Hello,
I also have a braillant bi40 and would like to be able to use my iphone
wiwhtout speech.
Some things that you can do to make the process more efficient if you
want to just use braille:
use the spotlight feature (hit cmd-h from the home screen) to search for
the app that you need.
If you want to search for text within an app, for example safari but
really any hap doubletap the screen three times and you will get the
item choser with an edit field, if you want to cancel the item choser
you have to use the command that emulates the home button (cmd-h).
I am still experimenting with selecting/cutting or copying text while
using a braille display which i believe would be a lot more efficient,
at least for me, then doing it by using the touch screen.
Things that are difficult or that you cant do (to my knowledge) by just
using the braille display):
If you are using a word processor and you have to leave the app and then
go back to it then the vo focus within the document will be lost. This
is not limited to braille display though.
Double tap and hold is one of the gestures already mentioned that you
cannot do, to my knowledge.
Also, if you have a table index and you want to doubletap and hold and
move up and down i dont know how to do this on a braille display.
Furthermore if you have lists that you need to change by swiping up and
down (for example to change a value in the standard iphone alarm clock)
i dont know if you can do this. I have several apps that make use of
this gesture and now have to go to the touchscreen and turn the speech on.
If anyone has any more tips/suggestions to make more effective use of
your iphone and just braille display this would be greatly appreciated

Jim,
I also have a TBI32 that is paired with a 4S and with an iPad 1st gen. You can
do most, but not all things with braille, unless I'm missing something. You
can't, for example, do the double tap hold from a braille display. If you can,
please somebody let me know how. Also, and I suppose obviously, if you need to
pair or repair the display, you need to interact with the touch screen and hear
the speech output to accomplish that task. And some things, like opening an app
whose place you know on the touch screen are more efficient with touch than
with the braille display, simply because you can go right to the app and double
tap it. No sequential arrowing to get there. None of these things are specific
to the TBI-32, which is, in my opinion, an excellent display that works quite
well with the iPhone.
