> Greetings! > > Thank you for your interest in BrailleTouch, and for signing up for the > BrailleTouch email list. I am very excited to announce that BrailleTouch will > be available on the App Store on Thu Jan 31 worldwide. We offer a free trial > version, which lets you type in braille on your touchscreen and hear the > letters or words spoken as you type them. If you like BrailleTouch and find > it useful, you can purchase a full upgrade from the app which will allow you > to send text messages, tweets, and emails directly from the touchscreen > braille keyboard. You can also copy the text you type in braille and paste it > into any other app on your iPhone. > > The trial version of BrailleTouch is free to download from the App Store. The > full upgrade is available for US$20 as an In-App Purchase. However, in > appreciation of the overwhelming support we have received from the blind > community, we are offering the full version for US$15 through Sunday February > 3. We would like to express our gratitude to all of the generous volunteers > who tested the app, to Accessible Devices, AppleVis, and Macneticos for their > podcasts, and to everyone who has emailed us and posted on the VIphone and > AppleVis forums and Twitter with helpful feedback. > > You can read more about BrailleTouch including a User Guide and FAQ at our > website: http://brailletouchapp.com/ > > The initial version of BrailleTouch supports Grade 1 uncontracted braille, > based on the North American English standards. It includes upper and lower > case letters, numbers, and most punctuation. Grade 2 contracted braille is > our top priority for a future upgrade. We also hope to be able to support > languages other than English in the future. BrailleTouch requires iOS version > 5 or later, and will run on iPhone 3Gs or later and iPod touch 3rd generation > or later. We recommend using a case with your iPhone or iPod touch, as this > will help you grip the phone while typing and will keep you from covering the > speaker on the iPhone under the Home button with your hand. If you use > headphones, we recommend a right-angle headphone plug or Bluetooth headphones. > > Feel free to forward this email to anyone you know who may be interested. > This is a no-reply email address. We welcome any questions, comments, or > feedback you may have. When the app comes out, we would love to hear your > story about how you use BrailleTouch. You can contact us at: > http://brailletouchapp.com/contact.html > > Many braille instructors have contacted us about using BrailleTouch as a > teaching tool. We hope the free version of BrailleTouch is helpful for > learning the six-key braille keyboard. If you are a braille instructor or > student, please let us know your experience using BrailleTouch. > > We hope you like BrailleTouch and find it useful. Please download the free > version on Thursday and try it before you buy it.
