OK, um... this is just my thought, ok, take it or leave it. First of all,
there is plenty of screen real estate on even an IPhone 4 to not have to put
each section of the braille dots virtically. They say hold the phone with
you palms facing each other. I did this. I had a good grip of my phone as
well. When I placed my fingers on the screen, I'm getting very! undesired
results. This isn't a matter of go to advanced settings and flip dots 1 and
3, 4 and 6. This is more a matter it just isn't accurate and not very
forgiving. I don't really have very big hands either. So my two palms
facing each other, my two thumbs basically resting on the back of the ;hone
oppisit side from the screen, home button on my right as I have portrait
mode locked. now, I tapped once to activate the keyboard. now, I find my
hands are sideways. rather than dots 1 2 and 3 going like a perkins, where
1 is on the right 2 to the left of that, and 3 to the right of that, it
looks more like the braille literal letter l. so 1 on bottom, 2 in the
middle, and 3 on top. Same on the right side of the screen with 4 5 and 6,
and visually the blue braille dots even are aligned virtically, across each
side of the screen. That's really dumb in my book. Going totally in
landscape mode, when holding the phone as I said a second ago, even without
the extra row of real estate I get with my 5, even on my old IPhone 4S, I
still have enough room to type a full braille cell with all my fingers going
left to right, from left to right going, 3 2 1, 4 5 6. So, why the hell
make each half of the cell align itself virtically? That just seems a bit
well... I was gonna say idiotic, but I think I'll be nice instead and just
say... awkward. Second of all, the docs say you don't have to line right up
with those braille dots on the screen as it's very forgiving. Not for me?
it's not. I tried typing the letter h, 1 2, and 5. sometimes it thinks I
want an r, which is 1 2 3 5. some times it thinks I want an exclaimation
mark which is 2 3 5. one time it thought I wanted a question mark, which is
2 3 6. So, yeah, ok, am I missing something, or is this app really just
that stupidly inaccurate. Surely damn well hope the former as this is
ridiculous! I can't figure out what on earth I may be doing wrong. I'm
following the docs to an absolute T!
