Hi all. Several questions about the braille keyboard.
I have not upgraded yet, but I am getting lots of questions from people. One. Is it really true that when using table top mode, the dots are reversed left and right from what they are in away mode? Two. In this flat v table top mode, I am not sure how to know what this arrangement would be. Three. If you don’t need to calibrate, how far can you change where your fingers are. What if I wanted to type like I might on a braille display so that, for example, you hold your hands so that your fingers run parallel to the length of the phone with dots 1 2 and 3 in the left hand, and 4 5 and 6 in the right. Can this be done. Thanks all for your help.

I find calibration has no effect in Away Mode, and the odd problems you discovered in Table Mode. However, nothing says you have to calibrate, and I didn't even know you could for days. So, I never calibrate, and things work well enough. On Sep 25, 2014, at 9:14 PM, Paweł Masarczyk <[email protected]> wrote: Hello guys! I was trying this feature out on an iPhone 5. I've discovered that when I calibrate the dot positions, it often happens that the 456 dots cell changes the dots positions in a rather uncontrollable manner. Sometimes dots 4 and 6 are turned round, sometimes it is dots 5 and 4 that change their positions.This makes it rather hard to type on it reliably.Has anyone found a way around this?\I've also noticed that it works best when you hold it with the home button to the right.

I always make sure that I am in braille input mode before I start typing, and I traditionally use the phone in away mode. When the phone decides that it does not want to recognize my gestures, it recognizes nothing. It doesn't matter whether I am in contracted mode or not. I have experimented with finger placement, and extremely exaggerated swipes. Nothing works. When I learned that Apple was putting braille input into iOS, I had a bit of buyer's remorse for purchasing MBraille. I am so glad I still have it.

I thin; we all have to remember that this is a brand new feature... and there will be bugs. I've experienced this as well.

Other gestures that aren't recognized include turning contracted Braille translation on and off, attempting to calibrate the dots, and attempting to use Explore Mode to locate the dots on screen. The only gesture that seems to be recognized is the gesture to change the rotor setting. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am an experienced MBraille user, and MBraille is still working reliably for me, so I don't think it's me or the hardware in my phone. Thoughts appreciated.
