[nfbcs] Braille with iDevices was RE: The Mac Beckens

[Nicole Torcolini]

	I have a BrailleNote Apex which I could pair with my iPhone 6.
However, I stopped pairing it at least one iPhone ago because the typing
delay is so bad. I remember trying to type a word that had the st
contraction in it, and the iPhone turned it into the word still before I
could type anything else. The Braille is not that useful to me anyway
because I can listen much faster than I can read.
	To the contrary, I know of a person who is deaf blind who uses a
QWERTY BrailleNote with the iPhone; the person never told me of any
problems, but that was several years ago.

Hi Greg:

I normally use my iPad with speech muted. I am a heavy Braille user and am
not a big fan of speech. I use both a Braille Sense &S and a Focus 80. 
Next time anyone uses both speech and Braille together, notice how long it
takes to get Braille as opposed to speech output. It's definitely several
seconds behind. Muting speech helps, but the problem still remains. Jaws
does not have this problem.
