Is there any difference between using the blue tooth keyboard with an IPhone 4s, and an IPhone 6? Anyone had experience using it with this particular phone?

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. This isn't my experience with a bluetooth keyboard and my iPhone 4S. You can configure in your keyboard settings whether VoiceOver will echo what you're typing or not. Also, as I said below, you have to manually turn quick nav off if you want to enter text into an edit field in IOS 8. This was automatic in previous versions of IOS. Of course, you're edit field also needs to be active, which you can do by double tapping it on the screen or using a VoiceOver command from your keyboard.

No, a bluetooth keyboard should work just fine with an iPhone 4S. That's what I have, and I use a bluetooth keyboard with it from time to time. Make sure you know your VoiceOver keyboard commands and turn quick nav off when you get into an edit field. Hit the left and right arrows simulataneously to toggle quic nav.

I have tried using a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone for S running iOS eight and it did not work. When I turned it on it would only work without voiceover. Is this normal prices was I doing something wrong? Does this only work with devices that are a lot more current? Any help would be much appreciated thank you

Hi Kim,

It isn't difficult at all. In fact, it makes life easier for someone like me who doesn't enjoy doing a lot of typing on a touch screen. Just get
it working and I think you will like it.

I imagine this is quite a bit different than using a screen reader like Window-Eyes. Does anyone have any pointers about this, or is there some
kind of tutorial out there?  Am I thinking this is going to be more
difficult than it actually is?
