Q: Apple bluetooth keyboard doesn't allow text input on iOS 8 with voice over but allows navigation using arrow keys?
Hi, upgraded to iOS 8 on my blind sister's iPad 2 but now the Apple Bluetooth keyboard doesn't seem to recognise text entry, the arrow keys still allow navigation using voiceover. Have had trouble before with the keyboard in iOS7 but have solved by reseting the iPad in settings. Any ideas? Sister is really struggling as she can't use iPad's software keyboard. Thanks

My wife is a blind user too. In iOS 8 it is fussy about Quick Nav. on or off. We have an newer iPad but be sure Quick Nav is OFF (left + right arrows together) then try text entry. Hope it helps!
