I think they're about half inch in, but there's some slack so absolute accuracy isn't critical; but can't afford to stray out of the area. I'd like our favourite producer adviser to give some idea of dimensions so we might get a better idea of finger spacing; I think that could betray us. Can one be too far up or down towards an edge and miss that button?

I am not touching the all caps with my little finger but my ring finger. I am holding the phone with the screen away from me and my thumbs on top and little fingers holding the bottom in landscape. What I need to know, or perhaps this is just more practice, is how far do I put my Braille key fingers from the sides (top and bottom in portrait) into the screen to be able to touch the dots. Are they right above the home button on the right and just below the ear slit on the left or are they further into the screen?

Act as if you were going to take a picture of yourself with the back camera. now, put your palms on each end of the phone. now rest your fingers vertically on the screen. dots 1, 2, and 3 are your left. Dots 4, 5, and 6 are your right. I hope this makes some sense. Your hands have to be at each end of the screen. Write me off list if I can be of more helpp. Jenn Sent from my iPhone On Jan 31, 2013, at 2:55 PM, Regina Alvarado <reggie.alvar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I only have the free version right now.
