No, I'm not aware of any difference.

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.

typing with voiceover things would show up on the screen and when I
did not sorry and when I had voiceover on it would not tell me what I
was typing

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.

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?
