Yes, but I find the MBraille commands very difficult to reliably execute. It is also a bit slow and tedious to have to use the MBraille navigation commands. The iOS rotor is a bit of a headache too, but MBraille is not all that much of an improvement. Hopefully others have fared much better as I stopped using MBraille for these reasons. It took a while for MBraille to reach it's current state of development, so hopefully iOS will add similar functionality as it matures. ...Just my 2.

Spaces are often not recognized by iOS, leading to significantly slower typing. They are not misread as dots, they are simply ignored. 2. MBraille has what many consider to be far easier editing/reviewing commands than iOS. I find the rotor works fine for me, but I have to say that the method of selecting text in MBraille is far, far easier than the unreliable pinch gestures in iOS. 3. MBraille has dot commands, which are sometimes faster than brailling in the app you want. Tweets or web searches aren't, but calendar events are since you can specify everything at once. 4. MBraille offers keyboard sounds, which help when typing for some reason. The silence in the iOS braille keyboard can slow me down, though I don't know why this might be. 5. MBraille offers a way to delete words at a time, not just characters, which is very helpful. 6. In MBraille, you can navigate by sentence and paragraph, two options iOS still lacks. > On Oct 3, 2014, at 8:47 PM, Joseph FreeTech <joseph.freet...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Just out of curiosity...
