I am concerned about the struggles that I and others have been having lately using braille displays with the iphone. My braille display used to work well, but lately has been getting stuck and not connecting. I hope this will be addressed in subsequent IOS updates. I do not believe this has to do with any particular display since I have heard similar comments from people using many different models.
I got an iPhone 11 a few days ago and love it. I upgraded from iPhone SE 2020. I only have one issue and it is that braille screen input is not working very good. I am writing this on my laptop.
okay, I always use bsi on my phone but lately I have had it inserting inserting things like the common sign when I am trying to erase something period currently relying on dictation because I don’t know how else to do period all over the place period need hel
sometimes it interesting is that I don’t want to enter which is very frustrating period how can I fix this? inserting
My iPod, iPhone and iPad will no longer connect to my Focus 14 Braille display. My husband did some research and found that others had the same problem after iOS 12.2. I now use 12.4 and am still having the same problem. I really hope this is fixed in iOS 13.
I've been having issues with MBraille when I use it in the messages and mail apps. More and more, it's crashing and I have to close the app and start again.
I'm running iOS 9.31, and using an iPhone 6 s plus.
I sent feedback to the developer, but haven't gotten any kind of response. This is disappointing, as this isn't a cheap app. Very much worth the money when it works properly, but lately it's not working that well.
Anyone else having issues? Any ideas for work-arounds out there?
I am using a braille display for many things and now turned it on tonight. The problem is that it doesn't write what I say and the display iss healthy and new, so is there a way to fix this? It writes strange symbols. I have tried the spanish, swedish and english tables and it is all the äame. It is set on input six dots and output six dots.
Hello all. I am enjoying, the Braille input on ios 8.4. There are some minor bugs that need to be fixed, but I have almost no problem typing English text in grade 2. I had started to test other languages like Japanese and Korean. Unlike English input, some characters were less responsive. I found specific characters I could only enter with uncontracted Braille as well. Has anybody discovered any foreign language problems? I also would like to know where I can report issues like this
Thanks,
Hi,
This could be user error on my part, because I haven't used my braille display for a while. After I pair my Focus 40 Blue to my iPhone XR and turn off either the phone or display, I need to totally pair it again. How can I diagnose why the display won't connect when I turn it on? I've tried turning the display on both before and after I turn my phone on.
I am a blind user of the Kindle app, which I use with my Iphone 5S and my Focus 14 Braille display keyboard. Up until recently, I was able to go to a specific page number or location in a book by simply pressing the Mode button on my Braille unit from the table of contents page. Now, when I hit the mode button to select the appropriate page link, I am kicked out of the book and put back to the menu.
What suggestions do you have? If this is a problem with the new update?
Hey all, for those of you who read Kindle with a braille display. Have you noticed in the latest kindle update, it randomly removes spaces between certain words? I'm not sure if you notice this using VoiceOver voices or what, but in braille it's very noticeable. Anyone know a fix for this or am I just going to have to wait until the next Kindle app update? Thanks!
I am struggling to learn braille. Not so much learning the alphabet, but feeling the bumps correctly. I have got some of the way through the fingerprint course and I have a few labels around the house.
But I'm wondering - is tech a viable way to try to learn braille? I have never used a braille display but I did feel a couple at Sight Village last year. I liked the feel of the Orbit ones in particular as they felt much clearer than paper.
I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing or not, but when using braille screen input on any device, letters and full words in print appear between the braille dots on screen. Given that I (and most of us probably) use this mode in screen away, I find that not being able to turn this off is unacceptable. And no, screen curtain is not a solution; I have some sight and it is beyond inconvenient to turn my screen off every time I want to send a text or do a search.
Hi everyone,i know that it’s not the right place to write this,but i am trying to learn finnish language and if someone can teach me finnish letters in braille i’ll be forever grateful. Can someone help me please?
I want to understand the difference between System and Liblouis Braille table particularly in relation to Braille Screen Input using Unified English Braille.
In iOS 18, Braille Screen Input got a major overhaul. One of the main new features is Command Mode. This allows you to navigate your phone while never leaving Braille Screen Input.
If you are like me and have never used a Braille Display, you are not going to automatically know the commands that can be used.
Please find below a list of commands that can be used while in Command Mode of Braille Screen Input. I have tested all of the below commands to make sure they work. But please know that since I have never used a Braille display, I might have missed some.
Hi
Just purchased the BrailleOne 20 Braille Display and thus far liking it more and more as I explore and use. What I cannot find though, is the shortcut key combination for battery level. Please assist?
