Re: Contracted Braille or computer Braille as entry choice via Braille display on iphone
Hello Andrew! I used this function for a while when I had IOS 6.x on my iPhone 5. It didn't work brilliantly because the programme did'nt recognize all the symbols I typed. (I used the German contracted braille). Maybe it has been developed since IOS 9, I don't know, I haven't tried it with IOS 9.

Re: Contracted Braille or computer Braille as entry choice via Braille display on iphone
Hi, Keep in mind, if you will, that the setting is easily switched with a 2-3-6-chord. I do switch it often. Generally, the greatest advantage of computer braille for me is easier editing, I know that each cell represents a character and don't have to concern myself with contractions or case. That is, if I want to add a letter to the end of a word, for example a d, I need not bother with a letter sign and simply hit d. I will not get do, but rather d, and am sure I am going to get that. Each method of entry has its place, I think, particularly since one can swap back and forth.

Re: Contracted Braille or computer Braille as entry choice via Braille display on iphone
Hi, The advantage is that you know exactly how what you are entering will appear in your files because no translation is taking place. Also, sometimes translation can make braille entry more sluggish. I find the iPHone responsive enough that using contracted braille works for me, but it doesn't work well for everyone.
