Wayne, Wayne, Wayne! Great ideas. I love, love, love Braille. And yet, even after all these years, I cannot use Braille Screen Input. I have tried and tried and tried but, for some reason, I cannot seem to wrap my mind around how it works. Isn’t that something? I guess you can’t teach an old dog new Braille Screen Input tricks, (smile).

First, improvements to Braille Screen Input, such as iOS keeping up with my brailling speed. Often I am able to write text at a comfortable speed. But there are times when I have to recallobrate the dot positions, or switch back and forth between uncontracted and contracted input in order to get my text entered correctly. I recall reading something in the last few years where Apple said they would address this, but I still find it clunky. I would also like to see improvements to focuses, specifically being able to enter different start and end times for weekends versus weekdays for Do Not Disturb. If this was added and I missed it then great. But the last time I looked, I did not see this level of detail. Considering they made enhancements in iOS 16 to Focus, I was disappointed when I looked and did not find this in Do Not Disturb. That's all I can think of right now. Apple has a great track record for accessibility. Unfortunately, they also have a record for introducing features which may make a difference for people, and then not doing anything else with them. Do Not Disturb being a case in point. One other thing I just thought of: the ability to better filter mail in the native iOS app. True, there are some filter options, but they barely scratch the surface in my opinion. I am able to set detailed filters in Gmail on the web. It seems that setting the same level of filters should also be possible in an app. I have tried several, including the Gmail app, Outlook, and the native iOS mail app, but have not found one that I totally like or that has the level of filtering that I'm looking for.

There is a certain number that both calls and texts to let me know about my next day's transportation. I only want a text, not both. They don't seem willing to fix it, I know it can be done. So, I wish Apple would give me the option to block calls, texts, or both. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone S E 3 On May 31, 2023, at 10:58 AM, M.

I am looking forward to the WWDC 2023 keynote presentation, next week. You know? The only software feature that I really want added to the OS is the ability to permanently save and organize iMessage content into folders. Are there any features, accessibility-related or not, that you would like to see introduced next week? I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to reading your replies.
