Yes I think so too but unfortunatly as I explaned in my previous message
I don't understand what the TTS says and then without braille it'll be
difficult for me to configure the gnopernicus options through the GUI. 

if you are using Braille with brlapi could you please send me your .xml
file concerning the braille configuration in order I can see if it looks
like mine or not ? thx !
