VO on iOS and Russian Braille Output

Friends, Anyone know how to get VO on iOS - in this instance the latest edition on an iPhone SE - to output Russian Braille on a BrailleConnect 40 display? I am getting question marks in uncontracted mode or the unicode values in contracted mode; neither very helpful. Any tips welcome. With thanks,

Re: Voiceover Speaks "Appendix 500" but it is Written "Appendix D"

Jonathan and E.T. Juxtaposition seems to be the issue. If I separate the word appendix from the letter C wit a comma, the problem stops. Having the “ix” close to d, c, x, or even i would result in a roman numeral. Good old Eloquence! Dave Carlson Pioneer, Farfar, Oregonian, Woodworker, Engineer,

This is a Alex issue. Changing the language changes the behavior. You might be able to put in a dictionary entry, but you would need to add all common Roman numerals. I expect the A B C D issue only happens when specific types of words are close by, like appendix or preface. Jonathan

Voiceover Speaks "Appendix 500" but it is Written "Appendix D"

As I read through a document in Textedit, there in the table of contents we're lines with Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, and so on. Moving character-by-character reads the letter, but reading line-by-line the letter C says 100 and the letter D says 500. Even in this email messag

Jürgen, Again thanks for that set of single commands to do what I wanted. So now I’m wondering if there is a method in OS to record a sequence of keystrokes as a macro, and then assign to a single command? Point me in the direction, and I’ll see if I can figure it out. Dave Carlson Pioneer, Farf
