Braille Keyboard on iPhone (self.Blind)
submitted by BlueRock956
Hi, I looked for the thread, but I could not find it. Could someone explain how I can start typing with the Braille keyboard on my iPhone?

Just swipe right with three fingers he would be able to switch between contracted and non-contracted

Great, could you give me a bit more info? How could we switch to navigation mode, for example to hit the send button.

Apparently you cannot send a message directly you will have to switch your router back to default and then hit the send button manually

Thanks, I’ll go into the router, that’s the step I was missing.

Go into the accessibility settings, voiceover, router and make sure braille keyboard is enabled. Once you do that, you can access it through the router. It's been awhile since I set the keyboard; hopefully someone else can remember how to get it set up the way you like it (I have mine locked so the screen is facing away from me and it doesn't jump randomly into any other mode).

Two additional points.
First, if you enable BSI (braille screen input) and leave it, it will stay where it is in your rotor. That could mean a lot of rotor twists to find it. If you instead drag BSI to the top of the list, so it's the first thing in your rotor, it will move. At almost any point, one clockwise rotor turn will put you in BSI. Some people love this, others find it annoying. Again, it will only move to always be one turn away if you put it at the very top of your rotor options.
As to locking, you do this with a three-finger swipe down. Get to the orientation you like, and perform that gesture to always have BSI stay in that orientation. You can repeat the gesture at any time to unlock it and have the keyboard move itself from tabletop to away mode, with the correct orientation.

I hope it works well. I wouldn't be without it now.
I'm still using a 4 inch screen, so haven't got as much finger room as on a larger device (when using BSI on an iPad I'm as fast as I ever was on a Perkins Brailler in the day) but even on the small screen BSI's changed my typing hugely.
