Apple Beta Releases

Could I do this in settings, Voiceover, commands? Just trying to think of an efficient way to set this up, so it would be similar to using control-space to switch keyboards. It would be great if I could type emoticons and they become emoji. This seems to work on mac in messages, but not on ios. I am getting lost in the maze of commands that are available. TIA,

I use a braille display. You go under commands and keyboard. You want next keyboard.

Yes, exactly the info I needed. I can use my Braille display to do it, but at times I just use Braille screen input for the quick convenience. This should do it.

Did they finally make it where the Braille keyboard can finally just be default, instead of having to get to it via the rotor? I am on Android, and really like what they've done with Talkback, and the Talkback Braille keyboard, but it's missing some key gestures, like switching languages and grade. To do it, you have to go in to the keyboard menu to do it, and while it's not hard, it is slower, and that is one thing I definitely appreciated about the iOS implementation.
