I guess it's down to personal preference and likely based on what method you've learned Braille with. I find the method you suggest much harder. Peter -Original Message- From: James Muirhead Sent: Friday, February 1, 2013 9:15 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: R

Glad to know I am not the only one with the sluggishness problem. Work around. Turn off voice over with triple tap home and turn it back on. It works. Have the same problem with Fleksy. Hmmm! Wonder if it is VO? Ugh At leastthere is a work around! Reggie and Brooks On Feb 1, 2013, at 1:4

Good evening folks, Just a note on the braille touch, which is very much easier to use when altering the keys in "advanced settings" so that the keyboard becomes like a Stainsby. A Stainsby predates the Perkins and was noisy and relatively primitivbe, however my brief experience with it makes

I would definitely not be willing to trade this possible future option for horizontal key arrangement for the inability to type when I don't have a flat surface. I think this horizontal arrangement could be really useful if and when the app is made available for iPads, but on the phone, unless I

I cannot wait for grade two. That will make it much faster, but I don't have much problem now laying my fingers correctly now besides the occasional inadvertent finger taps just because I have my fingers very close to the screen and my fingers on either hand can get a bit anxious to tap instead

I agree that this should be an option in a future update. I think it would apply to a larger market this way, since people are different at everything, this includes braille. I think I would find this easier myself, though I'm quite adjusted to the way they have it set up. It took me about a week b

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 B

Hi Luca, I'm sorry the speech feedback is sluggish for you in BrailleTouch. We've had several reports of this, and are looking into the cause of this problem. Other people have said the speech is quick for them with no latency. We'll get to the bottom of this and find a solution. Best, Caleb

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 on

Hello, Jonathan and all. I would respectfully agree with Jonathan.

I have to agree. Since my biggest problem with this app is holding the phone and typing accurately I would love to see an option to reallign the keys in the perkins style even if that means having to place the phone on a flat surface to input. Kim On 2/1/13, Jose Lomeli wrote: > I know what you
