Hi Joshua, There are two orientations for Braille Screen Input: Tabletop and Screen Away mode. In tabletop mode, the keys are arranged like a Perkins brailler. In Screen Away mode, you hold the phone between your palms with the screen facing away from you. When you wrap your hands around the phone so you can touch the screen, your left hand does dots 1, 2, and 3 in a column with 1 on the top, and your right hand does dots 4, 5, and 6 in the same orientation. I like this mode because my hands are more likely to stay in the same place than when I use Tabletop mode, but I would recommend trying them both to see which you prefer.
You can set the default grade of braille from the Settings/Accessibility/VoiceOver/Braille screen using the Onscreen Braille Input setting. When you are typing, flick right with one finger for Space and with two fingers for Return. Flick left with one finger to delete a character and with two to delete a word. The iPhone user guide includes all the commands, so check that out as well. I hope that helps.
