Braille support in Indesign and Illustrator

I’ve been using a competing vector program for creating braille signage and wondered if there was any plans on having this be something Illustrator or Indesign could incorporate natively so that I can stop using the other program entirely? 

 

The workflow currently with adobe products is:

go to some conversion web page like brailletranslator.org

paste text in for the conversion, copy results

go back into my Indesign doc using a braille font with a CA Standard paragraph style (that I’ve created)

 

This works for making 1-10 signs, but I’d prefer to have this be something I was able to merge from a CSV file as we typically need to create 100 individual signs at a time--which the competing program will also not do. It does however have a TEXT TO BRAILLE and BRAILLE TO TEXT option from the TEXT menu and a panel that looks a little like this:
