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

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.
