[NJTechDiv] hit a snag

Hi, what specifically are you interested in knowing about this?  The first thing you need to do is put it in your rotor:
* Go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor.
* Make sure that "Braille Screen Input" is selected.

To use it, go to a text field and spin your rotor to "Braille Screen Input."  You then need to tell VoiceOver where your fingers are supposed to go.  I've found the best way to do this is to place 4-5-6 (the right side of the cell) on the screen, followed (quickly) by dots 1-2-3.  So, in other words, the right three fingers, quickly followed by the left three fingers.  VoiceOver should confirm this by telling you your dot positions are calibrated.  Now, type in Braille like you normally would on a Braille notetaker or similar.  For a  space, swipe right with one finger; to backspace, swipe left with one finger.  To delete a word, swipe left with 2 fingers.  To input a new line, swipe right with two fingers.  It's worth noting that your phone will put itself in landscape mode with the charging port to the left.  Also, I've found that you're unable to put all 6 fingers on the screen (meaning that you can't input the "FOR" symbol).

> Hi NJ tech division was looking on applevis for the braille keyboard input and read the whole item but when I went to the podcast link to maybe follow along and set it up I got a podcast no longer available is there any other tutorial or tutorials available of the quality of some of eric’s freedom scientific tutorials where I can do the thing I want with the iPhone.  That braille keyboard input is absolutely essential for me to using the iPhone effectively especially if as I do I’ll want to install apps like newsline, alexa,and team talk.  I can maybe learn by reading that guide but would rather hear what it actually would sound like doing it.  So far as I know rick fox is the only member of the division that uses braille screen input.
