Chris Chaffin posted a list of Braille Screen Input commands on Applevis and
it was posted to another iphone list.
I thought it was worth posting here as well. I made several additions to
the list and combined a couple that were the same gesture with some of what
it did.
So below is what I can sort out is a pretty full list of commands that can
be done with BSI.
Braille Screen Input on Apple Products
Chris Chaffin, 22 September, 2024
Modified by Richard Turner November 4, 2024. I found a few extra gestures
that work so added them to the list. Here is the entire list as it stands
now.
In iOS 18, Braille Screen Input, (BSI), got a major overhaul. One of the
main new features is Command Mode. This allows you to navigate your phone
while never leaving Braille Screen Input.
Please find below a list of commands that can be used while in Command Mode
of Braille Screen Input.
