I've never used braille but the situation I was envisioning was a blind person on the tube, receiving a message, they can listen to it with earphones plugged in, but may not want to speak the response out loud.
In this case they would type the message using this keyboard, and could have it read back out loud to check it.

I know a blind guy at work and he is almost entirely using text-to-speech to drive his cell phone and computer. When you overhear it, it's just lots of menu options and webpage text being read off super quickly at 200+% speed.
