So you installed without braille?

nothing? You wrote below:

What is true? When you say "orca saying", do you mean as audio feedback,
or as written on the device? Or is the device really completely blank
with only spaces? Details always matter.
Also please try to type control-alt-f2 to see if the device shows
something there.

Which display is it exactly?

Please do not hide such precious information as the usb id, we need it
to be able to tell whether it really is supported or not (and it's
really not personal information, it's the same for all the devices of
the same kind).

That is a possibility indeed, possibly you need to perform some switch
on the device to make it recognized as display and not only as keyboard.
Note that lsusb only tells what hardware is there, not what is getting
driven by something.

No, Orca does not need xbrlapi to be able to output braille.
