It hasn't been released yet. I guess they wanted to go through more user
testing first.

Hello all!
I found out that this App could be great. I knew one called
Typeinbraille, but if this works as the video says, it should be great!
Where can I download Brailletouch for iPhone or iPad? I can't find it
in the Appstore.
Thank you!

True, but at some level there is a desire to allow anyone to use the
same interface. So whether I tap around the screen or do split taps
and flicks to move focus, it's still the same interface. It gets a
little weirder when talking about a virtual keyboard because it's not
really part of the application's designed experience as a shared
input mechanism. At the same time, that mechanisim also has a user
experience which may be better or worse usability for some. So is it
better, on the whole, to enable that input mechanisim to be used by
anyone or do you provide an alternate experience that is tailored
more towards a certain class of users? I think universal design would
point towards the shared experience being the best in the long run.
For better or for worse everybody can help everybody else because
it's the same UI. I've run into plenty of 'separate but equal' UIs
for accessibility which never got much love after launch leaving
users who rely on them as second class citizens.

Hi,
Actually universal design does not mean that everybody is forced to
use the same UI, rather the other way around, that an app or the
product you are designing must meet users way of using the device,
and that real world users use devices in many different ways.

Dunno if anyone read these articles about using a chorded 6-finger
input system to type on a mobile device. It would seem that it
should be much faster to input this way but they haven't done real
testing/analysis on this. It also requires holding the phone
sideways with the screen pointing away so you can put three fingers
on three dots on either end of the screen. I've always been in
favor of 'universal design' where everybody uses the same basic UI
so this seems to go against that. At the same time, if it were 2-3x
faster than the current on screen keyboard input, maybe it would be
worth it.
