To clarify the usage of this feature, braille beginners would benefit a lot.

I'm pretty sure this behavior is intentional. However, I agree that it might be beneficial for beginners to have the speech optionally output the character. Note that also moving by line or scrolling doesn't output speech. I believe that the option as proposed here should also cover these cases.

@Andre9642 just implemented these features in his try build of the addon braille extender. This is great.

This is definitely going to come in handy when learning foreign languages. I will take this this weekend.
