and a verbose Braille mode.  For a 
deaf-blind user (or some other use cases), a "Braille exclusive" mode 
might be interesting, where the Braille user interface is driven as if 
it is the only output modality.
