It’s for people with low vision who might not need voiceover. I like it, because it’ll read a book with the iPhone sleeping, which voiceover can’t do. Egun On, Lagunak! (basque for G'day, Mates Louie P (Pete) Nalda Facebook.com/lpnalda Linkedin.com/in/lpnalda Twitter: @lpnalda > On Jun 22,

The settings under accessibility, Spoken Content, are mostly directed at people who do not use VoiceOver. Speak Selection puts up a button when text is selected so you can have that text spoken. Speak screen allows you to swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen and have it read;

Speak screen is primarily for non-VoiceOver users in my opinion. It allows the screen to be spoken when you do a two finger swipe down from the top of the screen, i.e. the status bar. When this is on, you can then lock your phone and it will keep reading. Some people find this useful when reading

My understanding is the same. MBraille and similar apps type text, but they save it internally; the actual screen holds only the keyboard. Braille Screen Input in iOS itself will work just fine, I imagine, because text is actually entered in real time. On Mar 16, 2015, at 3:48 AM, Christopher

Correct, however with contracted Braille input the text is held in some kind of buffer until you press space or newline. This is because the translator can't figure out otherwise if for example you mean b or but. There is a gesture to translate the word immediately though: two finger flick
