I thought I just might be the only one having Braille Screen input issues. If I try to use it when responding to a text message, or one in Messenger, I'll be writing merrily along when suddenly nothing at all happens, and the screen seems to freeze, except that the rotor still works and I can get out of the screen and back to the text at the point where it stops. So, I've given up using BSI altogether, and, whether in messages or Messenger, I activate and use only the MBraille keyboard. Then, after writing my text, I perform the three-finger gesture from top to bottom of screen which converts braille to printed text and send my text. If you don't have MBraille, it's definitely worth $39.95 to buy it in the APP store. I must conclude this post by saying that this problem with Braille Screen input is a bug that has emerged only in the past week or so., at least that's the case on my iPhone 8. Long live MBraille!!!
