I'm not familiar with Braille displays, so how does it detect text in 
order to translate it to speech? Femon is drawing text with the same OSD 
methods as the core VDR, so if you can hear VDR's menus, you should be 
able to hear the femon menus also. The default refresh rate is quite 
high, but you can tweak it in plugin's setup menu. So the only problem 
might be the massive amount of infomation shown on current 
configuration.

If I understood you correctly, you'd like to get only essential 
signal/stream information on a simple menu that can be refreshed on 
demand? Now the real question is, what kind of information is essential 
for you?
