Hello,
At least with the Brailliant, for any field which is a list of values
(adjustable) command-3 moves down the list and command-6 moves up the
list. When not on an adjustable field, command 3 advances the focus to
the next rotor position and command -6 does the opposite. Command-2-3
selects the next rotor action and command-5-6 goesbackwardthrough the list.
One other helpful set of command keys is command-1-3 activates VoiceOver
help and command-1-2 exits help. When VoiceOver help is active,
pressing any key(s) on the Brailliant describes what that function
does. The spoken text appears momentarily on the braille display, but
it disappears quickly so it is difficult to read.
Hope this is helpful.

Hello,
I also have a braillant bi40 and would like to be able to use my
iphone wiwhtout speech.
Some things that you can do to make the process more efficient if you
want to just use braille:
use the spotlight feature (hit cmd-h from the home screen) to search
for the app that you need.
If you want to search for text within an app, for example safari but
really any hap doubletap the screen three times and you will get the
item choser with an edit field, if you want to cancel the item choser
you have to use the command that emulates the home button (cmd-h).
I am still experimenting with selecting/cutting or copying text while
using a braille display which i believe would be a lot more efficient,
at least for me, then doing it by using the touch screen.
Things that are difficult or that you cant do (to my knowledge) by
just using the braille display):
If you are using a word processor and you have to leave the app and
then go back to it then the vo focus within the document will be lost.
This is not limited to braille display though.
Double tap and hold is one of the gestures already mentioned that you
cannot do, to my knowledge.
Also, if you have a table index and you want to doubletap and hold and
move up and down i dont know how to do this on a braille display.
Furthermore if you have lists that you need to change by swiping up
and down (for example to change a value in the standard iphone alarm
clock) i dont know if you can do this. I have several apps that make
use of this gesture and now have to go to the touchscreen and turn the
speech on.
If anyone has any more tips/suggestions to make more effective use of
your iphone and just braille display this would be greatly appreciated

Jim,
I also have a TBI32 that is paired with a 4S and with an iPad 1st
gen. You can do most, but not all things with braille, unless I'm
missing something. You can't, for example, do the double tap hold
from a braille display. If you can, please somebody let me know how.
Also, and I suppose obviously, if you need to pair or repair the
display, you need to interact with the touch screen and hear the
speech output to accomplish that task. And some things, like opening
an app whose place you know on the touch screen are more efficient
with touch than with the braille display, simply because you can go
right to the app and double tap it. No sequential arrowing to get
there. None of these things are specific to the TBI-32, which is, in
my opinion, an excellent display that works quite well with the iPhone.
