You would expect less for a blind user? I bet a sighted person would expect a variety of font sizes and font font types. They would expect highlighting, bold text, etc. So, why should a blind user be expected to take less on a system that is advertised to have Braille support. It isn't advertised to have menimal Braille support or Braille support as defined necessary by sighted users who do not use Braille.

This is true, but is a sort of kludgey workaround. If you type fast, it does pretty well. I think it would be nice to have both reading and writing contractions options toggle on and off. However, I think it's quite amazing that the Apple developers did what they did. I simply wouldn't expect that of mainstream companies like Apple.

Hi,

This makes typing in contracted braille useless and for sure does not conform with the rules of contracted braille, as I know them.

Hi.

As I'm not on the VI phone list, I am posting to another list as there may be people on it who may be having this problem.

I use a Euro braille 40 which I pair up with the I phone 4 that I have. If I use it more than half an hour with braille contractions on, after a some period of time each individual letter like P or any other letter associated with a braille contraction even if it's meant to make a word, gets translated. For example, if I write permision, the P in permission translates as people even though I have written permission. Has anyone had this problem and if so how to get rid of it?

Kawal.
