I really hope they fix the last few words redisplaying in braille from
the previous page. It's a major slow down for someone on a smaller
display.

 Voice Dream Reader with a Braille Display

 Written by Nicky on the VIPhone users List

 I am using a BrailleNote Apex BT32 and an iPhone 4S, but I hope these
 basic instructions will be general enough to work with any Braille display
 and iOS device.

 1.  With a file open in Voice Dream, locate the first element on the
 screen by pressing Space with dots 1-2-3 on the Braille keyboard.

 2.  Move through the various elements using Space with dot 4 or an
 equivalent command that may be available if your Braille display has
 navigation keys, until you reach the words 'Next item'.

 3.  You can now start reading the contents of the file by panning the
 Braille display to the right in the usual way, i.e. pressing Space with
 dot 5 or using an equivalent command, if available on your display.
 Continue to pan the display to the right until you reach the end of the
 block of text that is currently visible.  You will know that you have
 reached the end when the focus lands on the 'Bookmarks' button.

 4.  Now pan the Braille display once to the left, using Space with dot 2
 or an equivalent navigation command.  This will move the focus back into
 the text area, at the beginning of the page you have just read, and the
 Braille display will be blank.  This step is important; otherwise the
 Scroll command in the next step will not work.

 5.  To scroll to the next page of text, press Space with dots 1-4-5-6.
 This is the 'Scroll down one page' command and it is the equivalent of a
 'Three-finger swipe up' using VoiceOver on the touchscreen.  To scroll up
 to the previous page, press Space with dots 3-4-5-6, which is the
 equivalent of a 'three-finger swipe down'.

 6.  Once the Scroll command has been executed, the Braille display briefly
 shows the percentage of progress through the file, and then it goes blank.
 The focus is placed at the beginning of the next page of text and you can
 read it by panning repeatedly to the right in the usual way, until you
 reach the 'Bookmarks' button again.  Repeat these steps to continue
 reading through the file.

 NOTE:  You will notice that the text overlaps slightly from one page to
 the next, so the last few words of the previous page are repeated at the
 beginning of the next page.

 Happy reading,

 Nicky
