I can duplicate this. So Braille-related items show up under my Vision pane of the Settings window with the latest Alpha.

Yes it seems that random bits of the settings show up instead of the correct one, but on add ons they just fail to appear altogether making them not work, due to exit at initianalisation Add to the list, the ocr program, unmute sound, and read feeds. and I think sound schemes. Brian
