Hello:
I very seldom chime in on something like this, but I find the Mbraille
app
the most useful app I have purchased. If someone is a good contracted
braille user, it will increase your speed in texting, creating documents,
writing emails and in doing numerous tasks. I thought when I bought the
app
that it was only $15, but it may have been $30. As I understand it now,
when
you download the fre version, it does allow you to use the texting
feature.
I believe that for anyone who likes the ability to input using contracted
braille that this app is the answer, and I use it so much that when I
need
to actually use the iPhone keyboard that I have to think twice to make
sure
that I'm not trying to do braille input. I do recommend the free version
to
play with for a while to make sure it fits your needs, but I can say it
has
done very well for me.

Sounds like it might be a good solution on a long road trip but I agree
the
$30 price tag would mean it would have to be a very long trip to justify
it.

Subject: MBraille - On the road experience
Hi all,
Just wanted to convey a neat little MBraille experience. I had lunch with
a
group of new friends. As one of these friends was driving me home, we
began
driving on some rough road. I thought "what a great chance to test typing
accuracy!" I pulled out my iPod Touch 5th gen and began typing a message.
I first tried typing a 3 sentence paragraph using the touch typing
keyboard
method, and I ended up making lots of mistakes and found it was difficult
to
hear what I was typing (I was not wearing headphones). I didn't get past
the
first sentence before getting a bit frustrated.
I turned on standard typing and found it was easier to type via split
typing, but I still could not hear the letters well and had I turned up
the
volume I would have probably annoyed others so I did not do so.
Finally, I launched MBraille and found that typing the 3 sentences was
not
only quickly accomplished, but I also found it very easy, and I had
almost 0
spelling errors.
I'm assuming the difference is that while touch typing and split typing,
one
must very steadily hold the device in one hand while trying to type with
the
other hand. This results in both hands simultaneously performing
different
tasks. On the other hand, using MBraille, for the most part, both hands
are
moving in synchrony and are placed almost 100% identically equally to one
another which facilitates holding the device and entering data as the
space
one needs to interact with the device is much smaller (6 points rather
than
26+ points associated with the letters on the keyboard).
After using MBraille I switched back to regular touch typing and standard
typing, and again I was having difficulty completing the typing task.
In short, whether bumpy road or not, MBraille does seem to offer a very
quick and hassle free typing experience.
I gotta say, it is still hard for me to pull the trigger on the price
because $30, to me and only me, seems a bit excessive for an app less
than 1
meg in size. I hope this device goes on sale at some point as I'd
definitely
purchase it for $15 or $20. :)
Two thumbs up for MBraille!
Joseph
