Re: Some more braille display questions with an iPhone or iPad

[chris]

Pressing a cursor routing button in a text field should move the 
insertion point to the position of the cursor routing button. So if you 
press it on cell 1, the insertion point should move to the beginning and 
so on. I'm not aware of the ability to send mail directly using a 
Braille display.

Whenever you touch the screen and you have a Braille display connected, what 
you're touching is shown on the display. So, you can touch with one hand and 
read with the other.


Thanks,
Ari

I have not seen this work well on my end. Using a focus 14. Sometimes the

Re: Some more braille display questions with an iPhone or iPad

[Mary Otten]

I have to agree, that when I pressed the cursor routing button and expected the 
cursor to move to the start where the routing button was, it didn't. This was 
in the email app. Also, touching the screen does not always make the braille 
display focus move. I don't know why. Maybe this is new or not.

Hi Mary,

When I use a braille display in things like Mail, I also touch the screen when 
that's more efficient.

Hello all,
I really don't know that I see myself using a braille display with a device for

Re: Some more braille display questions with an iPhone or iPad

[Devin Prater]

When I am in mail, I just press space with 3-6 to get back to the beginning of 
text That usually works fine. To send, just press spce with 1-2-3, then go 
forward twice, and you'll be fine.
