Braille on Apple Products

Hi everybody,
Does scrivener work with a braille display ie can you write documents without the cursor jumping around.
Also how do you insert headings and once you export to word can jaws read them as headings.
Finally can you work on word docs in dropbox and have your edits sync automatically
Many thanks for any tips

Hi. I just got the Chameleon 20 and was looking for a good word processor. I have a Mac and an Iphone. So far I've tried to use Google Docs with almost no success, Pages worked a little better but was far from ideal because my cursor would constantly jump and sometimes my display would go blank and act as if I hadn't written anything. The standard Notes app seems to work pretty well but I don't think I would be able to use it for class assignments because there aren't that many formatting options. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, all!
I'm finally in the market to purchase a braille display for use with my iPhone, and I was hoping to get some thoughts and opinions on the Braille Me, as well as the Orbit Reader. I'm a little more interested in the Braille Me because of the cursor routing buttons, and I can't seem to find any reviews on it online. I'm also interested in hearing about using the Orbit Reader with the iPhone. What you like about it, dislike.

Hi,

We just started using a new Focus 14 with Pages app on I-Pad, for my daughter (Merel) who is 7 and blind.

Can someone help us with a solid and complete manual for use of the Focus 14 ? We've been struggling with the shortcut keys and just don't find the answers we seem to need in the delivered short Focus manual. Support of our supplier is also poor.

Good day to all. is there a way to select text using a Braille display? If so how is this done? I'll be working with a student and want to get as comfortable as possible using iOS with the braillent 40. Thanks.

Hello' I have an iPhone SE and a focus 14 blue blaille display' I have read the manual for using the focus 14 and focus 40 blue braille displays with iOs and there is a command to select text wich I cannot remember right now' How do I edit text using a braille display

Hi,
Up until a few months back, I could send a message while using braille screen input by performing a 3 finger flick up.
I have noticed that this function has stopped working in ios 17. Is any one else experiencing this behavior?

For the past few days, I have been experiencing a major bug with my iPhone, iOS 15.2.1, and my Brailliant BI40X. Sorry, I can't remember which iPhone model I have. It is on the newer side, but is not the latest and greatest. It does not have a home button. Anyway, often when I am writing a message with my braille display, and either turn speech on or off using space with M, the braille display freezes, and the phone pretty much freezes as well. Siri will still work, but VoiceOver is extremely sluggish.

Am I correct in assuming that when using Voiceover on an iPod or iPhone, a person can't silence speech and have only braille output? If I'm wrong, how would you do that?

Is there a way to simulate the double tap and hold/drag gesture with a braille display such as the focus 40? I am experimenting with an app that requires the user to drag values up and down to change them. I can do this on the iPad itself, but it would be very handy to be able to do this with the focus 40. Alternatively, I could use a bluetooth keyboard instead if it can be done with that? I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks

Hello group,

Hello Everyone,

Hi everyone!
I've been considering to buy a MacBook air since a week or so. Now, I have some questions about the recent braille support in macOS 10.15 Catalina.
1. How does braille displays work in general? On my iPad Pro, it works very well. I've heard about some issues on the mac, for example that the focus doesn't update if you switch from one to another window.

Hi, I just heard about brailling on an Iphone. How on earth do you position your fingers correctly? Why does pressing dot 4 kick me out of the braille keyboard? Is there a help file somewhere? Thanks

HI again,
when I type with Braille virtual Keyboard on my Iphone after the update, I notece that sometimes it makes a sound, someone knows what it is mean?, and I notice too, what in Email, dalate doesn't work very well, I would like to know if it happens only to me or to the others too, with 13.1 anything changed.

hi all,
I am trying to use a braille display on mac sonoma. Out of the box, I cannot scrol with the buttons to the side of the display to move by 40 cells and when pressing routing keys the cursor moves but as soon as I type it puts letters where my speech was talking last instead of where my braille routing key is. this behaviour is the same with different braille displays and was mostly checked with visual studio code.
Any tips, information or advise? I am new with braille on the mac.
