Hi Claire,
It’s for Android only, and can use either a Bluetooth keyboard, or your screen.
It won’t work on an iPhone at all.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Advanced-Braille-Keyboard(A.B.K) released
Hi, as someone who thinks very highly of braille, I am always on the lookout
for things like this so I was delighted to see this message in my inbox. I have
a few questions:
1. Is this a physical device which is being made to connect with your iPhone,
or is it in the form of an app?
2. You mention braille screen input quite a few times, IOS has this feature
already as part of voiceover, what are the advantages of ABK over braille
screen input?
Warm Regards, Claire Potter, Check out my brand new website:
