I am trying to do the above. I cannot get the iPhone to pair with the braille pen, even though the Bluetooth chip on the braille pen says it is working and the iPhone is discoverable. Has anyone done this? Does anyone know anything about the braille pen in terms of custom set up Bluetooth

I might solve my Bluetooth issue if I stick with the wireless neckloop and use a clip on mic as the path of least resistance. Would like suggestions on decent mics. USB mics no but a wireless mic that uses a USB transmitter is fine. From E.T.'s Keyboard... Are We Alone in the Universe?
