I've noticed this with VDR, but not with a Braille display. I'll have

read the text instead of any of the VDR voices, the last line of the
text often gets skipped when moving onto the next page; this happens

I think this can happen in a book that has a lot of images. Try touching the

Hi Mary,
Auto-panning was added in iOS 8, and it makes reading books very easy. With
iBooks and Voice dream Reader, there's a message when the page changes saying
what page you're on; you can either wait for this to go away or press a cursor
routing button to make it go away immediately. In

Hi Eden.
Have you tried changing the rotor with speech turned on, and it's
still not working? Sometimes, braille fails to show the rotor

back off again. I assume you are using space with dot 6 or dot 3 to

Hi,
In the accessibility settings, there is a Braille option in the Voiceover part.
You can choose both input and output for Braille displays. This was confusing
at first, because my display was doing weird things too, and once I turned both
input and output to contracted Braille, all works
Hi, teresa,
Even with automatic braille translation on, pressing dots 4-5-chord can help
get the braille caught up with you. This is particularly true when you type
text and can't press Enter until text entry has caught up. I hope that's of
some help.

Hi Teresa.
I can write quite fast, but I see the problem, things are looking a little

I do not have a solution. I like the fact that you can read contracted braille
and write uncontracted if you like, but there are bugs, and I do not know how
to get them corrected as soon
Thanks, Anna, that is helpful indeed. I'll give it a try. I like both modes for
different reasons, so I'll play around and see which I like better. I used to

The other thing you can do is hit space with g to turn contracted
