Currently it's not possible to have something announced but have something else shown on a refreshable braille display unless you try to do some hack with aria-live, etc. So if you had a math equation that was written in a certain way such as written out as words but you wanted to have it displayed in braille using UEB math or Nemeth it would not be possible. As mentioned the new aria-braillelabel attribute which I doubt is supported by assistive technology hopefully will solve this issue at some point in the future.
