Change VoiceOver Braille settings (Braille Access tab) in VoiceOver Utility on Mac
Use the Braille Access tab of the Braille category in VoiceOver Utility to customize your settings.
To open VoiceOver Utility, press Command-F5 to turn on VoiceOver, then press VO-Fn-F8.
To navigate the different tabs in Braille, press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key after you hear “Braille” until you hear the setting you want to edit—like Braille Access.
