hello,
I would suggest looking at the applevis website. This site has a wealth
of information on this topic. The site can be found at:
www.applevis.com
You can control your iPhone completely with a braille display. Yes the
iPhone can be used in conjunction with a braille display to give you
braille notetaker functionality. What I would suggest is looking into
the Orbit reader 20 which was just released this month. It is a low cost
20 cell display. It is $449.00 which is about a third of the price of a
similar size display.
Regards,
Greg Wocher

bill, I am fairly new to the iphone world. While I understand it is
possible to have iphone function as a braille keyboard, I am not aware
of any ap that would produce braille on your iphone screen. Am
wondering if your friend has any braille notetakers such as braille
sense, braille note apex, or possibly others. I ask because I have
recently discovered how these devices can be interfaced, via
bluetooth, to iphone.

Subject: iPhone As a Braille Note Taker
I have a friend who would like to purchase a Focus 40 Braille note
taker but the cost is ridiculously prohibitive. I’m posting to this
list to ask if anyone can offer a configuration where the iPhone -
using a Braille display — might not offer the same functionality?
Specifically, are there apps that can read the contents of a note or
some other iOS document and present it converted into Braille via a
display.
I must admit, I am Braille illiterate as I lost my sight at age 41 and
haven’t been able to acclimate to Braille. I suspect that my
fingertips were burned badly enough handling heated engine components
when I could see that I haven’t the sensibility in my fingers. So,
when it comes to Braille I’m indeed quite ignorant!
