Hi!
Sorry for asking this question.
But i never got braille input to work on an ios device.
Even though Alex Hall did a great podcast on it.
Is an iphone 5S maybe a bit to small for a guy like me.
My fingers are very long.
Piano style fingers.

is correct. It's definitely less reliable.

I have pretty good
I have pretty good-sized hands too, enough that I can use my thumb to hit F# on
the low E string of a guitar while my other fingers remain on the bottom
strings; enough that I can, at a stretch, hit an octave plus two keys on a
piano (not that I can really play one). I've used an iPhone 5 for
Hello,
When you turn the iPhone away from you, have the home button to the right. VO
will announce home button to the left. This is correct, but the home button
actually is on the right. Now, Away mode is correct. Dots 1 2 and 3 are on the
left side, dots 4 5 6 are on the right side. Note:

LOL!

I've been reading this thread and I'm trying this out but I have large hands
and long fingers and a 5s and I'm not sure how to hold the phone to comfortably
reach the dots. So it's clearly something you have to screw with for more than
30 seconds to get to work but I could see where it could
Calibration is a good point, as it might help resolve the problems Chris is
running into. Once you get it down, you likely won't need to do it; I did it a
good amount last year when BSI was new, but I haven't done it at all in months.
I'm on the 5, though, and that's my only input source, so
Stupid question: are you sure you're in Away mode? In Table mode, things are
reversed until you force Away mode by turning the screen toward you, then lay
it flat again, which trips a lot of people up. I've never heard of Away mode
being reversed, though.
My only other thought is that you've

Hello,
It took me a couple weeks to figure out braille screen input. I practiced every
day. It is now my primary form of input on my iPhone and my iPad. I usually
write in 6-dot braille on the iPhone 6+ and the iPhone 5S. I write on both
phones equally. I also write in contracted braille using
Hi,
Thank you for explaining this. I was trying to explain what was going on to
someone the other day, and we never did come to any real conclusion. We thought
it was my phone being crazy. LOL. I was wondering why it wasn’t working right
for me.. Guess this is why. :)
Thanks again for your

I'm not using a braille display or input keyboard. This is specifically on the
braille input rotor setting, which I'm referring to.
When I reach an edit field, and I turn the rotor to braille input, I am using
contracted braille, not 6 dot, by the way. I'm noticing that it's reversed,

Hello,
I forgot to mention:
I almost always use away mode on the iPhone, and table-top mode on the iPad.
I hold the phone between my thumbs on the side with the mute switch and the
pinkys on the opposite side. Note: beware with the 6 and 6+ not to press
against the power button with the pinky.
Oh, ok, yes I was able to make it work similar to what you're describing. You
are right that you do have to play with it a bit. I'll screw around with it
until it works.

Yeah, it's just training fingers that takes a bit of time but I could see how
you could get really fast input with that. I type more than I braille but touch
typing doesn't really lend itself well to tiny devices.
