The Braille Pen Slim is a very small, braille bluetooth keyboard for iPhone and I suspect Android. It does not have a braille display; just the braille input keys. They are made by a company called Harpo; which I think is in Israel. They also make; or made, a Braille Pen 12, which has 12 braille cells. The newer braille devices are quite a bit snappier I think; but Harry can speak to that since he has both the Orbit Reader and the Braille Slim. HTH, Richard

And it does have dot 7 and adding that makes no difference. I suspect that the firmware has not been updated for a while, perhaps. I have emailed the manufacturers, Harpo, to see what they say.

On my iPhone I go into Settings, general, accessibility, voiceover, Braille and double tap on more information beside my device and then find Siri under Device. No shortcut is assigned to Siri, so I double tap to assign new shortcut and an alert comes up to tell me to press the keys I want to use as the shortcut: I know that Space and dots 2, 4, 5 is not assigned to anything else so I type that. But nothing happens and the alert stays on the screen. If I type something else which is already assigned, the command is executed and I have to stop it. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.
