Hello,
I wasn’t clear about my use of 1 finger and 2 finger double taps. Trying
a few more times, I still cannot get BSI to start using the taps.
The 2-finger double tap is the magic tap that starts & stops a radio
station. It also will answer & disconnect a phone call.
I’ve tried a 1-finger double tap simultaneously on each hand, at the top
and bottom center edge of the screen. Also on the corners on the same
side and the diagonally opposite corners. The radio comes on and then
off with the next tap.
The single finger double tap on opposite edges does not start BSI for me.
I can only engage BSI with the roter and while in landscape, flip to hear:
Screen away
To calibrate the dots, when tapping the right 3 finger tips near the
edge I usually hear the numbers 4 and 5 and sometimes 4, 5 and 6.
Lifting the right 3 fingers , and repeating with the left 3 fingers , I
never hear 1, 2 or 3.
I never near:
dot positions calibrated
Obviously my fingers are not correctly positioned.
I wanted to learn to get BSI correct before upgrading to IOS 18 in case
IOS 18 has BSI broken.
Where do I find the “Use activation gesture”.
Thanks for giving me the basic steps to make BSI work.
My next step will be to upgrade to IOS 18 and hope for better results.

Good luck

Strange, I could not get that to work.
I tried, both fingers near the top center, then like you did, one top
center and one bottom center. All it does for me is it turns on
dictation.
I am assuming the type of phone should not make a difference, but I am
using an iPhone 14 Pro.

Actually, you don’t have to be in the corners to do the double
taps. I just verified this by intentionally tapping in the top
and bottom center of the screen while in landscape position.

To turn on Braille Screen Input, you basically need to double tap
a left hand corner and a right hand corner while in landscape
mode. These double taps need to be done together at the same time.
It does not matter whether you use both top corners, both bottom
corners, or one of each. I personally put my left hand finger at
the top left corner, and my right hand finger at the bottom corner.
If it does not work sometimes for you, maybe you are not always
putting your fingers far enough in the corners.
As far as callibrating the dots.
You first put your right hand down, lift it and quickly put your
left hand down and lift it.
You can do this while in typing mode or command mode.
If done correctly, you will hear, dot positions callibrated. You
can callibrate the dots as much as you need.
I found that I was putting my hands to far to the top and that
made my typing not as accurate. So I just lowered my hands a
little toward the bottom of the screen and my typing got accurate
again.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I have the basics to get BSI started and stopped but it’s hit
and miss. Can you clarify the correct gestures to start and
configure the fingers.
**Start
Using the roter is hit and miss and sometimes it’s is changed
to unselected.
The other way to engage BSI is with finger taps.
How exactly should the 1 finger double tap be done?
Should the Iphone be in portrait and facing me?
Should the taps be in the center or the diagonally opposite
corners of the screen?
Should this tap be simultaneous or one after the other?
***Configuring the 6 fingers
When BSI starts, the Iphone is in landscape and screen away.
The Iphone back corners are braced with my thumbs and pinkies
and part of the palms.
The right and left 3 center fingers are curled so that the
tips will tap the right and left edges.
Should the 3 fingers touch each other or be apart?
I start with the right fingers for dots 4, 5 and 6.
Should they be tapped simultaneously or one after the other?
Should they be held down or lifted before repeating fingers
for 1, 2 and 3?
With screen away I can lock the layout with a 3 finger swipe
down.
I’m trying different methods and getting mixed results.
Writing the alphabet from “a” gets me to “g” most of the time.
I don’t hear any letters using dot 3 like k, l, m, etc.
What is the correct gesture for starting and configuring?

Hello Gezim,
I am replying using Braille Screen Input. It working like
always for me.
I engage it by double tapping with one finger at the top
and one at the bottom of the screen.
Also on 18.1 but on the 16 pro, but that shouldn't matter.

Hi all,
Yesterday I updated my iPhone to iOS 18.1, and I
noticed that Braille screen input is no longer
functioning.
I am using iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
