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 off Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.
Turn eight-dot braille on or off Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.
For information about common braille commands for VoiceOver navigation, and for information
specific 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 different 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.
You can set the leftmost or rightmost cell of your braille display to provide system status and
other information:

Set the leftmost or rightmost cell to display status information: Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Status Cell, and tap Left or Right.

router button.
