a great very small under $1000 braille display is the braille pen put out
by flying blind..larry lewis--so easy to pair---actually the easiest to
pair and I teach many tools. I love this little thing--quick and easy
You can reach Larry at: larry.lewis at flying-blind.com
I know he would be happy to help you
