I've seen them, used in conjunction with DOS. But that was
many years ago. They hooked somewhere into the GPU's output
pipeline (after the GPU, prior to the CRT). A slider on the
side allowed to select which text lines to put on Braille,
one or two lines.

The Braille output was 1x80 or 2x80. For outputs with less
colums, 1x40 or 2x40, an additional horizontal slider was
added.
