Hi everyone,
Braille Screen Input has been overhauled!
iOS and iPad OS 18, due for release on Monday 16 September, include the biggest
refresh of Braille Screen Input since the feature was first introduced in iOS
8. Although you can, for the most part, still use Braille Screen Input as you
I'm using grade 1 or UEB. I wish it was computer braille but that's just how it
goes.

Are you using grade 2 or UEB? In the latter, you use dot 4 followed quickly by
dot 1. The decimal sign is the period.

this is behaving differently than it did in IOS 12. I used to have to place a
dot 4 before writing at or dot, a decimal point in braille. that doesn't seem
to work any more. I also used to use dot 5 for quotation mark. this may have
changed in 13 but I didn't run that IOS version. what's the eas

In UEB contracted, I use dot 4 followed by dot 1 and in eight dot I believe it
is dot 4-7.

The scrub gesture is done with 2 fingers. It is like a lightening bolt or the

I generally use the scrub gesture to exit braille screen input mode.

Hi all,
This may be a dumb question, but how do you navigate around it in a document
when you’re using braille screen input. I have found that Jonathan is correct.
In putting text works quite well. But I seem to get hung up if I need to jump
to another place in the document. Going into the

She is talking about braille screen input mode which as accessed on
an iDevice.
But you mentioned seeing dot 8 codes. Can you find that source
again? Yes that will do accented characters and I would like to have a list.

I believe that dot 1 dot 8 produces a back slash as in what is used to separate
directory names in Windows paths. I am fairly confident I have seen some
accented characters use dot 8, but I usually was looking at DuoLingo in 7 dot
computer Braille where the accent always uses the same two charac

I'd like to know more about this. I usually use 6 dot mode but it has a number
of problems for me. I really like computer braille so I think I'd like 8 dot
mode. Now I understand what dot 7 does. what does dot 8 do?

about a month ago when, first MBraille, then Apple Braille Screen input

Hello,
I continue using braille screen input, on a daily basis, without any
difficulties. I use it for all of my office work. Perhaps you are not
performing the dot alignment command with the proper timing between the right
and the left hands.
Kind regards,

I can't do braille imput for some reason. Never could. So I use a braille
display.

I think saying the dots out what take forever. I really think that with the
screen input, unless you were using a brill display, is got to have the default
of translation as you go. Mit's a real pain to type a big long word, only to
find out that it's got a big mistake in it, and then you
You can't. Some say it's a bug, others say it's by design because of how
the translator works. I did suggest to Apple that dot patterns such as
1-2-3-4-5-6 could be announced so that we know by pattern what's about
to be translated.

I don't think you can. My keyboard echo is set to "character", and I hear the
characters in 6-dot mode. Like you, though, I hear nothing when using
contracted braille, so I'm still using 6-dot for now.

Contracted braille has been working quite well for me too. It's still not good

Hi!
To be honest i can't read contracted braille.
At least not english.
