Tge screen curtain probably also saves battery power as it’s not have to

Hi Cheryl,
I aggree that having both settings would be of benefit. I, like you
don't have a problem, although I do make mistakes but am getting
better at it all the time. I think that the way it is currently,
means that it is easier to type when you're out and about but I can
understand why
the wrong end of it
please tell me why but I just don't see how the curtain is any big deal worth
bothering over.

I would have to add my agreement with this as well. I would definitely
prefer a horizontal placement for the Braille input. I did manage to

I would like to see it as an option, maybe even switchable right from
the BrailleTouch menu instead of in settings.

Hi everyone, I didn't hear the podcasts on Braille Touch before release, but
thought I'd download it and have a play. The fact that you can try the app
before purchase is excellent.

is my problem. When I heard about

I'd like to agree with you about the repositioning of how you might put your

Hello, Jonathan and all.
I would respectfully agree with Jonathan. I would love a setting to
allow entry using the screen divided into six rectangles horizontally
across the screen, as it is on the Perkins and, for example, also on
the refreshabraille. Remember that the virtual keys are long, so

I agree as well. The vertical lay-out and the requirement to face the phone
outward are spatially confusing, and the unavailability of Grade 2 braille can
cause one who is used to writing in Grade 2 to make lots of mistakes. Since
developers are also on this list, I wonder if they can comment
I wouldn't mind trying a horizontal layout and that is the way I pictured it
until I heard the podcast. However, I don't find facing the phone outward to be
spatially confusing; I think that's a matter of how each person looks at it.
And I also don't find that I have to do hand-twisting to use
I agree that this should be an option in a future update. I think it

everything, this includes braille. I think I would find this easier

I cannot wait for grade two. That will make it much faster, but I don't have

Thanks for your questions. I can't yet promise a date for Grade 2

The only issue that I am having with Braille Touch, and frankly, I'm not
sure if this is even a Braille Touch issue, is that I can't paste text from

Excellent, Scott. I compared my typing on BrailleTouch and Fleksy, which is a

It seems to me that a central factor in this discussion is whether and
how much people are accustomed toinputing via a device such as a braille

I agree with that suggestion. With holding the phone- as we do it with the
application now, there is a potential security risk that people can read what
you're writing on your iPhone if you failed to turn screen curtain on. That
