Are you using grade 2 or UEB? In the latter, you use dot 4 followed quickly by dot 1. The decimal sign is the period. > On Nov 3, 2020, at 14:55, Lorie McCloud wrote: > > this is behaving differently than it did in IOS 12. I used to have to place a > dot 4 before writing at or dot, a

Re: braille screen input

David, Do you use US English Braille? In UEB dots (2,5,6) are a period except at the beginning of a word, and dot4 followed by dot 1 act an at sign sign for both reading and writing. > On Feb 20, 2019, at 12:00 AM, Gabe Griffith wrote: > > Hi, > > I use contracted braille. I believe dot

Re: braille screen input

Hi, I use contracted braille. I believe dot 4 acts as an indicator for the at sign or period so to get an at sign I type dot 4 then dot 4 again and for the period I type dot 4 then dots 4-6. Hope that helps. Gabe > On Feb 19, 2019, at 5:53 PM, David Chittenden wrote: > > Braille screen

Donna, I generally use the scrub gesture to exit braille screen input mode. Someone introduced this to me a couple of months ago, and it seems to help with the clunkiness some. > On Jan 3, 2019, at 2:43 PM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > This may be a dumb

Re: Braille screen input

david and Arnold it seems Arnold was correct. Since nothing else was working, I decided that desperate times call for desperate measures, so I deleted all settings. I am now writing in BSI, which is back to working again, as is M-Braille. And, for some unknown reason, Voiceover came back on

Re: Braille screen input

I sincerely hope you come up with a better solution for this problem than I did about a month ago when, first MBraille, then Apple Braille Screen input exhibited the symptoms you describe for no apparent reason. I ended up using the reset all settings to fix it, and it hasn't gone wrong since.

Re: Braille screen input

When you calibrate, you place the centre of each dot under your fingertip at that point. The dot stays there. Since you are then unable to find all the dots, your fingers are drifting across the display. On the iPhone, I braille in away mode with the screen facing away from me. My thumbs hold

Re: Braille screen input

David, what do you regard to be the proper timing? Also, when you calibrate the dots, do you put your fingers in a v shape or in a horizontal line across the screen question when I first calibrate I seem to have all six dots available. However, when I start to write words then the dots six

Hello, I continue using braille screen input, on a daily basis, without any difficulties. I use it for all of my office work. Perhaps you are not performing the dot alignment command with the proper timing between the right and the left hands. Kind regards, David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA

Re: Braille screen input

Are you trying to enter a full braille cell? If so, you can only enter 5 dots at a time. So what I do is press down 5 fingers, then lift up one, and complete the full cell, then lift up all fingers. I hope this is what you were looking for. Bob Hill Sent from Bob's iPhone > On Nov 25,

I don't think you can. My keyboard echo is set to character, and I hear the characters in 6-dot mode. Like you, though, I hear nothing when using contracted braille, so I'm still using 6-dot for now. On Oct 24, 2014, at 10:35 AM, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com wrote: How do you get VoiceOver

Re: Braille screen input

You can't. Some say it's a bug, others say it's by design because of how the translator works. I did suggest to Apple that dot patterns such as 1-2-3-4-5-6 could be announced so that we know by pattern what's about to be translated. On 24/10/2014 15:35, Eugenia Firth wrote: How do you get

I find grade2 working pretty good, too good when I didn't realise it was on and it kept expanding initials I was typing at the time. Had to fiddle trying to find how to turn it off; but we all sorted that out in the end. RH, aka: RatherHave. - Original Message - From: Eugenia Firth

Re: Braille screen input

Ok, good. Just a suggestion, though. If you ever have initials doing that again, if you use the letter sign, never mind that it's incorrect to do it, that should let you type them in right. On computers, I use the letter sign all the time when I'm doing initials where they could be

Yes, contracted braille works as well as 6 dot braille. I always use 6 dot braille because I am now philosophically apposed to contracted braille being the default. Now that we have electronic braille, braille is the same size as print in electronic form. And, blind people who have always used
