Re: iOS 10, iMessages and braille screen input question

Hi again!
Actually not. If you double tap the text field in iMessage and
  raise the phone to your ear you'll hear the sound and you can
  begin to talk. The moment you take  your device down the audio
  iMessage will be sent. If you have your device unlocked and
  receive audio iMessage when you raise the phone you can listen to
  it.

Is your phone in portrait lock?

I would guess no.  I noticed on my phone, that when switching to landscape 
mode, it would call the edit field the handwriting area.  This can be a little 
confusing.  I would guess this is what you are hearing.

Hope this helps,

Re: iOS 10, iMessages and braille screen input question

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Anna,

I have been having trouble writing text messages with the on screen braille 
keyboard since iOS 8, and I have not found a solution yet.
Now, I will say that I do not have trouble with the on screen braille keyboard 
anywhere else, just in the messages app.  This is what happens.

* I first open messages, then open the conversation screen for who I want to 
send the message too.
* I go down to the bottom of the screen and double tap on the message field to 
type my message.
* I turn my rotor to braille input and hold my phone in landscape mode, getting 
ready to type.
* When I try typing on the on screen braille keyboard, nothing happens.  As 
soon as I turn my phone back to portrait mode, I hear a beep like sound, and 
when I check, I find out that a message was recorded, and the beep was it 
ending.

It seems that somehow by putting the phone in landscape mode to type, activates 
the recording button, and then putting it back in portrait mode turns off the 
recording button.
I have tried it with portrait mode locked, and unlocked.  I have no idea why 
the recording button is being activated, and I know this is strange, but I can 
not find a solution or work around.

If you have any ideas of a possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Re: iOS 10, iMessages and braille screen input question

[Jan Kleinhans]

Hi

I tried this on my iphone 6, writing a message to my wife, who also has an 
iphone, but I was not seeing this problem.  I could do the braille writing 
with no problem whatsoever.

Hi Woody,

I have gone to the rotor, made sure handwriting is not selected.

After I select the recipient, I flick to the right with one finger, go 
past the digital touch button and find the message area.
I double tap witha single finger to make sure I have an edit field, then 
select braille screen input.
I turn my phone to landscape mode, and then hear "handwriting area"  (even 
though handwriting is not selected).


Sratching head.
Maybe I'll do a reset of the settings and start from scratch.
(I forgot to say I'm running an iPhone 6).

Hi Bob,

Make sure Handwriting isn't on. You should be able to have both on, but 
if you're not using it, maybe getting it out of the way will help. Go to 
Settings/General/Accessibility/VoiceOver/Rotor, and make sure Handwriting 
isn't selected.


Also, make sure you're in the message body, not digital touch.

I hope that helps. I routinely use onscreen braille input to write text 
messages, so it can definitely be done.


Best,
Anna

iOS 10, iMessages and braille screen input question

[Robert Hill]

Hello all, 

I have an issue when trying to compose an iMessage when attempting to use 
braille screen input. 
After I select the recipient of my iMessage, I go to the body and use the rotor 
to move to braille screen input. 
My phone says braille screen input, and I need to change to landscape to use 
BSI. 
But then I hear about a handwriting area, and I can't use BSI, the area is all 
about handwriting. 
If I flip my phone back to portrait mode, I can use the onscreen keyboard just 
fine. 

Any suggestions for a work around?
