Steve, oh yes, entering text via a screen image of text is possible ok, and it amazes me how adaptable some blind people will get to be in the flow of things.
I think there's more than a bit of Apple ideology driving some people here, and I'm not saying that's all a bad thing, but I've heard it said that even some sighted ITouch and IPhone users wish there was a real keyboard you could pull out and use for text entry. I've yet to see a mature and even handed debate on touch and gesture interfaces but I'm all too aware that you have to try it to have a worthwhile apraisal of how usable it is. I keep an eye on things Mac though as on the audio sie, which is much of what I these days, the Mac is important. so, hoping for some informative posts or links to articles on editing on the Mac.

Of course you're right, it's not nearly as efficient as with a keyboard or even a texting-style keypad, but it *can* be done.
