I got an iPhone 11 a few days ago and love it. I upgraded from iPhone SE 2020. I only have one issue and it is that braille screen input is not working very good. I am writing this on my laptop.

I ama huge fan of Braille Screen Input. I am sorry you are having trouble with this. Can you please describe the nature of the difficulty. It is difficult to answer your question with additional information.

I assume you already know how to do a dot calibration by quickly touching the screen first with the three fingers of your right hand and then second, with the three fingers of your left hand. You have to do this fairly quickly else the calibaration will not work.

it's like nothing I type makes sens it just doesn't work like it should.

Sorry, but what do you mean by "thigs"? I imagine you've also tried to recalibrate dot positions?

By Sabrina on Sunday, July 23, 2023 - 22:51

Yes with recalibrated. I do that over and over again

It's hard to diagnose this unless you tell me what junk you are hearing when you try to braille. It is possible the dot positions have been reversed. We need more data.

Hmm, I think I might know what you're referring to.

Sometimes, when using screen away mode, your palm might accidentally touch the screen. This happens to me on phones where the screen goes right to the edge.

I'm not sure why it happens, so I either have to be careful or learn to use tabletop mode like I had to do.

Just be mindful of how you hold the phone while typing.
