tap the screen with one or several fingers at the same time.

your left three fingers for dots 1, 2, and 3.
Switch between 6-dot and contracted braille. Swipe to the right with three fingers. To set the
default, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Braille Screen Input.

Turn braille contractions on or off. Swipe to the right with three fingers.

Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can control VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard paired with iPhone. See Use an
Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 32.
Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read screen contents,
adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. Most commands use the Control-Option
key combination, abbreviated in the list that follows as “VO.”
You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions associated with various
key combinations. VoiceOver Help speaks keys and keyboard commands as you type them,
without performing the associated action.
