Does anyone use Android with the screen reader and a Braille display? Is it any good, and does it get improved every so often? (self.Blind)

I’m just curious, what are the differences between Voicw Assist and Talkback?

Talkback is a good screen reader but it receives little in the way of updates beyond bug fixes. Android uses Brailleback for Braille support. Talkback is good. Brailleback is not.
Don't use Brailleback. Not worth the hassle.
Get an iPhone if you want to use Braille.

Am I able to type braille on the screen using talkback the way iPhone users can, or am I SOL? Just paid off my iPhone and looking to the future

Nope. Not a thing on Android. As far as I can tell brailleback only supports external displays

BrailleBack rarely receives improvements and is not even close to being a comparable experience to using VoiceOver with a braille display.
