Hi. I was trying to record an audio note with evernote on my iphone 6. However, when I hit record, voiceover transfers its speech from the speakerphone to the earpiece. I've noticed this happens with other audio recording apps as well. So, how can I find the Done button without raising the

Character echo does work, but only in 6 dot mode. If you use contracted braille, dots are not spoken as you type. I use word feedback so I can hear what I've written when I do the space gesture. Explore Mode is working as expected here, I'm not sure why yours isn't. > On Apr 9, 2015, at 8:59 AM,

Hello, It appears that, even if one has set typing feedback to characters, they are not spoken out in Braille input. It's trial and error but works quite well once you get the hang of it. A work around is to type 1 character and backspace with left single finger swipe !hear what dots are being
