Question to those #blind folks who have used the new Braille screen input of #iOS 18 on an iPad: Is there a different way to calibrate one's finger positions on iPad? I just got a new iPad Mini, and in both table top and away modes, the expected finger positions are so wide spread by default, that my hands barely manage to type anything cohesive. But putting first dots 4 5 6 and then dots 1 2 3 on the screen like it works on iPhone, doesn't result in the calibration of the finger positions. So, any trick I am unaware of?

The calibration for iPad was quickly tapping all six dots twice. I don't know if iOS 18 changed this, but give that a shot.

@alexhall Yep, that worked like a charm. You can also double-tap on the left and right edge of the iPad when in portrait mode to turn BSI on, don’t have to change to the top and bottom edges. Nice!

Yeah, keep on pressing 123, then 456 super fast, it'll make a sound and calibrate. and yes, they will move more with time than they would on the iPhone, and you'd have to do this more often.
