This is true. Most protected fields for entering passwords don't speak
the key after it has been entered. However, when I use the standard
on-screen keyboard I at least hear the letter that my finger is pointing
to before I enter it, which certainly helps to confirm that you're about
to enter the correct character.

Hi,
My guess is that because many password fields are secured (that is you hear
only clicks when the letters are entered), there may not be any way to hear the
braille characters as you enter them. What about using a Bluetooth keyboard to
enter the password?
I know this isn't the answer you wanted, but if there is another way to hear
letters as you enter them I don't know it.

Subject: [blind-philly-comp] Braille screen input
Sent from my iPhone
Hello, I am having a bit of an issue with using Braille screen input on an iPad.
Voiceover is not speaking the characters when I am in a password field which
makes entering passwords very difficult. I have a situation where I need to
uninstall the Zoom app and reinstall it, but if I can’t use Braille screen
input, I
can’t enter my credentials. The onscreen keyboard is too difficult for me to
use. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get Voiceover to speak
the characters I am typing in a password field using Braille screen input? If I
am using my Braille display, Voiceover does speak the characters I am typing,
but not when using Braille screen input. I’m using eight dot computer Braille
as my input. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
