Braille on Apple Products

I want to be able to read Bookshare books in Braille off the NLS Display and I don’t know what apps are supported? Is read2go still available?
Thanks

also try speech central. This and those posted above post all will do what youwant. Read2go is no more. I still have it on my iPhone, but it may not be able to migrate to a new phone. Of all of these programs listed, voicedream reader is my personal favorite. If you also need newspapers, then dolphin easy reader would be the one you should consider.

I honestly preferred just using the bookshare web reader when I was mostly using iOS. Just made more sense to me and it's super accessible there.

I have dolphin EasyReader on my iPad but I don’t know how to use it with my Braille display. I wish NLS would directly add Bookshare to their online services.

I like Voice Dream Reader. Also, one other thing you could try. Depending on what display you have. If you download a book to Ipad or maybe computer. Then, unzip, and put it on a USB. stick, or SAID. card and then put that in the display? I know it's a little more involved and complicated. But, you'd get your books. Frankly, I tried Dolphin a while back. And, I was not a fan. Maybe it was because I'd already gotten used to Voice Dream. But, I thought the interface was a bit of a challenge. I listened to the podcast on it, and still couldn't figure it out. So, I just gave up on it. Hope this heps.
