Section 5 : Input text using Braille-Screen-Input
Before using this feature, make sure your device has multitouch capability, using applications like
'Multi Touch Test by Spencer studios'.
You cannot use this feature if maximum touch count supported on screen is less than five simultaneous touch.
In android 10 and older versions, multitouch feature conflicts with the explore-by-touch feature, so one has to suspend TalkBack, before using Braille-Screen-Input.
So update your Android Accessibility Suite(TalkBack), and enable shortcut to suspend TalkBack.
Or you could install 'Commentary-Screen-Reader(CSR)' application, which saves you from the trouble of suspending your screenreader, everytime you type.
There will be default six dots arranged on your screen. If you want to reassign the dots to suit your fingers touch and slightly drag six fingers.
When you are assigning dots, make sure to release the fingers as soon as you hear caliberation sound.
Different types of Braille-Screen-Inputs are available in A.B.K.
They are Two-Hand-Screen-Outward which is the default for phones, Lap-Top-3-2-1-4-5-6 which is default for Tablet, Automatic, and Manual.
You can change braille screen type from Braille-Screen-Input option in settings.
Recovery window : If text does not appear after closing keyboard, a recovery window will appear when one enter in edit field with following options.
1 Commit lost text : Insert lost text in the focused field.
2 Start from lost text : Recover text and start typing at the end.
3 Start normally : Discards uncommited text and start braille-screen-input as usual way.
4 Close keyboard : Simply close recovery window.
5 Switch to secondary keyboard.
Note 1 : Two Finger Long Swipe Down - Will close the keyboard.
Since Status-bar and Navigation-bar are considered as typing area, the back button won't be available to close keyboard.
So one has to use two finger long swipe down to close keyboard.
That is hold with one hand and swipe with other hand from top to bottom of the screen.
Note 2 : Lap-Top-3-2-1-4-5-6, and Two-Hand-Screen-Outward, needs your device to support six simultaneous touch to reassign.
Note 3 : Two Finger Long Swipe Left - Will change Keyboard or show keyboard selection dialog.
Note 4 : Make sure turn off notifications, for an uninterrupted typing experience.
Two-Hand-Screen-Outward
Here you have to tightly hold your phone from backside within your two palms,
with the top and the bottom of your phone on your hands.
so that the screen is visible to a person infront of you.
Left hand fingers will get 1, 2, 3 and right hand will get 4, 5, 6 respectively.
In Two-Hand-Screen-Outward, one can reassign while typing by simply slightly dragging six fingers together.
When your rotations is correct, you can lock the auto rotation by holding dot-6 and swiping dot-1 to left, and holding dot-6 and swiping dot-1 to right will unlock the auto rotation.
Lap-Top-3-2-1-4-5-6
The Lap-Top-3-2-1-4-5-6 is the default type for Tablets. Remember to place your left hand towards the front camera side of your device and right hand towards the home button of your device .
Here
Left ring finger represents dot 3,
Left middle finger dot 2,
Left index finger dot 1,
Right index finger dot 4,
Right middle finger dot 5,
Right ring finger dot 6.
In Lap-Top mode, one can reassign while typing by simply slightly dragging six fingers together.
The finger in the left end will get dot-3, next right will get dot-2,
next right dot-1, and remaining will get 4, 5, and 6.
You shall feel a vibration, if any of your fingers is on the border of the screen.
Automatic
The motive behind this layout is to simplify the burden of switching between Lap-Top, Two-Hand-Screen-Outward(Two-Palm) and Rotations.
This feature will automatically sense the keyboard layout you wish to type with, and will adjust accordingly.
It will announce on device posture change.
One can reassign separately for each layouts inside Automatic,
Slightly dragging six fingers together when device is vertical will do for Two-Hand-Screen-Outward(Two-Palm) and horizontal for Lap-Top.
When your mode and rotations are correct, you can lock the layout by holding dot-6 and swiping dot-1 to left,and holding dot-6 and swiping dot-1 to right will unlock the layout.
Note that, when device is placed on a Table or a flat surface the user can be on two sides (Landscape or Reverse-Landscape).
To let A.B.K know your position, while using Lap-Top Mode, hold your device vertically, with the screen facing you, so it enters Two-Hand-Screen-Outward(Two-Palm) Mode,
When you hear "Two-Palm mode" while the screen is facing you, put your device down horizontally on the surface to type in Lap-Top Mode.
Manual
In manual calibration you can assign dots as you wish.
You have to touch 4 fingers together to start assigning process,
then assign each dots one by one by touching on screen.
After finishing A.B.K will notify 'Assignment Completed'.
Then you can start typing.
Note that, most of the devices will have fixed keys below the touch screen and notification bar on top.
So A.B.K will let you know if you are touching in non feasible area through vibration.
One can explore screen using less than 4 fingers and start assignment after placing fingers comfortably.
One hand Mode
Here one can type using one hand by separating braille combination to first and second half.
First 1, 2, 3 turns to 4, 5, 6 on press.
You have to tick One-Hand-Mode in Braille Modes inside settings.
Double tap in typing area, Suspend screen reader or touch by explore,
Rotate your device slightly and place your fingers from top-left to bottom right of the screen.
You have to drag four fingers excluding thump to calibrate,
that is index finger should be near to top-left corner of the screen and little finger should be near to bottom-right of the screen.
Here little finger will work as skip button.
Note that any touch outside will also work as skip,
so you can use thump to skip after assignment process is over.
Here Pressing dot-1 twice will produce C,
pressing dot-1 and dot-3 twice will produce letter 'X'.
The skip is used for skipping the second half or first half. For example,
pressing dot-1 and skip button later to type letter 'A',
pressing skip after simultaneously pressing dot-1 and dot-2 will produce letter 'B'.
If any combination which does not need first half can be typed with skip followed by 4-5-6 combination.
