Hi,
After changing the Braille screen input translation tables to UEB (unified English Braille), on my iPhone and iPad, I’ve noticed several frustrating Braille translation issues. For instance, if I want to type the word "you’re" or "there’s", VoiceOver will input "y’re" and "the’s" respectively. Also, if I type a contraction like "Braille" right before a close parenthesus it will translate to "Brl)" instead of "Braille)". Is this a common issue you guys are facing or is this a fluke on my end?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Maddy

UEB Input
I use uncontracted because of these issues. It just prevents errors.
I haven't noticed this
I haven't noticed this at all. Next time you're in BSI, swipe three fingers left or right twice. This should toggle between 6 dot and contracted input. I've found that, every so often, contracted input will start acting oddly. Switching to 6 dot, then back to contracted, seems to resolve the problem.
Agreed
This has been an issue for a little while and was around when I used to use UK Braille instead of UEB. All you do is switch to six-dot and then back to contracted and the problem should be solved. I haven't mentioned it on a bugs list or anything because it was such a trifle it didn't bother me, but I suppose I should have flagged it as a bug.
Switching Between Contracted and Uncontracted
Hi,
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried switching between contracted and uncontracted braille input to see if the translation issues would sort themselves out, but they still seem to be there. I also noticed that in EBAE (the pre-unified US contracted braille code), these issues did not occur at all. I’ll email Apple accessibility about this and see what they respond.
