In this episode, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the significant changes to Braille Screen Input (BSI) on iOS 18. They focus on the new method for activating BSI, which involves a double tapping of the letter C on the screen, as well as exiting the mode using a two-finger pinch gesture. They also highlight the ability to edit and navigate text using a cursor, which is a new feature in BSI. By holding down one finger and flicking with the other, users can move through and edit text more efficiently. Additionally, the hosts introduce the command mode, which allows users to perform various commands using BSI, similar to a Braille display controlling an iPhone. The command mode enables users to access different functions such as going back, navigating to the home screen, or accessing the status bar directly with the use of Braille input. Overall, the episode provides a comprehensive overview of the changes and new features in BSI on iOS 18, offering practical tips and insights on how to maximize the functionality of BSI for blind and visually impaired users.
