Okay, I'll start off as if you've not got it in your rotor, so sorry if its boring for a few novels or so, lol. First, you have to know how to use the rotor, which is how you access on-the-fly features of voiceover. Its almost like the alt+control+arrow key thing Window-eyes has, but with different options, but the idea is the same. To turn the rotor to select options to change, put two fingers on the screen, then twist the fingers clockwise or counterclockwise. You'll hear things like characters, words, headings… things like that. To adjust that option, like to move by characters for example, twist to characters, then flick down. That's the basic usage of the rotor. Now, we can go on and get the braille screen input working. Go to your homescreen, then find the settings app. Double tap on settings when you hear it. Then, find general, within the settings app and double tap general. Next, find accessibility and double tap that. Then, find voiceover and double tap that. Don't worry, you won't turn it off. Then, find rotor, and double tap that. Now, find braille screen input, and double tap that. It should say that it is selected, which is what you want. Now, go to the home screen, and I'll show you a neet trick with braille screen input. Twist the rotor to braille screen input, and turn the phone to landscape mode, where it long instead of tall. Yes, that's the bes way I can explain it. Now, the braille screen input is active, and you can start typing, but if it ever starts putting in wrong characters, press dots 4-5-6, then dots 1-2-3 quickly, making almost an equals sign, in math, … if you know nimeth code, but with dots 5 and 2 included. If you do it quick enough, almost the quickness of double tapping, you'll hear "dot positions calibrated". This means that where ever you placed your fingers for the 456-123 gesture, that's where the dots will be, bt don't worry about being exact. I know I'm not the most steady person, but my brailling usually works well. Now, about the home screen, start typing the name of an app. Yes, you can search for apps in this way. To choose a suggestion, which also works for words in text fields, swipe up or down. To type a space, swipe right with one finger. To press "enter" on an app, which also works in text fields, swipe right with two fingers. To backspace a letter, swipe left with one finger. To backspace a whole word, swipe left with two fingers. When you're searching for apps, only 6-dot braille can be used. When in text fields, swipe left with three fingers to change from six-dot and contracted braille, or if you're on a plus-sized phone, you can use 8-dot braille for super-acurate ascii input, lol. Also, if you find that you move around a lot, and the phone keeps going into portrate mode, or table top mode, put it into landscape and swipe up with three fingers.
