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

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.

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

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

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

How practical is this app going to be for people who don't use cases? Seems like it would be rather awkward to hold the phone the correct way unless you were completely stationary. Grant On 1/5/13, BrailleTouch viph...@brailletouchapp.com wrote: Thanks, Cheryl. If anyone wants to see how

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.
