Hi. I'm starting to find that braille screen input has become increasingly Laghi since the beginning of iOS 18. I'm running an iPhone 16 that iOS 18.4.1 and all apps and firmware are up-to-date. Is it just me? The other thing to note is I do have a screen protector on my phone that is tempered glass. Would this make a difference? I've always had one on and have noticed a difference even so.
iOS and iPadOS

I recently purchased an iPhone 15. I have noticed some BSI behaviors on this iPhone 15 that I have not previously experienced on any older models, and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these and, if so, maybe you can provide some tips or solutions.

What happened to the, so called, Braille touch app, that was rumored to be released months ago. It seemed for once, that we, as a blind community, would have a more than seficient Braille input app for messaging and emailing.

Students and teachers at Georgia Tech University have apparently created an app that will allow users to type Braille with an iOS device facing away from them.
Here is a link to the You Tube demo... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIEO1bUFHsI
And here is a link to volunteer to be a tester of the software... http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~mromero/brailletouch/
I can't wait!

Greetings from BrailleTouch!
I am very excited to announce that BrailleTouch will be available on the App Store on Thu Jan 31 worldwide. We offer a free trial version, which lets you type in braille on your touchscreen and hear the letters or words spoken as you type them. If you like BrailleTouch and find it useful, you can purchase a full upgrade from the app which will allow you to send text messages, tweets, and emails directly from the touchscreen braille keyboard.

Hi,
I am using Iphone 4S and have installed Braillist. I like the app but had some issues which I wanted to discuss with the developer. I posted comments on her website but no response is forthcoming. Does anyone use the app confidently? Could someone help? Also, does the developer follow the forums on this site? Please do help. Highly appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Friends,
I actually thought I loved the app but I am quite confused: I have following questions:
1 Can I select grade of input? How?
2 Can I create more grade II letters/combinations?
3 How do I get letter echo while typing/deleting?
4 Can I edit whthin a letter E.G. I have pressed a wrong number can I do something before pressing “next” button?
There may be some more questions but these can get me started. Please do help.
With best wishes,
Ketan Kothari

Hi, My name is Surabhi and I live in San Francisco, CA. I’m the developer of Braillist - a free braille keyboard for the iPhone. I believe that accessible technology should be accessible to individuals from all economic backgrounds. This is often not the case and for this reason, I'm proud that the community of people using Braillist is steadily growing. Special thanks to all members of the blind and sighted community who have given me constructive feedback over the past weeks and months.

I'm trying to find some apps where I can do some brain training. I know there's Fast Math and Accessible Math, but what else? Any grammar ones? Spelling? Not looking for trivia apps, but will take suggestions for them, because maybe that will change.

Hi,
I have been using Brave a lot recently & really like it. I have it set as my default browser on all my devices.
When trying to delete bookmarks under iOS16.3 with either the current AppStore version or the beta, the app immediately crashes.
I’ve reported this via their forum, Twitter, Mastodon & an AppStore review I left this evening.
Has anyone else seen this?
The current version of Brave is 1.4.7.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

LookTell will soon post its newist app called Breadcrumbs for ten dollars. However, there is another app with the same name but from a company called Kengin and seems to offer about the same thing only a little different. Does anyone know if this is a helpfull and accessible app to use? Any feedback would be fantastic.

Hi all,
My wife has an iPhone 14 pro max running IOS 17.
She uses magnification in the form of the zoom feature which she has enabled from under vision settings. She also has voiceover enabled.
She needs the screen brightness to be at 100%. The iPhone however keeps reducing this brightness to about 40% or less. This is despite turning off automatic features like true tone, adaptive brightness.
Is this brightness reduction hard codded into the phone or can it be disabled?

hi all, i don't know about anyone else, but i was really disappointed when IOS5 came out and daniel became the default british voice. personally i can't stand him and would really like the choice, if serena was available i'd actually use the british voice instead of karen. anyone else in the UK agree? it will be nice if they gave us a choice of female and male voice too. amy

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows of a British English dictionary app that allows you to hear how a word is pronounced after you’ve looked it up spoken by a human voice? :-) Might be a longshot but thought I’d ask anyway. Or just does anyone know if British English dictionaries in general if there isn’t one with spoken pronunciations available.

hey yawl, hope you are well.
I am a user who uses British text to speech and a question is bothering me since I have started using the iPhone.
USA voice are much higher quoloty and pronounces everything as perfect as a TTS can bee. however, the British voices are short of being perfect.
they have a lot of miss pronunciation problems and they cannot read the dates in both formats since I live in the USA and love both worlds equally.

I am having trouble navigating a table on a particular web page. Specifically if anyone is using "Full View" on the Fidelity Investments web site, the "Net Worth" table. This is a three column table The first colomn has a single cell that "Spans" all the rows. When I go to the cecond column and try to navigate the individual rows I can only get to the first and last rows. Any suggestions on navigating complicated tables with this type of structure?
