Perkinput is a good first attempt for braille entry. The concept is excellent. I only need to use one hand for the input, and I find it fairly easy to convert braille to each line of the braille cell. With a free price tag (probably because the app is experimental), it becomes quite good.
Currently, the app only receives input in grade I braille. Personally, I would like to see an option for switching to computer braille, but as the fourth finger position is used to indicate a blank column in the braille cell, this would be difficult. The instructions fail to mention how to backspace, which appears to be two three-finger swipes left or right while the iPhone is in landscape / braille input mode. The instructions are not clear about returning to the main screen by performing a three-finger swipe in the 90 degrees direction from the double swipe for backspace. Finally, comma (dot 2) is missing from the current braille input table. This is a braille keyboard entry app that I will use, especially as I can use it one-handed.
