Hi Scott, I tried hid also but that does not seem to work on the iphone (by that I mean i tried connecting the brailliant while its protocol was set to openbraille instead of humanware and the channel to bluetooth). I dont think the refreshbraille is sold here in the Netherlands but the himms displays are being sold here nowedays. I did hear though that some himms displays have a bug where braille input/typing is concerned? Not that that would be a big issue for me but still… Greetings, Anouk, > On 2 Nov 2016, at 13:50, Scott Davert <scottslistm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi. > Yes, I've also noticed that the Brailliant display line has had > various issues with Bluetooth connectivity over the past few years. > The newer firmware seemed to be a bit better when using the HID mode, > but I haven't honestly used it enough to really say that it's better > over a longer period of time.
