Braille on Apple Products

Is it possible to use a braille display over USB on IOS or iPad-OS by connecting it with a lightning to USB adapter that can be found on amazon? This may provide a more stable connection. Does voiceover support braille displays over USB?

Hi, has anyone here successfully used a Braille Display to learn foreign languages on apple products? I'm seriously considering one, as I need it for a college French class. My question is, would the display automatically display the proper braille code while reading a document?

Hello everyone. i am a access technology instructor in training and was wondering. While watching a video with a refreshable braille display, does the text from the video display on the braille device using a YouTube application on a iPad.

Hi to everyone,
I am new to this forum so sorry if this has been discussed before.
I am a fairly new IPhone user and due to the fact that I have limited manual dexterity I use an Orbit reader to control my I phone.
Now, I want to make myself a diary of what I am doing and where as I struggle to use Seri and the calendar app with my braille display, so I would like a word processor of some sort, that would allow me to save the document in Drop box and edit it on the iPhone add events ETC.

Hello all. For the time being do to a hearing loss I'm having to use my phone paired with my Braille note touch plus. Using voiceover is rather difficult because it sounds all muffled, no matter the voice I try. While I figured out a few things with navigating my phone completely from my braille dispay, there are still some things I can't figure out. I'm using a Braille note touch plus paired with an iPhone SE second generation. Here are the things I'm having trouble with. One, accessing my notifications. Two, accessing the asp switcher.

I am using iOS 11. When I type on my phone with the print on-screen keyboard, auto-correct catches my spelling mistakes. However, when I use my external braille keyboard, my mistakes remain with no correction. In previous iOS verssions, brailleing auto-corrected. Can I do this, or is this not an option anymore?

Hi All
When I try to fix a typing error in my text, e.g. mind instead of kind, the display locks up after I type the new letter and there is a six dot character at each end of the display. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere? Braille sense U2 with iPhone 5S.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi, all. I just installed Parallels on my Mac Mini M2 running Mac OS 14.6. I'm not yet ready to jump to Sequoia. My Mac side of things sees the Brailliant BI40X, but Jaws 2024 on Windows 11 Home does not. I unload VoiceOver, restart Jaws, but no Braille comes up on the display. Is anyone else able to switch between operating systems on Mac using a Braille display? I have another display that I could use with the Windows side of things if needed. I was just hoping to be able to use the same display and switch between operating systems. Maybe that's too much to hope for?

is it possible to have a 40 cell braille display (or multiple displays even) show two different things (like how a sighted person can have two windows next to each other). my thought is that if i have my uni assignment on one side and the reference material on the other, so that i'm not constantly changing windows back and forth.
I saw on apple support that you can make multiple braille displays show the same thing, but this isn't quite what i'm looking for.
thanks

Hi, I'm thinking of typing Braille on an iPhone, and I installed Braille pad for that. But when I turn landscape mode on and select writing and start writing like I would in a brailler, nothing happens, it just clicks on random buttons located on the main page of the program. Any help? And sorry about my English.

Hi all,

I got my iPhone SE a few days ago, having gotten an iPad about a year earlier, and I was testing out some features on my new phone to see how they work. It appears that, unfortunately, Braille screen input is strange and nearly unusable on the SE. I am using Braille screen input comfortably and effectively on my iPad.

Could anyone give me some pointers on how to properly use Braille screen input on an iPhone SE?Thanks!

Sincerely,
MaddyR

Hi, all. Perhaps I'm missing something, but my Mac mini M2 Pro doesn't see my Brailliant BI40X as a storage device as it does on Windows. Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to be able to transfer files to and from the display to my Mac. Thanks for any advice.

Hello everyone, I found out that one can use iphone build in keyboard to type braille characters, however, I can't get it working. For instance I know that ]in french ç are dots 1-2-3-4-6 or é dots 1-2-3-4-5-6, however, I don't know which braille keyboard to select, I tried 6 dots braille I tried contracted braille and I changed to french voice before typing, however, it did not seem to work out. Same thing can be said about spanish keyboard where for instance letter´ñ are dots 1-2-4-6. Same can be said for russian keyboard where letter shch are dots 1-3-4-6.

Has anyone experienced problems reading in iBooks since the upgrade using your braille display? I feel like even though I have US english braille selected, it looks more like unified english. I see this in no other reading app. Also, it aggravates me that when you turn pages in iBooks, the display doesn't always land at the beginning of the page. And when I select a chapter in the table of contents, and don't read the book straight through, the panning left and right between options gets stuck. Never seen problems in iBooks with a braille display like this before.
