you'd probably have to use text messaging but yes, you can type and what you type will appear on the refreshable braille display. I guess you could use any editting app ut I think there are character limits so you'd have to take that into account. this is a lot like using a computer to do the same thing.

What I want is for anything typed on the iPhone to show up on the braille display and anything typed on the braille display to show up on the iPhone. I've never actually seen an iPhone. Can a blind person type on it? If an app for facee-to-face communication is needed, it should be simple to create. Thanks, John -- John J.
