A Question About on-screen Braille Keyboard Input Options
Hello All, Instead of using the standard on-screen iOS keyboard, I would like to try out an on-screen Braile keyboard input app. What I would like to know is if there is an input app that allows one to treat the entire portrait display as one Braille cell. That is, The upper left corner of the screen represents dot 1, the upper right corner of the screen represents dot 4, the middle left side of the screen represents dot 2, the middle right side of the screen represents dot 5, the lower left corner of the screen represents dot 3, and the lower right corner of the screen represents dot 6. In this way, the user can simply use one finger to tap/select each dot of the cell to be entered and when the correct configuration of cells is selected, the user enters the character via a swipe or something. Those of you who used the original HUmanWare Trekker Maestro PDA will recall this was the way we entered text. It was remarkably efficient and accurate. Now that I think about it, there may/could/should be a way of entering dots 7 and 8, as well. Does such an app for iOS exist?

The only app that comes to mind is the Type in Braille app. You will have to go look at the description and see if it will do what you are wanting. Other than that, I have no clue.

You might also look into perkinput area it doesn't do exactly what you want, but it's similar. It's new, and need some work, but so far it's got a great concept. I'm sure the work on it to make it better soon.

Re: A Question About on-screen Braille Keyboard Input Options
If you are not dead set on one-dot-at-a-time entry, give MBraille a shot. It is free, with an in-app purchase to fully unlock it. You enter braille one character at a time, holding the phone sideways. There is plenty about it on www.applevis.com. Aside from that, TypeInBraille is the only one I can think of: it lets you type one row at a time, not one dot, but it is close to what you are looking for. On May 16, 2014, at 5:28 PM, M.
