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 Braille Touch into a facebook status. Facebook has recently updated the app, so I'm thinking this is a facebook issue. Other than that, for me,

Excellent, Scott. I compared my typing on BrailleTouch and Fleksy, which is a program I really like. I just started playing with BrailleTouch yesterday, and have already eclipsed my Fleksy speed. That's why I decided to buy it. As you said very well, everyone is an individual, and some may not

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 display. I could probably adjust to the positioning, but because I input a lot these days with the Focus, I am accustomed to the lay out. I also am waitin

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 could be an issue for me down the road. Bob Fenton Sent from my

Hi All, For me, one of the keys to really getting comfortable and fast with BrailleTouch has been to find the best way for me to hold the phone so that it feels very secure in my hands. I am sure that we will all hold it slightly differently because of the size of our hands and just general pr

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 get my head around the current method being used but the horizontal placement would be so much easier to use IMHO. Best, Rick alfaro On 2/1/2013 1:3
