Re: braille keyboard in password/protected fields?

2014-11-05 Thread Alex Hall
Just touch the screen, and don't lift your finger. You'll hear two tones, then 
VoiceOver will tell you you are in Explore Mode. As to the phone moving, if you 
have it right between the two modes, as in around a 45-degree angle, then even 
a small movement will cause it to switch. If you have it more definitely one 
way or the other, it should be fine. Remember that this is relative to the 
ground, so if you have it flat on your leg, but your leg is already at an angle 
to the floor, then the phone will see that as being at the same angle.

Re: braille keyboard in password/protected fields?

2014-11-05 Thread Alex Hall
Dan, there is a bug that renders braille input useless for typing in edit 
fields in Safari, which might be part of the problem. However, entering an App 
Store password, or text in non-webpage areas, works perfectly for me.

Jessica, having it switch modes is by design. Once you spend a bit of time in 
Explore Mode and get to know the different layout, you might find it just as 
easy to use. It's worth trying, as the alternative is not using braille input 
natively at all. I still like MBraille, but I have to say that I never use it 
now because using braille directly in any edit field is so much more efficient.

  I use braille input all the time to enter my iTunes password, my passcode, 
and passwords when logging into services inside apps (such as Dropbox). You 
need to switch it to six dot braille (3-finger swipe right), at least I've 
found that works best for me. Plus, at least when entering your password for 
the app Store, you can just do a two-finger swipe right (the enter gesture) to 
submit and you're done.

Re: braille keyboard in password/protected fields?

2014-11-05 Thread Dan Beaver
Well, I am using 6 dot braille.  However, when trying to enter a password for 
my bank via Safari or my password in the app store and any other protected 
field it speaks nothing as I am typing and when I exit the braille keyboard and 
press the appropriate button I get a password error from the service I am using.

I have also checked the field and there appears to be nothing in it before 
clicking the OK or submit or whatever button.

I think I am going to report this to accessibility and see what they have to 
say about it.

thanks.

Dan Beaver

I use braille input all the time to enter my iTunes password, my passcode, and 
passwords when logging into services inside apps (such as Dropbox). You need to 
switch it to six dot braille (3-finger swipe right), at least I've found that 
works best for me. Plus, at least when entering your password for the app 
Store, you can just do a two-finger swipe right (the enter gesture) to submit 
and you're done.
