Okay, thanks all for the responses. I was talking about the ability to, perhaps enter text with a Braille display like the new braille input mode or handwriting modes for entering text. I don't think that it would be that difficult since many displays are already supported and can be used to enter text. In my suggestion to Apple Accessibility, I mentioned that perhaps a dot 3 and space or dot 6 and space could be used to switch between numbers, contracted, and uncontracted braille. Given the new braille input mode I have heard of in iOS 8, it seems like this could be possible. Oh well, perhaps in a future update. I think it would be cool if they added it though since that could mean input by Braille display to even more places in iOS.
