Braille on Apple Products

You know how there is a Braille Keyboard Input for the iPhone and iPad? It's already built in.
Is there anything like that for Mac? Is there a way to type like that on Mac instead of having a External Braille Keyboard/Display?
I know about the Braille Writer App for Mac but I want to be able to type like that all the time, not just in one program.
Thanks

Hello All,

I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a Touch bar, I am having a difficult time figuring out how to connect my braille display.
I have a Vario Ultra Braille Display by BAUM. I had read that it was much easier to control the computer fully from the braille display using the PC as compared to using the Mac.

If anyone can be of assistance I would appreciate it. I am running VM Ware Fusion 10 and JAWS 17. I have not used a PC in sometime and am having a difficult time using it with VM Ware Fusion.

Thank you.
Jennifer

Hey there,
I have a Mac and a Mantis. How does the Mantis work when using VMWare fusion?
Does the keyboard and braille output transfer to the VM when in focus, or will it always go to Voiceover?
If the latter, is there a way to switch braille/keyboard input and output to the VM and the windows screen reader?
Ideally, I'd love to use both the braille display and keyboard with both mac and windows.
If I put this in the wrong section, let me know.

Hey all,

As I browse a document with the braille display using the panning buttons or any other key to navigate, it would be nice to have the possibility of instructing the braille cursor to move the keyboard cursor as you pan through the document, like other screen readers do.

hey yall,
using u2 & ipad-mini & sometimes zaggkeys portfolio bluetooth keyboard.
when i am hooked to the ipad & hit space-f to find something is there a way to
repeat that search without retyping the search term?

using the u2 alone i can just press space-f again & the last search term appears,
but that does not happen when the u2 is hooked to voiceover.

one apple support document skys vo-z will repeat the last command,
but i cannot get that to work either.

Hi Everyone,
Firstly many thanks to you all so far.
I have got a bit of a problem with Voice Dream writer in the sense that when I export the documents as RTF or word the headings don't show up even though I've marked them within the Writer app itself and they appear in the outline view. I have emailed Voice dream support to make them aware of the issue but has anyone exsperienced this problem as well?

Hey all, I decided it would be a good idea to post this to see if anyone was having this problem, my friends don't seem to be having this problem. Basically, when I try to use braille screen input, VoiceOver just crashes. Is anyone else having this same problem? I am using an iPhone 5, with iOS 8.1.3

Is it possible to have Voiceover read a piece of content in a different language? I am able to get it to work for JAWS and NVDA, but not for Voiceover (VO).

Here is a quick Codepen for testing... The language of the page is English, and the language of the part is French.

I'm new to Braille Displays, and I've noticed that iOS seems to have things that macOS simply doesn't. in particular, I've noticed that math is displayed differently on both. on the Mac, voiceover displays math as if it were unicode, while not using Nemeth at all. I don't see an option to toggle Nemeth in VoiceOver utility, but its right there on iOS. Why is this?

Hello all!
So I'm planning on reporting an issue to Apple, but before I do this, I'd love some coroboration.

I am currently using OS 11.4 on an Image of late 2017: I have assigned two keys of my Braille display to pan left and pan right. Ina plain text document such as text edit or Word for Mac this is working perfectly, however it does'knt work in mail or Safari. Panning thru a received e-mail message e.G. would display 1 line and then, when panning on, either goes back to the beginning of the current line or even to the beginning of the e-mail message. Reading text in Safari shows similar behavior.

Hi all,

We are developing a braille display keyboard for iPhone and iPad, during development, we found that there is a "delay" between the letter voices out and shows on screen. Let say I'm typing "a" (Dot 1), iOS voices out "a" immediately but then shows it on screen after a few seconds.

Is there any setting in iOS that can change/cancel this "delay" time? If not, do you think this delay is significant for most of the blind people during their typing?

Thanks and regards,
Kevin

In iOS 16.4, we can now read text formatting in Braille. This is most easily noticed in the Books app. To enable it, go to Braille settings in VoiceOver settings, and enable Text Formatting. You'll now see any italics, bold, ETC in your book. This works with apps that present text in a page format, not separating formatting into different elements. Kindle does not appear to show the text formatting to VoiceOver, only the plain text. Safari and other apps put differently formatted text in a different element on the page.

When I connect my brail displays: Braillant Braillenote touch or smartbeetle to my iphone XR 64 gb ios13.4.1 the following weird behavior takes place.
The typing is normal and after typing each word I hear voiceover feedback this word as I have set my tiping feedback to words.
Now, supposing I make a mistake, I hit space 134 or space 7 to delete the characters and correct the word. From that point on, VO stops giving any feedback of words.

So when typing with a braille display VoiceOver announces both the previous word I typed and the word I typed before pressing space. How long has this been a thing? I don't remember this being a bug before. Mind you I haven't used a braille display in a while. Also at least with this Brailliant 14 typing is very jumpy and can cause me to find gibberish instead of what I type. in a long session longer than about 3 sentences.  About text formats
