Using Dictation with braille display?

How can you make the on-screen keyboard visible when your braille displayed is paired with your iOS device? Is there a braille keyboard command that will enable the on-screen keyboard to come up? I want to access Dictation on my iPad when it is paired with my braille display. The only way I know how to do this is to unpair them (turn off the display) and then the keyboard will pop up and I can use voiceOver to locate the Dictation button. But now I can't edit my text unless I repair my display. Help! I really want to be able to do this. TVITech

You can make the on-screen keyboard come up on a braille display as well as doing the 2-finger double-tap for enabling dictation when you're in a text field. To enable dictation do dots 1 5 6 space. To show or hide the on-screen keyboard do dots 1 4 6 space. Hope this helps!
