Re: Feedback wanted, braille screen input on an iPhone 5S, does it work? Is it worth trying?

[Gordan Radić]

Hi! I use Braille almost as long as I use iPhone and it's a bit over three yars now. I started with Braille Touch than MBraille and I tested some more apps including iOS native Braille keyboard introduced in iOS 8 and I can say it's completely usable. It has some itches such as upper dots 1 and 4 dissapear from the screen and the rest o the dots are moved up accordingly but this is easily calibrated by double tapping l and 4 5 6 to recalibrate. In iOS 9 is possible to lock the keyboard in the landscape orientation and it's more stable than in iOS 8. The only con I have for this is lack of support for my native language but I believe it will be sorted out in the future. P.S. Regarding screen size, I used it on 4S, 5 and 6S Plus and it worked everywhere. S poštovanjem Gordan Radić 9.1.2016. u 19:41, Rajmund je napisao/la: Hello, So, today, I have got my iPhone. It is through a contract, which limits the possibilities of this issue, I'm about to describe. So, the phone came with IOS8.4, and I have noticed, that braille screen input was more than useless. Because of that reason, despite that I would much rather have not, decided to update this thing to 9.2. Everything went smooth (some things are a little new to me....) braille is slightly better, but is still not there. Yet, braille is the only thing I use on the iPad air 1, so I know that this should work. With the air, I literally make no mistakes. I'm also aware of the fact, that this will be a little more cramped, since it is a smaller screen. However, if, I write something like hello, it'll either come out as: helbe, or, hebbe. Yes, dot 3 is not being recognised, if at all. I don't think that it is a screen issue, either, since I can calibrate, and if I keep tapping by itself, I'll eventually get the dot 3 to enter, but only by itself. If I add a d ot 2, the story becomes another story. So after all this, I have got the iPad out, went general, accessibility, voice over, braille. Literally, all and every single braille setting, even some that braille display related, match. I have also tried rebooting the phone, but to no avail. Has anyone, and if so, how, used braille screen input to write things on a 16 GB iPhone 5S? Oh, while I remember, both run the same version of IOS, too. Same apple ID (although that shouldn't matter) everything. Thanks in advance, if someone could help me out of this.
