RE: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
Caleb, all of the discussion about Braille Touch has the user holding the phone in this special way. I see how that will work, but Is it also possible to take the phone out of its case and lie it flat on a hard surface? Why would that also not work?

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
Hi Sandy. Thanks for your question. We designed BrailleTouch so that you hold the phone in the special way, with two hands in landscape and the screen facing away from you. The advantage of doing this is that it allows your fingers to naturally fall on the touchscreen braille keyboard without any tactile landmarks. We have tested this with many blind users with great success! Some people have told us they have also had success laying the phone on a flat surface and typing with BrailleTouch. We have not officially tested this, so we don't officially support this way of using the app or include this in our User Guide. However, I encourage people to try this out if they would prefer to type this way. This is one of the reasons we offer a free trial of BrailleTouch, so you can see how it works for you before purchasing the upgrade. We welcome any feedback on using BrailleTouch in this non-standard way. For this way of typing to work, you will need to make sure that your left hand stays on the left side of the screen for dots 1-2-3, and your right hand stays on the right side of the screen, for dots 4-5-6. Otherwise BrailleTouch will become confused as to what braille characters you are typing.

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
On the podcast, Mr Hanson says he holds the phone in the palms with the screen facing away and the thumbs supporting the back of the phone. Would that mean that dots six and three are in the middle of the screen and dots one and six are closest to the ends of the phone? Sorry, meant one and four. Also, completely off this topic, but have not seen an answer. Does anyone know how to enter apps gone free so I can see what apps are available? Thanks for help on either of these things.

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
Hi Reggie, Actually, in BrailleTouch, dots 1, 2, and 3 run down the left side of the screen. Dots 4, 5, and 6 run down the right side of the screen. The three keys for each hand are turned sideways, but you still use the same fingers as you would on a standard six key braille keyboard. Here's a description from the User Guide on our website: We designed BrailleTouch so that you hold your phone in two hands with the screen facing away from you. Let's get familiar with how to hold the phone. First, pretend that you have a Perkins style braille keyboard on a table in front of you. Place your fingers on the imaginary six keys on the table. The first three fingers of each of your hands should be touching the table. Now lift your hands up, and turn your hands so your palms are facing each other. This is how you will hold the phone when typing in braille. Now pick up your phone and turn it in landscape orientation, with the long side going from left to right. Flip the phone around so the screen is facing away from you, with the Home button on your right. Hold the phone between your two hands. Some people support the phone by pressing in with the palms of their hands from the left and right sides. Some people hold the phone with their two thumbs on the top and their little fingers on the bottom. Make sure the first three fingers of each hand are free to move and are not touching the screen, so you can type with them. Try different ways of gripping the phone until you find what is most comfortable for you. When you are comfortable holding the phone in this special way, you are ready to start BrailleTouch! For best results, we recommend using a case with your iPhone or iPod touch. This will help you grip the phone in two hands. In addition, a case will keep your hand from covering the speaker under the Home button on the iPhone. If you use headphones, we recommend either using a Bluetooth wireless headset, or using a right angle headphone jack so you can grip the phone comfortably. I hope this helps!

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
Yes, thanks for the confirmation about the location of the dots. I noticed this in the podcast. I had also been picturing a line of dots running from left to right across the long edge of the phone. Now it is clear that there are two groups of dots: 1-3 at one end of the phone and 4-6 at the other end. Although I read the manual, I did not understand this at first. I still think this will not be difficult to learn at all for quite a few of us. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
I agree with you, if it fulfills a real need for an individual, it is worth it to them. I'll have to see how it pans out in GBP mind, amazing how much stuff comes over from the us and we are charged the same in £ as you in $ which is something like a 50% ripoff. I think Apple do enough of this though they don't do the full $ to £; but neither is it anywhere near the exchange rate.

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
Thanks, Cheryl. If anyone wants to see how BrailleTouch feels in advance, the User Guide for BrailleTouch is on our website. Many people have told us they have read the guide about how to hold the phone, before getting the app. They have locked their phone and tried holding it in landscape with the screen facing away from them, and then simulated typing in braille. I encourage people who are interested to try this out, or to try it while listening to Michael Hansen's AppleVis demonstration podcast. http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/demonstration-brailletouch I hope this helps!

Re: BrailleTouch app cost comparison
We recommend using a case with BrailleTouch for several reasons. 1. A case will help you grip the phone from the sides with both hands. 2. On the iPhone the speaker is under the Home button. A case will help keep your hand from blocking the speaker, if you use the speaker and not headphones. (The speaker location on the iPod touch is not an issue.) 3. A case will help orient your fingers on the screen when you are typing. It may work for you without a case. Please try the app with the free version first.
