Voice Dream Reader with a Braille Display

 

Written by Nicky on the VIPhone users List

 

I am using a BrailleNote Apex BT32 and an iPhone 4S, but I hope these basic
instructions will be general enough to work with any Braille display and iOS
device.

 

1.  With a file open in Voice Dream, locate the first element on the screen
by pressing Space with dots 1-2-3 on the Braille keyboard.

 

2.  Move through the various elements using Space with dot 4 or an
equivalent command that may be available if your Braille display has
navigation keys, until you reach the words 'Next item'.

 

3.  You can now start reading the contents of the file by panning the
Braille display to the right in the usual way, i.e. pressing Space with dot
5 or using an equivalent command, if available on your display.  Continue to
pan the display to the right until you reach the end of the block of text
that is currently visible.  You will know that you have reached the end when
the focus lands on the 'Bookmarks' button.

 

4.  Now pan the Braille display once to the left, using Space with dot 2 or
an equivalent navigation command.  This will move the focus back into the
text area, at the beginning of the page you have just read, and the Braille
display will be blank.  This step is important; otherwise the Scroll command
in the next step will not work.

 

5.  To scroll to the next page of text, press Space with dots 1-4-5-6.  This
is the 'Scroll down one page' command and it is the equivalent of a
'Three-finger swipe up' using VoiceOver on the touchscreen.  To scroll up to
the previous page, press Space with dots 3-4-5-6, which is the equivalent of
a 'three-finger swipe down'.

 

6.  Once the Scroll command has been executed, the Braille display briefly
shows the percentage of progress through the file, and then it goes blank.
The focus is placed at the beginning of the next page of text and you can
read it by panning repeatedly to the right in the usual way, until you reach
the 'Bookmarks' button again.  Repeat these steps to continue reading
through the file.

 

NOTE:  You will notice that the text overlaps slightly from one page to the
next, so the last few words of the previous page are repeated at the
beginning of the next page.

 

Happy reading,

 

Nicky

Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone is using a Braille display with the App Voice dream
to read books or documents. I am just wondering how well it all works.
Thanks.
