Thats exactly right. Also I have gotten that "not supported" message even when pairing under voiceover, braille, Choose a braille display. I have seen others post about this; some kind of intermittant bug. Make voiceover forget the device; thats what fixed my pairing problem. Also reboot your ios device. I have to reboot my ipad most days as it starts acting squirrelly after a while.

I attempted to connect my Orbit Reader with IOS on the iPhone 7 with no luck - indeed I got a message that the device is not supported. By chance, I discovered that the only way to connect a braille display to IOS is under Braille in the VoiceOver settings. Have you tried it? If not, then I would love to hear how you get on! You make the Alva discoverable and then set the VoiceOver dialog to search for the device. If it is compatible, it will appear on your screen and you can go ahead and pair it. Even after I successfully paired the Orbit to IOS through VoiceOver, the main Bluetooth connection under settings was declaring that the device was not supported! Apparently it is a glitch of some sort.

I would really like to use the Alva with the iPhone, but alas no bluetooth support! So it occurred to me that perhaps it would only be a matter of broadcasting some sort of adhoc bluetooth signal to make the iPhone think there was a supported braille device, pair with the computer, have the iPhone send the data, have it go through BRLTTY and boom! Bluetooth support for the Alva on the iPhone. Any ideas or suggestions on where to get started? Does the iPhone have any specifications on how braille isplays are paired and what sort of information is sent to them? Has anybody ever done something like this before? I think it would be a fantastic programming project, but I'm not really sure where to begin!
