[blindkid] any tips using braille display with an ipad?

[Penny Duffy]

It handles contractions great. If its a word to be contacted its contracted
on the braille display (there is a setting) and if you type a contraction
it puts it in print on the screen.  Even says the words as you type them if
you have the voice over sound on (easy to turn on and off)
