If you mean braille screen input, who knows. I do not have that in mu rotor. This sure is perplexing. A total reset would indeed be the last resort but it might end up being the best solution.

Two points for ET though not directly, since I was on the phone with Apple. I 
removed pairing of the Braille device, removed braille  from the rotor, turned 
off bluetooth and then powered down and powered up.

I am almost tempted to try and cause the reversal again to see if I can 
simplify that reset process. I wonder if the fact that Braille was in the rotor 
in addition to the braille display somehow confused VoiceOver into reversing 
actions for the Braille connectivity. Though the support rep I talked with said 
he had heard of some cases where the onscreen keyboard would disappear when 
BlueTooth headphones are connected.

   Forget the braille device or turn off Bluetooth? Did you try these?

Well, I made a little progress. Essentially the onscreen keyboard toggle now 
appears to be completely backward. When the Braille display is connected to the 
iPhone 7, then the OnScreen keyboard is available but as soon as I get out of 
range, turn off the keyboard, or otherwise disable the Braille display, the 
OnScreen keyboard disappears.
I am very tempted to reset all settings, but then I would need to put my credit 
cards back into Apple Pay.
Best wishes,

Hi Jonathan,
I just had this happen today. It was very annoying. I have an external 
Bluetooth keyboard, and I thought maybe that was the problem. So I turned off 
Bluetooth. Rebooted the phone. No luck. I went into general settings keyboard 
and found out that for some reason I had three keyboards listed, two of which 
were United States English qwerty. I deleted one of those, rebooted the phone, 
and my keyboard returned. I don’t know why it listed US English twice. And I 
don’t know if it was just coincidental that getting rid of one of them should 
cause the keyboard to reappear. But it did.

Thanks for the replies. so far, I have not been able to get the onscreen 
keyboard to appear again. I have tried removing the pairing of the Braille 
display, toggling the show keyboard check box several times, reset the system 
with bluetooth off and with airplane mode on, and probably 5 other similar 
attempts. I have not yet looked at support pages on the web, but then again I 
am just getting onto a computer now since my post last night. Oh, and I 
apologize for the typo’s in that post, I was using the VoiceOver braille on 
screen keyboard.

I will definitely post if I get a solution that works, if anybody else has 
ideas please keep them coming.

Hi Jonathan. This happened to me also at the beginning of December over the 
weekend, and it was pretty frustrating when I couldn't dictate or type on my 
phone with the on screen keyboard. It was like my phone thought I was still 
connected to Bluetooth with my braille display even though the display was 
already turned off. Try switching Bluetooth off and then back on and see if 
that helps. If that doesn't work, try turning Bluetooth off and do a soft reset 
on your phone. When I had this problem, I eventually went to the Apple Store on 
Monday and they were able to reset my phone. None of my apps or data was erased 
and I did a back up beforehand just in case that might happen. The keyboard 
magically reappeared again after they turned off Bluetooth and reset it.
Hope that helps.
