Can I use a Braille display with my iDevice? If so, which models work?
Yes, any iDevice that runs VoiceOver can support a large variety of bluetooth Braille displays. Common ones include Humanware's BrailleNote Apex, HIMS' Braille Sense line (some of them, at least), and many stand-alone displays from Alva, Baum, Freedom Scientific, and other companies. Please see this page for a complete list of supported displays.

Once again, Santa has enlisted the help of the elves at the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) Jernigan Institute to get Braille letters out to hundreds of blind boys and girls this Christmas season. Between November 15 and December 20, parents can go online at www.nfb.org and fill out a Santa Braille Letter request form. The form can also be printed and faxed to (410) 685-2340. Beginning December 1, the Braille letters from Santa will start going out to boys and girls around the country. The Braille letter will also be accompanied by a print copy (for mom and dad to read), and parents can choose the contracted or uncontracted form of Braille for the letter. Requests for letters must include the writer’s name, the child’s name, birthday, gender, mailing address, and a telephone number or e-mail address in case Santa’s helpers at the National Federation of the Blind have questions.
For more information, please read the official press release.
