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:

1

Turn on the braille display.

2

On iPad, turn on Bluetooth.

In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, then tap the Bluetooth switch.

3

In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille, then choose the

braille display.
Turn contracted braille on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Braille, then tap the Contracted Braille switch.

Choosing a Language
The braille display uses the language that’s set for Voice Control. By default, this is the
language that’s set for iPad 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: In Settings, choose 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.
