The short answer is "no", but I have to ask what need are you trying to
meet?

The transcript *should* have the same information as the captions. I am not
familiar with any braille displays (or screen-readers for that matter) that
will automatically track the caption track and update the braille display.
In some respects, I don't even think this is a desirable feature unless
control over how the captions would be presented could be controlled by the
end-user.

Take care,
