  "textContent": "Hi all.\n\nSo I was messing with the braille keyboard input feature on Mac the other day, and I noticed that I'd get a few words in TextEdit, and then it would stop. I wanted to play with it to hopefully get better at braille screen input on the phone, just getting used to typing braille extensively again.\n\nToday I decided to try the NLS eReader, I've got the Humanware one, over Bluetooth, to type some braille, again in Textedit. I typed \"this is a test of braille input.\" with contractions, I have it set to US contracted. The output I got was \"this is a test of braille\" followed by a space. At that point, typing \"input.\" did nothing, no matter how many times I did it.\n\nSo I thought braille keyboard input just had some sort of bug, possible since I think it's crashed TextEdit before, but apparently, this is just some sort of more general issue with braille input? If anybody has any ideas for things to check, I'd really appreciate it.\n\nI'm on the Mac more than the phone, so I figure if I try either BKI or the braille display more often, that will improve my braille typing speed and accuracy for BSI on the phone. But that's obviously not going to happen, if I can't type braille beyond a few words.",
