I use an iPad Pro 10.5. I do not usually use a bluetooth keyboard (either braille or QWERTY). Instead, I use Braille Screen Input. I have a few forms which work originally created in MS Word. These forms have lots of graphics, so Jaws does not work with them. However, we converted the forms into table format (which Jaws still does not work very well with), and I then imported them into the iPad Pro Pages. iOS works well with the forms. I double-tap on the table cell a couple times to highlight, then open the cell for editing. I then turn the rotor to Braille Screen Input and enter the info for the cell. I then turn the rotor away from BSI and right flick to the next cell which has the next info being sought. Another right flick to the next blank cell and a few double-taps to highlight and activate the cell. The method works extremely well.
