Has anyone tried it yet, like I said in a previous post, can you type a 
letter on an external keyboard in that mode braille/hand-writing, and have 
it find something.

I haven't got a bt keyboard to play with right now or would test it myself.

RobH, wondering where to borrow one.

Perhaps there would need to be a specific 'fraille display' Rotor setting 
for this? I think Apple/VO can only go so far with differing hardware 
braille drivers, so that this is unlikely any time soon. .

  I know what the OP is saying though, and no you can't. He is asking if he 
can now use the display's keyboard to search for and open apps on the home 
screen like the on-screen braille or handwriting modes allow. Unless I 
missed something, this is still not possible.

      Greetings all. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7. I haven't upgraded yet
      and am not sure tha i Iwill until I get a new iPhone 6 next week or
      the week after. I have seen people talk about being able to type in
      Braille in iOS 8. My question is: can this be done with a Braille
      display? In other words, when on iOS 8 can I turn my rodar to braille
      and then write in Braille using my Focus 14 Blue display? I sure hope
      so since I sent a note to Apple Accessibility about this not long ago
      and it would be great if they added that ability.
