[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Braille and iOS

[Brown, Debbie]

If you use BARD, you need to search for uncontracted braille books specifically.  There are not very many, and most are kids' books.

If you have an NLS e-reader, you can download books as Daisy books and set your e-reader to uncontracted braille.

Greetings.

I am planning to participate for the first time in the Braille Readers Are Leaders contest under the Adult Category.  I am a Novice Braille reader as I only started learning late in life.

So, I am looking for the best/most efficient way to read Grade 1 Braille via my phone using iOS.

I already have an Orbit Reader 20 Plus connected to my phone and set to Grade 1 output, but I’m wondering which apps allow for the most efficient, hassle-free reading.

I am already subscribed to Bookshare and I do have BARD, Apple Books, Libby and the Kindle app.

Thanking you in advance for any info you may be able to provide,
