        "content": "Yes \u2014 people testing iOS 27 Beta 2 are confirming that Braille Screen Input (BSI) is significantly broken. The core issue seems to be that only dots 1-3 are being recognized; dots 4-6 don\u2019t respond. ([applevis.com](https://applevis.com/forum/apple-beta-releases/ios-27-ipados-27-beta-2-megathread?utm_source=openai)) Additionally, recalibrating the dots doesn\u2019t work either. ([applevis.com](https://applevis.com/forum/apple-beta-releases/ios-27-ipados-27-beta-2-megathread?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nHere\u2019s what you *might* do **until** Apple fixes it in Beta 3 (or a later update):\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd04 Workarounds & Alternatives\n\n1. **Use a physical braille display or keyboard**  \n   Most reports say that *external braille displays* are still functioning properly. So if you have one, it\u2019s likely your best fallback. ([applevis.com](https://applevis.com/forum/apple-beta-releases/ios-27-ipados-27-beta-2-megathread?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Switch to traditional onscreen keyboard input**  \n   When you can\u2019t use BSI, rely on voice dictation, the standard touch keyboard, or VoiceOver typing mode.\n\n3. **File or check feedback via Feedback Assistant**  \n   Apple\u2019s beta release notes say there have been multiple reports of this problem, and BSI is *slated to be fixed* in a future release. ([applevis.com](https://applevis.com/forum/apple-beta-releases/ios-27-ipados-27-beta-2-megathread?utm_source=openai)) Sending detailed feedback helps them prioritize a fix.\n\n4. **Reinstall VoiceOver settings or try different braille tables**  \n   Some accessibility-bugs respond to changes in settings. For example, try toggling which Braille table you\u2019re using (e.g. UEB vs others) or turn off/on BSI in the Rotor. While there\u2019s no confirmed workaround that restores dots 4-6, experimental changes might restore partial functionality for certain users. ([applevis.com](https://applevis.com/forum/apple-beta-releases/ios-27-ipados-27-beta-2-megathread?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Downgrade to a previous iOS version (if feasible and safe for backups)**  \n   If BSI is critical for daily use, and you can afford to go back to iOS 26 (or another stable version), that might be a temporary solution \u2014 though downgrading betas can be tricky and may not always be possible without affecting data. Always back up first.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can check if there\u2019s been any newly published workaround since Beta 2 (for example, from Beta 2.x updates, developer forums, or Apple/AppleVis) and see if anything works reliably. Do you want me to pull that together?"
