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

Thu May 15 12:03:29 UTC 2025

Hi, Justin,

None that I know of.

With the cost of braille displays being what they are, they would be close to the cost of a notetaker.

The selvas notetakers have a dedicated Bible app developed by Selvas. One can also download the play store version of a number of Bible apps. The one that works, thus far, is the YouVersion Bible app.

I personally use Bibles I have either downloaded from Bookshare, Optimus, or the Bartimeus Alliance sites.

While I keep my Bible files, I have created a single-page working Bible document I use with my own markup. I've done this with five different versions.

sent by Judy from the Selvas braille Android tablet
"Embrace each day with His mercies and blessings!"
