  "textContent": "Hi everyone,\n\nI’m a blind VoiceOver user, and I’m dealing with a serious accessibility issue after updating to iOS 26.5.\n\nSince 2022, I’ve relied entirely on an app called Airtype, which allowed me to type on my iPhone using my Windows laptop keyboard via a web interface. This wasn’t just a convenience—it was the only reliable way I could enter text such as email addresses, passwords, and messages.\n\nAs of iOS 26.5, Airtype is no longer available or functional.\n\nBecause of this, I’ve effectively lost my ability to type on my iPhone in any practical way. Touchscreen typing with VoiceOver is extremely difficult for me, and Braille Screen Input has not been reliable enough to use consistently.\n\nI’ve searched the App Store extensively, but every result is the opposite of what I need (using the iPhone as a keyboard for a computer). I also tried older alternatives like KeyWi, but they appear unsafe or no longer maintained.\n\nSo I’m asking:\n\n* Does ANY current app replicate Airtype’s functionality (typing from a Windows PC to iPhone over Wi-Fi or web)?\n* Has anyone found a reliable workaround that allows full text entry from a computer keyboard?\n* Is there any built-in iOS accessibility feature I may be missing?\n\nThis is urgent. Without a solution, my ability to communicate via iMessage and other apps is severely limited.\n\nAny help would be greatly appreciated.\n\nThanks,\nMichael",
