Hi Richard, I appreciate your suggestions. I am a very experienced iPhone user, and I don't have any trouble with swiping or scrolling, except when it comes to dismissing the MBraille keyboard. I also don't have trouble typing in MBraille proper. My issues are only with the third party keyboard functionality. I've done all the usual troubleshooting steps, making sure the keyboard was enabled and full access was on, reinstalling the app, cycling power, and so on. Like Brett, I've had trouble dismissing the keyboard since the feature was first introduced. However, my keyboard input problems just started with the 6S Plus. Although I had trouble dismissing the keyboard on my 5C, I could at least type with it. I appreciate the suggestion of dealing with the split screen. However, as soon as I manipulate the phone even slightly to get into position to type, the iPhone alternates between split screen and normal view, and the keyboard is dismissed. So still stumped on this one.
Cheryl Rejoice always! Pray continually. Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 HCSB Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 26, 2016, at 9:21 PM, Richard Turner <richardturne...@outlook.com> > wrote: > > First, in the mBraille settings, try turning on tutor mode and make sure you > are hitting the right place on the screen for the various dots. > > Second, The underscore means that you are essentially tapping with three > fingers instead of swiping. > I tried really hard to duplicate what you are getting and the only way I > could is if I touched with three fingers and lifted up as opposed to swiping > with three fingers. > I don’t know how to describe the difference exactly.
