Using a braille display with VoiceOver
You can use a refreshable Bluetooth braille display to read VoiceOver output in braille, and you
can use a braille display with input keys and other controls to control iPhone when VoiceOver is
turned on. iPhone works with many wireless braille displays. For a list of supported displays, go to
www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/braille-display.html.
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.
For information about common braille commands for VoiceOver navigation, and for information
specic to certain displays, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT4400.
The braille display uses the language that’s set for Voice Control. This is normally the language set
for iPhone 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 iPhone, you may need to reset the language for VoiceOver and
your braille display.

other information:

Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Status Cell, and tap Left or Right.
See an expanded description of the status cell: On your braille display, press the status cell’s
router button.
