Re: ibooks ios with braille display?
You can also read to the page chooser and then use dot 6 with space to adjust the value to the next page, then do a space with dots 1-2-3 to go to the top. The down side of this is you have to move past the 5 buttons at the top of the screen to get to the text on the page. It gets easier the morr you do it though and I often do this without thinking about it. Wayne On 4/26/14, Teresa Cochran batsfly...@me.com wrote: I read iBooks constantly with a Braille display.

RE: ibooks iOS with braille display?
Hello Anouk, What type of Braille display are you using? IF you are using the Focus 14/40/80 Blue with your iPhone running iOS 5 or later, you can use the right rocker bar to perform the horizontal page change. This is handy as you read because you don't have to lift your fingers off of the display to perform the dots 135-chord (dots 135 plus Space) command or the three finger swipe left.

I read iBooks constantly with a Braille display. Depending on how many buttons you have, you can use them to change horizontal pages. Also, you can use dots 1-3-5-space and dots 2-4-6 space to change to next or previous page.
