Using a braille display with VoiceOver

Setting up a braille display

You can use a refreshable Bluetooth braille display to read VoiceOver output in braille. In addition,

braille displays with input keys and other controls can be used to control iPad when VoiceOver

is turned on. iPad works with many of the most popular wireless braille displays. For a list of

supported braille displays, see www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/devicesupport.

Set up a braille display: Turn on the display, then go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and

turn on Bluetooth. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille and choose

the display.

Turn contracted braille on or o∂ Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.

Turn eight-dot braille on or o∂ Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.

Choosing a language

The braille display uses the language that’s set for Voice Control. This is normally the language

that’s set for iPad in Settings > International > Language. You can use the VoiceOver language

setting to set a di∂erent language for VoiceOver and braille displays.

Set the language for VoiceOver: Go to Settings > General > International > Voice Control, then

choose the language.

If you change the language for iPad, you may need to reset the language for VoiceOver and your

braille display.
