Seeking Tips for Improving Screen Braille Input Accuracy on iOS 26

Hello fellow AppleVis community members,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’m reaching out to ask for advice and shared experiences regarding the use of the Screen Braille Input feature on iPhone, especially from those who have transitioned to iOS 26 and use newer models like the iPhone 17.
Overall, I highly appreciate this feature as it allows me to type quickly without a physical keyboard. However, I’ve encountered a specific challenge concerning input accuracy, particularly when I use my iPhone without a protective case.
😩 The Problem
When typing using the Screen Braille Input feature (in the upside-down/Tabletop mode), I frequently and accidentally touch the edges or bezel of the screen. Due to the very thin bezel design of modern iPhones, these unintentional touches are often registered as input by VoiceOver, leading to:
* Inaccurate or incorrect characters being typed.
* The application misinterpreting the touch position, causing unwanted corrections or characters.
This significantly impacts my typing accuracy and speed.
🤔 Questions & Request for Advice
Do any of you have specific tips or techniques for improving accuracy when typing using Screen Braille Input, especially when using the device without a case?
* Is there a way to re-calibrate the touch area to be more focused on the center?
* Are there specific hand or finger placement techniques that can minimize accidental touches to the screen edges?
* Is using Contracted Braille mode better at overcoming this issue compared to Eight-Dot Braille?
I would be extremely grateful for any insights and shared experiences from the community. Thank you very much in advance!
Warm regards:
Indra.
