Hi Flor,
Many thanks for your reply. Have you an example of an App and a website that
this is happening on – I would like to investigate this further.
Looking forward to your reply.
Warmest Regards,
Daniel.

And now, cometh the bad news.
This is not limited to entry in Braille; but I’ve found a few apps/Web sites
where VoiceOver in iOS14.1 no longer let me move to the next field with the
usual swipes or down-arrow etc, but wants to ‘back’ out again. I have to
explore the screen by touch, and double-tap at the point(s)where I want to
input data. ‘Awkward’ is a very mild description of the problem.

Hi Daniel and All,
When the App Store wouldn’t load for me on Saturday night, I decided that it
was time to get iOS14.1 on board. So I downloaded and installed it.
So far, my experience using it on a 6s has been good, apart from one
non-Braille-related podcast app that no longer works on iOS14 – the solution to
that was to (more or less) delete and then re-download the (working) version
from the Ap Store.
Also I have had no VoiceOver focus loss issues so far.
I’ve found that the Braille Auto Advance works well, and I may even make a
suggestion or two to Vispero on how they could improve their rendering – Apple
have it moving by smaller invervals, like 0.1 of a second rather than 0.5 in
the FS/Vispero implementation.
One or two other little things: Apple now use abbreviations in Braille such as
tb for Tab and sch for Search, along with the usual btn for Button.
It’s early days yet with me, but I may say I haven’t yet found any issues with
Braille in iOS14.x. (I use the Focus Braille display for a lot of my navigation
and reading articles etc when I want detail. I also like to read nonfiction
books thus.)

Hi Flor,
Many thanks for getting back to me re: iOS14. Can you explain the Focus Jumping
Issue a little more to me? I notice that an update 14.01 was released earlier
this week, so perhaps they addressed this issue… one ponders!
Warmest Regards and Stay Safe,
Daniel.
PS: Dereck, I’m getting your emails too!

Hi Dereck, All,
Because of my pretty negative experiences when I first downloaded and installed
iOS13 last year - serious battery drain necessitating my getting a replacement
battery, annoying auto-repeating notifications, etc, - I haven’t yet taken the
plunge into iOS14. Whenever I do install iOS14, I’m looking forward to
experimenting with the new auto-advance feature in Braille seettingsd (It’s
said to work great.) I’m not looking forward to having the focus jumping
issue, which many people seem to experience in iOS14.
