Hi Gladyth
No, I don't have to pair it each time and yes, it is paired with Bluetooth.
Kind regards,

Do you have to pair the Braille Sense every time you want to use it and does
it have Bluetooth?

Hi Gladyth
I use a BrailleSense Plus 32. I have it paired with my iPhone, but don't
read Braille on iOS too often unless it is with the Kindle app. I have
never tried this on Android though, so can't comment on usability.
Kind regards,

What Braille displays and notetakers are people using and how many braille
cells in the displays. I am interested in a device that writes in grade 2
braille on iOS.

The score with it and braille is that it doesn't support many displays,
it doesn't [to my knowledge] have a UEB table, and you cannot disable
speech while using braille. All somewhat annoying, but I don't use
braille very much, so I am fine with it.
