Ok, thisis going to depend on how well, remaining fingers operate. Can you form all 3 digits into a line and tap on the desk? can you isolate various combinations like thunb and third, or thumb and little fingers, or just the two fingers? All that is enough to make this work.
I used to use type n braille when you entered two dots at a time from top to bottom, now you enter 3 dots at a time from left to right. I gather from the dialogue that swipe or flick right is for blank dots or even the space. So, presuming we know which digit is going to be dot1, and by extension, dot 4 afterwards, thisis just double-tapping with different combinations of digits to form each character. Should become quite intuative after a while. Assuming right hand use and thumb as dot1/4, punctuation is going to concentrate on the 3/4th fingers. Like anything new, one has to think about it some, but for the sake of knowing how the screen area is divided to register dots pressed, it shouldn't be more complicated than that. Ps: does this work in landscape or portrait? RobH, thinks so. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, August 15, 2016 9:40 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Braille Easy Keyboard I also tried this and while I have no problems with their swipe gestures, when I got to the point where they wanted me to start practicing characters I was stumped. I must not understand their concept quite yet. I became blind when I was 16 in an accident which involved a home-built pipe bomb (don't worry, it had nothing to do with terrorism or what most people associate with this sort of stuff today, just stupid teenager stuff) and I had serious hand injuries. As a result I only have thumb, ring finger and the little finger on each hand which basically prevents me from using any other braille keyboards. I can type on a Perkins or other mechanical brailler as I can push dots 2 and 3 or 5 and 6 with one finger together when I have to push all 3 dots on one side, but I don't think this can work with braille keyboards on the iPhone. I thought this Braille Easy may make it possible for me to use braille input as it is supposed to work one-handed and on my right hand where I have better use of the 3 fingers left I could use my thumb together with the two other fingers. If anybody figures this one out maybe they can explain it.
