Hello -Captain-,
Thanks for posting! As we understand it, you're finding that the dots for entering braille on your iPhone do not respond as expected, but the same function works on your iPad. Is that correct?
To rule out a few possibilities, does your iPhone display work as expected otherwise, or has it sometimes had issues with responding? Knowing this would help in narrowing the issue down.
In addition to the steps you've taken already, have you tried to Restart your iPhone and test again?
Also, just to verify, have you reviewed the gestures and actions listed here? Type braille directly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Do any of these actions work as expected?
You can enter braille with your iOS or iPadOS device lying flat in front of you (tabletop mode), or with the device facing away so that your fingers curl back to tap the screen (screen-away mode).
First, make sure that VoiceOver is turned on, then set the VoiceOver rotor to Braille Screen Input. If Braille Screen Input isn't in the rotor, go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then turn on Braille Screen Input.
Now you can enter braille characters by tapping the screen with one finger or several fingers at the same time. You can also perform these actions:
- Enter a space: Swipe right with one finger.
- Delete the previous character: Swipe left with one finger.
- Move to a new line: Swipe right with two fingers.
- Cycle through spelling suggestions: Swipe up or down with one finger.
- Enter a carriage return, or send a message: Swipe up with three fingers.
- Switch between six-dot braille and contracted braille: Swipe right with three fingers.
- Translate immediately (when contractions are enabled): Swipe down with two fingers.
- Switch to the next keyboard: Swipe up with two fingers.
To exit Braille Screen Input, do a two-finger scrub or adjust the rotor to another setting."
Best wishes.
