[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Braille screen input on iPhone Se 2022

[Sahar's Beaded Creations]

I have always used tabletop mode, and the phone never sits on a table. I set it on my thumbs, and that really works for me.

I use Braille screen input on my iPhone 8 all the time with and without earbuds and have no problems. The same was true for my 6S. I have mine set for screen away mode and use it that way if the screen is pointing away from me or if the phone is on a table face up. I have no problem fitting my fingers on the screen, but then I have relatively small hands. I have never experienced the problems with muting you describe.

Cordially,

Ellen

Kelsey,

I also use screen away mode, and my hand being in front of the phone hasn't muted it in the seven years I've been using BSI unless I was on a call. In fact, I can flip my phone over onto its face without it muting. Intriguing. Does anyone here know of a relevant setting?

Similarly, if I have wired earbuds plugged in, I can keep my palm far enough away from the phone that it doesn't interfere with the lightning port and so doesn't affect my typing. It might be worth experimenting with hand position to see if there's a comfortable solution for you.
