New In iOS 8: Braille Screen Input




AppleVis Podcast show

Summary: <p>In this podcast, Alex Hall introduces us to Braille Screen Input, a new feature found in iOS 8 which Alex says could well be his favorite addition to this version of iOS. A <a href="http://www.applevis.com/guides/braille-ios/introduction-braille-screen-input-ios-8">text version of this guide</a> is also available.</p> <p>Like 3rd party apps such as MBraille, this new input mode allows you to use Braille directly on the touchscreen of your iOS device. However, unlike those apps, this is a native feature, making it accessible right across iOS; use it to type braille anywhere you would normally use the on-screen keyboard, from your passcode to an email to a Spotlight search to, well, any text field you can think of.</p> <p>Alex tells us how to enable and access Braille Screen input, and then demonstrates it in action.</p>
