Hi everyone,
The default layout of the BrailleTouch keyboard is like this:
Dot 1 is left index finger, Dot2 is left middle finger, Dot 3 is left
ring finger, Dot 4 is right index finger, Dot 5 is right middle finger,
Dot 6 is right ring finger.
There is a Setting called "Flip Dots 1&3, 4&6". Some people have
described this as like a Stainsby. With this setting, the BrailleTouch
keyboard layout is like this:
Dot 1 is left ring finger, Dot2 is left middle finger, Dot 3 is left
index finger, Dot 4 is right ring finger, Dot 5 is right middle finger,
Dot 6 is right index finger.
We have found that most people prefer one or the other layout for the
BrailleTouch keyboard. If the default layout seems strange to you,
please try the Flip Dots setting.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Caleb

No. It just flips the dots around so that dot 1 is at the top left,
dot 3 is at the bottom left, etc.

Chris,
What does changing layout of the dots do? i don't want to change from
the normal layout, just curious! Does it make the dots change as
using a slate and stylus With 1, 2, 3 on the right?

Hello Rebecca
1. I suggest you get a silicon case as they provide an excellent
grip for the phone. At least they do to me. Prices start around £1
or the equivalent in your country.
2. You need to orientate the phone so that the home button is on the
right and the earpiece is on the left. Next try to imagine the dots
as being vertically arranged, rather than horizontally arranged, on
the screen. So dots 1, 2 and 3 are on the left half of the screen
while dots 4, 5 and 6 are on the right half. You may also want to
try the flip dots 1-3, 4-6 setting, which can be found in
BrailleTouch, accessed in the main settings app on the phone under
the advanced heading.
Good luck.
Chris.

Hi everyone. I still haven't gotten the hang of braille touch.
here are a few questions.
1. What kind of case do you find works best with the app?
2. I am wondering how you hold your phone as I've tried it both
with the hone button on the left as well as on the right. I can
type a-h successfully but once I get to the letter i I begin having
trouble as picturing the alignment of the dots has been difficult
for me. I'd like to be able to get this thougb as I do love my
braille. If there's a way someone could assist me with a good
description or even using skype or face time so that maybe visually
you can tell what I'm doing that would be ok too.
