Each finger is a dot, just like any braille keyboard. So long as you keep your fingers in the right place, you'll get the dots you want. You aren't moving one finger around to find each dot; rather, you're typing up to five dots at once (the touch screen can't detect more than five touches at a

I think it will help you to read the guide I wrote on this feature when it first came out. I've just updated it for iOS8.3. If you have any problems or still can't work something out, let us know. It's a really wonderful feature once you get it working, and I use it every day for so many differe

Hello This may sound like a silly question so let me try to explain: I’m trying out the braille input mode in iOs8.3 and it appears that i have to have the rotor set to characters in order to know where the actual braille keys begin, right? How else could i determine this without typing trange le
