Description
RedReader currently optimizes accessibility descriptions for speech synth users (changing some words for speech-friendliness, adding newlines for pauses, and so on). RedReader should add a setting that disables these optimizations for users of Braille displays given there very limited real estate (single lines at a time of 20–40 characters) or, if possible, use different descriptions for speech and Braille (not sure if Android supports this).
