Hi, all, I've noticed some folks having difficulties with this and posting to other threads, so I thought I'd make a thread dedicated to it and post a few hints.
Try the following for practice. Go into Notes or a new mail message. Turn to the Braille screen input item on the rotor. There are two ways to position the device for Braille. You can use "screen-away mode", which makes it possible to point the screen away from you in landscape mode with the home button to the right, or "tabletop mode", which lets you place the device on a flat surface with the home button to the left. In screen-away mode, the dots are arranged "accordion fashion" with dots 1-2-3 on the left short side and dots 4-5-6 on the right short side. In tabletop mode, the dots are arranged on the long side closest to you. When you begin practice, hold your hands pressed on the device until you hear "explore mode", and Voiceover will tell you which dots are pressed. You will exit explore mode when you lift a finger. With explore mode, it's a lot easier to have sounds on, because you'll hear some tones before you enter this mode. Space using a right-flick, backspace using a left-flick, new line with two-finger-right-flick, switch between contracted and six-dot uncontracted with a three-finger-right-flick. Chime in with other hints. I'm sure there are things I missed. :) HtH, Teresa "We can see with the eyes, but we see with the brain as well, and seeing with the brain is often called imagination."--Oliver Sacks -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
