Hi Terri, I don't use one, but it so happens a friend of mine just told me today she recently ordered an Amazon "Echo Dot". It said "Echo Dot", and she thought that was "Echo" followed by a period (which speech does sometimes says as "dot" when it thinks it's a number or some unusual context". In otherwords, she thought she was getting the full-sized Echo for the $35 sale price, but what came was the mini-sized Echo Dot!
Point being, you can mis-understand with speech (especially when punctuation is involved). I've been thinking I would look at the newest APH bluetooth braille display to hit the market when it was available (I think called the Orbit) because it's supposed to be quite reasonably priced. I've been a speech user all my life, but it is sometimes hard to listen in a noisey environment, or when others are talking to you and you're trying to use your device at the same time.

What are the benefits? What are the disadvantages? Honestly, I've never understood why you would want to do this. I'm not trying to offend anyone here who uses one. I've just never seen the point. But now I am curious. Just to get some hopefully helpful information about this. I was wondering, how can you find out which Braille displays will work with the Iphone?
