How Braille Displays Work:
•
VoiceOver and Braille work together:
• • VoiceOver must be on for the braille display to work!
If an app won’t work with VoiceOver, the braille display won’t work either • Braille chord commands are equivalent to hand gestures used with VoiceOver • Can mute VoiceOver and use only braille for navigation/reading To pair a braille display, go to the
Settings
icon, then select

When you see your braille display under

*Most displays use the code 1234
How Bluetooth Keyboards Work:

• • VoiceOver key commands are equivalent to hand gestures used with VoiceOver Special functions keys act as “hot keys” to volume, music controls, home, search, etc.
