Subject: Re: Incredibly irritating problem with braille input on I O S
Calibration is a good point, as it might help resolve the problems Chris is
running into. Once you get it down, you likely won't need to do it; I did it
a good amount last year when BSI was new, but I haven't done it at all in
months. I'm on the 5, though, and that's my only input source, so it's hard
to get lost or move my fingers on such a small screen. Every user and device
will be different, and calibration is, for Chris and anyone else running
into problems, worth trying.

Hello,
I forgot to mention:
I almost always use away mode on the iPhone, and table-top mode on the
iPad.
I hold the phone between my thumbs on the side with the mute switch and
the pinkys on the opposite side. Note: beware with the 6 and 6+ not to
press against the power button with the pinky.
I always do the dot position calibration before I start brailling as
fingers always shift a little.

I've been reading this thread and I'm trying this out but I have large
hands and long fingers and a 5s and I'm not sure how to hold the phone to
comfortably reach the dots. So it's clearly something you have to screw
with for more than 30 seconds to get to work but I could see where it
could be a really efficient input method at least until they fix the
other input lag issues. The default keyboard is reliable but slow and I'd
prefer this to dictation. So maybe I just need to waste a few charge
cycles beating on it until I figure out the coordination?
I'm going to upgrade the phone at some point for the fatter battery and
larger screen and quicker processor but that still doesn't negate the
question. It's good of you to remind us that this is efficient. Not so
sure about UEB but I might talk to you off list about that as it's
possible that one is user error but it sure seems to have made a mess of
this logic textbook lol
