Any Advice on Setting up the NLS e-Reader Humanware Braille Display with iOS / iPad OS?

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

I received the NLS e-reader 20-cell HumanWare Braille display, today.

It's adorable.

Any advice about setting it up with iOS / iPad OS? I assume it should be
rather straight-forward, right?

Of course, I will read the included user guide but wanted to avoid any
growing pain by consulting with those of you already using it.

By the way, is there a email support list for the reader?

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark

Read the manual on bard. That should help you get it set up
correctly. The DB number is dbc24650.

Hey I do have the e-reader and will gladly be able to help you if you’d like what I had to do was go to where it says connections when you turn on the braille display and then I had to go to my iPhone go to the voiceover settings within the settings app go to braille and search for the e-reader there and then double tap on that and it should automatically Connect I don’t recall if I had to put in a special pin but definitely worth looking over the manual and yes it is pretty straightforward. If you have any more questions regarding the E reader feel free to reach out and I’ll be able to help you. As for a dedicated list I was told that there wasn’t an actual e-reader list for email but like I said if you need any help I can help you with it. I also own a a HumanWare Brailliant BI X 40, which actually operates similarly to the EReader.

Hi Mark. If you ask your library they should subscribe you to the NLS Ereader newsletter. If they don't, I can find the subscription information for you, but for all intents and purposes they should connect you with it.


I use mine with my Iphone all the time.

I connect it like any other braille display, go to accessibility, voiceover, braille, and when it shows your display it should say NLS Humanware Ereader with a number after it. I then go to bluetooth and make sure it's showed up in there, sometimes you have to turn that off and on to get it to see it, but I haven't had to do that since the last couple updates. Now when I go to braille display on the ereareader, and to connected displays, it will say, HP Users Iphone with the six dots after the word iphone, and that is how you know you're connected. Usually It won't show those cells up right away and I press enter, and then it connects. I had lots of trouble getting it to connect a while back but haven't had any problems with it for a long time.


I hope this helps you, if not let me know.


Take care,

Patti
