Maybe I am crazy, but as a user of a braille no taker, albeit an old one and a Perkins Brailler, I just cannot wrap my head around using an onscreen braille writing tool. Sometimes it would be much wiser but, I have never tried it.

It takes me back to the days when I used a slate and stylus and when you were writing, dots one, two, and three were on the right side. Of course, note takers and braille displays reversed this, but I find it interesting that you have both on the device.

When you land in an edit field turn your rotor once to the right. The Braille keyboard is usually there because the Braille setting on your rotor follows the edit field around. 2. I find it useful to use away mode. For some reason, when in table mode, dots 1, 2, 3 appear on the right so everything is backwards. 3. Once in a way mode, Do not calibrate just write. Unfortunately, when trying to use contracted Braille the app does not echo characters. I like to have characters echoed at this point so I write in unconstructed Braille. 4. Flick once left to erase a character and once right for space. 5. 6. When done rotor once left or right, then you can use VO gestures again.
