Using a braille display with VoiceOver

You can use a refreshable Bluetooth braille display to read VoiceOver output in braille, and you can use a braille display with input keys and other controls to control iPad when VoiceOver

is turned on. iPad works with many of the most popular wireless braille displays. For a list of supported braille displays, go to www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/braille-display.html.

Set up a braille display: Turn on the display, then go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and

turn on Bluetooth. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille and choose the display.

Turn contracted braille on or off	Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.
Turn eight-dot braille on or off	Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.

For information about common braille commands for VoiceOver navigation, and for information specific to certain displays, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT4400.

The braille display uses the language that’s set for Voice Control. This is normally the language that’s set for iPad in Settings > International > Language. You can use the VoiceOver language setting to set a different language for VoiceOver and braille displays.

Set the language for VoiceOver: Go to Settings > General > International > Voice Control, then choose the language.

If you change the language for iPad, you may need to reset the language for VoiceOver and your braille display.

You can set the leftmost or rightmost cell of your braille display to provide system status and other information:

ÂÂ Announcement History contains an unread message

ÂÂ The current Announcement History message hasn’t been read ÂÂ VoiceOver speech is muted

ÂÂ The iPad battery is low (less than 20% charge) ÂÂ iPad is in landscape orientation

ÂÂ The screen display is turned off

ÂÂ The current line contains additional text to the left ÂÂ The current line contains additional text to the right

Set the leftmost or rightmost cell to display status information: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Status Cell, then tap Left or Right.

See an expanded description of the status cell: On your braille display, press the status cell’s router button.
