No I don't have a Braille display capable of Braille innput. Works like a charm on web pages with on-screen. Only problem, as already mentioned, is that it's impossible to enter text in web form fields Hth, Ioana . Sent from my iPhone On Sep 27, 2014, at 3:00 PM, Christopher Hallsworth

Braille Gestures Toggling off Auto-Correct

2014-09-27 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi everyone, has anyone else found that after inputing text in Braille, auto-correct for the standard virtual keyboard has been set to off? It's necessary for me to go back into Settings, General, Keyboard to turn it back on again. This could be related to the other problem I posted last night,

I've used the explore mode already, and it showed exactly what I already knew: the dots are reversed. The dot closest to the lower edge of the phone on the right is dot 4, as it should be, and immediately next to that is... dot 2. Just above and to the right of dot 4 is dot 5, right where I'd

I think you are misunderstanding tabletop mode perhaps. Dot5 shouldn't be above dot4 in tabletop mode but to the right of it. Dots 3 and 6 should be at opposite ends of the long edge. This doesn't sound like your description at all to me. In the right order they should be: 3 2 1 4 5 6 going

If you imagine the flattened V shape, there are still two lines, not columns yet not in a single horizontal line either. The dots don't go straight across like a Perkins broiler, they slant up slightly. In my mind, that puts the left three dots across from the right three. The order I see, from
