[Faith-Talk] Reading the Bible on a Braille Display

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Tina,

I have the BS6 I read with, but I can also download YouVersion on the BS6 and use it that way too, although I honestly find it easier and quicker to navigate using the unit as a display with the app open on the phone rather than on the BS6 itself.  I haven't tried all aspects of using the app on the unit itself.

Plus each unit may react differently.

I usually go through the daily guided scripture it has, with a devotional and its scripture.

If you whonestly want to read the braille Bible with your device, I would download one from Bookshare, I think you'll have a more consistent reading experience that way.

Judy

Hi Judy.  How do you use the you verson app with your braille display on
your phone?  Write me privately if you like,  I'd like to be able to do
that on my pixel.  with other content too.  Tina
