Well I guess I now know that the onscreen keyboard should be visible to VO, so when it isn’t [if it happens again] I will just keep trying, or maybe reboot.
Going back to creating a Braille note for the password, and then doing a cut and paste for the onscreen text field; I still think there will be the issue of the capitalisation of letters, that in Braille require the dot 6 in front of them, and as I have said before, the password field on the phone will see that dot 6 as a character thus invalidating the password itself. I’m not sure therefore if there is a Braille way to enter passwords if for whatever reason, there is no visible onscreen keyboard. All this said, I don’t know anything about 8 dot braille, but as it offers 2 extra dots [usually used for the cursor] maybe dot 8 could somehow replicate dot 6 as an indication of a capitol. Maybe somebody can say more… - Andy On 6 Sep 2014, at 00:43, Matthew Carello <[email protected]> wrote: > That is cool that you got it to work. Things like that tend to happen at > times though .
