I looked for this app after loistening to the accessible device podcast but am unable to find it in the app store. Has it been released?

We wish that Apple would allow alternative keyboard apps for iOS, and I suspect that other developers such as Fleksy do as well. We have built an in-house version of BrailleTouch for Android phones. Android will allow alternative keyboards, so BrailleTouch would pop up for any text field in any app instead of the standard mini-QWERTY keyboard. It works very well, and even supports Grade 2 braille! Unfortunately, the Android accessibility layer, Explore by Touch (which is comparable to VoiceOver), is not compatible with multi-touch input. BrailleTouch relies on multi-touch input to make a braille keyboard work on a touchscreen. We have spoken with the engineer at Google who wrote Explore by Touch for Android. He is great, and was very helpful and supportive. We are excited about the potential to release BrailleTouch as an alternative keyboard for Android phones, pending a future version of Android where Explore by Touch is compatible with BrailleTouch and multi-touch input.

I understand that Apple won't let these alternative input methods be substituted for the apple keyboard on their phones. Let us hope (wish?) Apple would offer the developers of Flexy and BrailleTouch a multi-digit figure for their apps and include them as alternative input methods in the future.

This is the same in Fleksy, both these apps are basically keyboard apps which offer an alternative input method only. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Arnold Schmidt Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 6:25 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Editing Text With Braille Touch I have listened to the podcast, looked through the topics list in the manual, and the faq, and did not find an answer to the following. If I have written several lines and want to edit them, can I do this within BrailleTouch, or do I have to paste it into whatever I am sending and then change it? I assume that what I am writing appears in the center of the screen, between the two rows of dots, so I am hoping I perhaps can use the rotor and edit within BrailleTouch itself, or there is some other way to edit text. I plan to purchase this app, even if you answer my question no. Thank you very much for producing it.
