Abstract
The conventional one-line Braille display is explained and discussed in great detail, the emphasis being laid on the ergonomic and software-technical aspects rather than the electronic or the electromechanical ones. Especially closely studied are the deeper aspects of text-based Braille display operation such as video attribute viewing and lightbar handling. In addition, some suggestions to improve present Braille display software are given, especially concerning the recently developed programs to access graphical user interfaces.
