For those who don't know, there's an IOS function that allows you to use your braille display or braille input device without having to worry about accidentally touching your screen and activating something you don't want. It's called touch curtain. To activate it using a braille display or braille input system like the orbit writer, press dots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and the space bar at the same time. An alert will appear telling you what touch curtain does. Press ok and it will activate for you, making your screen unable to use so that your braille display or braille input device can take over. #Blind #Apple, #IOS
@NicksWorld This is just my perspective--but I just mute speech when using my Braille display. What happens if you loose connectivity with your Braille display and yet touch curtain is on? Maybe there's a way around that possibility, but I'm cautious. I don't want my phone to be unusable.
@Lynn It turns off automatically.
@NicksWorld Turns off automatically when? What the trigger?
@Lynn When the braille display is disconnected from your phone, touch curtain is automatically turnned off so you have control with your screen.
@NicksWorld Disconnected as in turning off the display? That might work, although my phone auto locks in low power mode, so if that disabled touch curtain, I wouldn't like that either. Then I'd just have to re-enable touch curtain. I don't use sound curtain either, for much the same reason.
