I remember at my first proper job being asked to assist a blind man to get his computer working as he wanted it to, he worked in a different department and it was fascinating to see him interact with the computer.
He allways had the screen reader on at a low volume and mostly had normal computer issues, he had fitted some extra bumps on the keyboard to make it easier to navigate.
I even helped him as he remoted in and needed his RSA token reset, that was the one thing I remember that he couldn’t manage alone and he had his wife read him the numbers off of the token, other than that, I don’t remember him having any extra issues with the computer.
Anyway, I helped him install a mechanical braille display, I still don’t understand how it enabled him to navigate windows, or perhaps he just used it for documents…
Anyway, until then I had no idea about braille displays.
