I too am experiencing the Braille display hanging when trying to write in Voice Dream Writer and in AccessNote. There are some apps that I can write in with no problem, such as when writing an iMessage, but anytime I try to write in most apps my Focus 14 Blue display shows the for signs on either end and hangs. Hopefully the promises of fixes in 8.3 will take care of these annoyances. As it is, writing on the Braille display is far from enjoyable. For the record, I have automatic translation turned on and am using an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.2.
