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 inputed.
Interestingly, there used to be a half baked feature in 8.2 called explore mode. It is now gone completely if I'm right but gives me hope it's in the works. I'll ask accessibility about it. About dot calibration you have to start with dots 456 and then follow with 123 and should then hear "Dots calibrated" Hth, Ioana Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 9, 2015, at 8:30 AM, Krister Ekstrom <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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?
