Actually, you don’t have to be in the corners to do the double taps. I just verified this by intentionally tapping in the top and bottom center of the screen while in landscape position.

These double taps need to be done together at the same time. It does not matter whether you use both top corners, both bottom corners, or one of each. I personally put my left hand finger at the top left corner, and my right hand finger at the bottom corner. If it does not work sometimes for you, maybe you are not always putting your fingers far enough in the corners. As far as callibrating the dots. You first put your right hand down, lift it and quickly put your left hand down and lift it. You can do this while in typing mode or command mode. If done correctly, you will hear, dot positions callibrated. You can callibrate the dots as much as you need. I found that I was putting my hands to far to the top and that made my typing not as accurate. So I just lowered my hands a little toward the bottom of the screen and my typing got accurate again. Hope this helps.

Can you clarify the correct gestures to start and configure the fingers. **Start Using the roter is hit and miss and sometimes it’s is changed to unselected. The other way to engage BSI is with finger taps. How exactly should the 1 finger double tap be done? Should the Iphone be in portrait and facing me? Should the taps be in the center or the diagonally opposite corners of the screen? Should this tap be simultaneous or one after the other? ***Configuring the 6 fingers When BSI starts, the Iphone is in landscape and screen away. The Iphone back corners are braced with my thumbs and pinkies and part of the palms. The right and left 3 center fingers are curled so that the tips will tap the right and left edges. Should the 3 fingers touch each other or be apart? I start with the right fingers for dots 4, 5 and 6. Should they be tapped simultaneously or one after the other? Should they be held down or lifted before repeating fingers for 1, 2 and 3? With screen away I can lock the layout with a 3 finger swipe down. I’m trying different methods and getting mixed results. Writing the alphabet from “a” gets me to “g” most of the time. I don’t hear any letters using dot 3 like k, l, m, etc. What is the correct gesture for starting and configuring? Peter T.

I engage it by double tapping with one finger at the top and one at the bottom of the screen. Also on 18.1 but on the 16 pro, but that shouldn't matter.
