Jason CastonguaySo I may be a little behind on this, but I wondered where #Braille Access mode in #iOS & #Mac stores BRF files. I created a test one to find out and found the folder in iCloud Drive. Now that it’s there, I can put other BRF files in it and read them easily with my connected braille display – no having to offload to the display itself. Quite useful. #BrailleAccess FTW
Okay, folks. regarding #BrailleAccess in #iOS26. There have been a few folks who could not get toggling Braille Input to work with Vo+y, me included. One of them was a mantis user. Anyway, being that vo+y was mentioned as the Braille Input toggle key, we ended up forcing it to work, by going into voiceover settings,, commands, all commands, and looking for Toggle Braille Input. Double-tap on that and press y on your bt keyboard. then double tap on done. Now assigned.
Okay, was working with #BrailleAccess in iOS26. For the hell of it, I was going to test #LiveCaption. However, when I try bringing it up, using my Humanware #NLSEReader, I get the following:
Unsupported language or region.
Hmmmm! Is it an issue with the NLS eReader or does this only work with certain Braille displays? It should not make a difference which Braille table I'm using, and this is in English, and of course, we're in the USA. So, ...

Okay, I'm still kind of trying to figure out the purpose of #BrailleAccess in #iOS26, especially for braille displays that already have a built-in notetaker, BRF reader, and calculator. I can see it however for those of us with NLS eReaders, since we don't have a note taker in em. Not poo-pooing, just trying to understand this particular paradigm.
