It is worth noting that the text isn't on the screen as you type, or I've
not found it there yet. I flick into the menu to read it, and tend to flip
the phone back to face me to do it; though I can operate it quite well
without. Just a visual habit I picked up when I could see enough for it to
matter.

Hi Bob,
You can also turn screen brightness to 0%. First of all this will save you a
bit of battery and while it is possible to read text with brightness at 0,
it is very difficult and somebody would have to be quite close.
Regards,

Bob, we do recommend turning the screen curtain on if you are concerned
about this. This is in our FAQ: http://brailletouchapp.com/faq.html#a12

I agree with that suggestion. With holding the phone- as we do it with
the application now, there is a potential security risk that people can read
what you're writing on your iPhone if you failed to turn screen curtain on.
That could be an issue for me down the road.

I have to agree. Since my biggest problem with this app is holding the
phone and typing accurately I would love to see an option to reallign
the keys in the perkins style even if that means having to place the
phone on a flat surface to input.

Hi everyone, I didn't hear the podcasts on Braille Touch before
release,
but thought I'd download it and have a play. The fact that you can try
the
app before purchase is excellent.
I am a lifelong Braille user and input in Braille every day. And I
think
this is my problem. When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that
you
would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or
refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you
don't.
On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a
little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally
they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are
under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the
cell,
but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on
refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille
as
the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device.
I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I
think
there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part
I'd
find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other
devices.
Congrats to the developers on the app.
Jonathan
