Does anyone have any tips for getting a braillesense OnHand to work better with my IPHone 6? I have paired it and it is showing braille but when I am trying to scroll the display with the scrolling buttons, I have to press them several times in order for the display to actually scroll. Similarly when I am typing letters, I have to press a letter several times for it to show up. I have 8-dot braille set in voiceover settings for both input and output. anything else I am missing?
I am hoping someone can help me.
I have a Braille Sense U2, an iPhone 5S, a MacBook Air, and an iPad 4.
Previously, I was able to pair my Braille Sense U2 with both my phone and my iPad. The other day, I attempted to pair it with the Air, but, after several attempts had no luck.
Figuring I was doing something wrong, I decided to go back to the Braille Sense/iPad combination that had been working. I am now receiving a message that says "Braille Sense U2 is not supported."
Is anyone else having this issue since iOS 7.1? What do I do?
Prior to the last IOS 9 update, I had no problems with several things when pairing my IPhone 6 with my Brailliant 32 BI display. One issue I probably resolved by bringing the display up to the current firmware update. But the problems did not go away completely. I discovered that when attempting to use either the email app or the message app, rather than the display being able to focus on the field I directed it to (in spite of the presence of the cursor on the display that usually means it is focused on where I wanted it to be), it was actually focused on the on-screen keyboard.
Hi all,
I have a focus 40 Blue and two of the dots are stuck in the up position. So for example, when I turn on the display it should say "Focus 40." But because of these two dots that won't move it says "focus WZ." I just sent it back for repair last month when the intire display went out. I would like to avoid having to do this again if at all possible. Does anyone know any tricks that may work to fix this? If so pplease let me know!
Thanks so much,
Holly
I would like to have your opinions about the braille evolutions in osx:
Since the introduction of braille in 10.5, only a few changes are made:
adding more supported displays in 10.5.x
adding more braille-tables in 10.6.x
and I believe in 10.7: a few configuration-options to configure the popup-messages.
If I remind well, this is all.
Since I use my macbook air in a cours I follow, I discover that it’s very hard to use osx without speech.
Some difficulties I discover:
Hello everyone. I recently purchased the new QBraille XL. But it is my first braille display and I'm having trouble learning how to use it.
Has anyone here tried it and could help me, or do you know of anyone who give online training on the use of braille displays?
I'm having trouble connecting to my iPhone and my Mac, via bluetooth, because apparently is has two types of connections (one for the keyboard and one for the display itself) and they don't work in conjunction for me.
Hello,
I am interested in your experience using the QBraille XL from Hims. If you have used it what do you find as the pros and cons?
Does the hybrid keyboard work out well with iOS?
What is the quality of Braille like? I know this is subjective so overall if you have used any other displays how does it compare, e.g., versus recent generation Focus displays?
Thanks for you rinsight.
Hello' earlier on, it was possible to play using shortcuts in the browser version of the playroom with a keyboard, such as the e key for checking how many cards you have' this no longer works but I logged in using my focus 14 blue braille display' I discovered that it was possible to for example press the e key' the problem is that it doesnt register the e key until I press the space bar, thus drawing a card' Does anyone know a workaround for this
I know the key command to move apps on a braille is dots 3-6-7-8. How do you get it to let go of the app? How can I move apps to folders with the braille display? I use a Focus 14 blue with an iPad Mini. It's great to be able to delete apps with the braille display.
I've recently got a braille sense on-hand, and it has an option to use it as a braille display for your Mac or iOS device. Now this sounds quite interesting to me, and this might sound a stupid question but what is the benefit of using a braille display?
Before the comments start, I'm not saying it's a pointless function in any way, but the way I look at it at first it means carrying 1 more device around and surely it takes longer to read rather than listen?
As I said these are just my first impressions of it so, what do you find are the benefits of using your braille display?
Hello all,
When I have my Orbit reader connected to my iPhone 10S I notice the cursor blinks all the time. Is there a way to stop this from happening? It is driving me nuts.
Hello all,
I am currently attending college and preparing to take an Arabic class next semester. As it turns out, I will have to teach myself the Arabic braille code and I remember a small issue I encountered last semester while taking my upper-level Spanish classes. During the classes, I used my braille display to read my Spanish material and, for the most part, it worked well.
Hi all,
wondering if anyone knows the answer to this, I have now set my braille screen input to use UK braille instead of unified braille,
today I wanted to get a plus sign in a text message, but I couldn't get this to work in either contracted or 6 dot braille, to do my plus sign I did dot 5 and 6, then with no space I then pressed dots 1 and 2 with dot 5, a lower f basically.
anyway I didn't get my plus sign, I got a semicolon and an exclamation point, is there problem with braille screen input and maths symbols?
Hi there. I was just using my iPhone 6's with a Braille Display. Since I was using a Braille Display and didn't need the on-screen Keyboard how can I bring it back? Particularly how can I bring it back without using the Braille Display in a Text Field?
I currently own a brailleNote apex, and use that as my notetaker and reading device. At some point, I intend to get away from the dedicated notetakers, and just use a braille display with an iPad. Here's my question. One of the things I do most with my notetakers is read books. I utilize the auto-advance aspect of the braille display, so the display advances on its own, at the speed I select. Is this possible using an iOS device?
