When you say quick, how quick is quick? Are we talking almost drum roll
quick?

Sorry, that would have been helpful. <smile> It's simple, but you have to do
it fast: put your right three fingers down, then lift them and put your left
three fingers down, then lift them. Too slow and you type 4 5 6, 1 2 3, but
so long as you type both characters in rapid succession, you'll hear an
announcement about the dots being calibrated, at which point you type like
normal.

OK, so then, how do you do it?

Calibration is a good point, as it might help resolve the problems Chris
is running into. Once you get it down, you likely won't need to do it; I
did it a good amount last year when BSI was new, but I haven't done it at
all in months. I'm on the 5, though, and that's my only input source, so
it's hard to get lost or move my fingers on such a small screen. Every
user and device will be different, and calibration is, for Chris and
anyone else running into problems, worth trying.

Hello,
I forgot to mention:
I almost always use away mode on the iPhone, and table-top mode on the
iPad.
I hold the phone between my thumbs on the side with the mute switch and
the pinkys on the opposite side. Note: beware with the 6 and 6+ not to
press against the power button with the pinky.
I always do the dot position calibration before I start brailling as
fingers always shift a little.

I've been reading this thread and I'm trying this out but I have large
hands and long fingers and a 5s and I'm not sure how to hold the phone
to comfortably reach the dots. So it's clearly something you have to
screw with for more than 30 seconds to get to work but I could see
where it could be a really efficient input method at least until they
fix the other input lag issues. The default keyboard is reliable but
slow and I'd prefer this to dictation. So maybe I just need to waste a
few charge cycles beating on it until I figure out the coordination?
I'm going to upgrade the phone at some point for the fatter battery and
larger screen and quicker processor but that still doesn't negate the
question. It's good of you to remind us that this is efficient. Not so
sure about UEB but I might talk to you off list about that as it's
possible that one is user error but it sure seems to have made a mess of
this logic textbook lol
