Brltty uses ReadConsoleOutputCharacter() to get the text from consoles, I bet mintty does not implement this. Lars thus needs cygwin to be able to run from a standard windows console too. > I have not the faintest idea how to test it Install brltty, and run brltty -b xw When the focus is on a windows console, a window on the top of the screen will show up, representing the output that would show up on a braille device. > and how to see if it works or not. Try to switch to mintty, the window will disappear, because ReadConsoleOutputCharacter will stop working.
