Hi Richard, agreed, I would encourage most people looking for alternatives to go with Fleksy. However for those who are really keen on Braile I do think that this app does have its place, even if it is overpriced. Sent from Brett's iPhone On 31/12/2012, at 11:11 AM, Richard Turner

I don't think it makes sense at all frankly! The app hasn't even come out yet and you guys are arguing about whether to encourage or discourage or not encourage or not discourage people from buying it. i plan to try the app out and if I like it and feel it helps me significantly and I have the

I would be curious as I actually tested my typing with flexy with someone who was sighted and found that I could match the speed with flexy as a sighted person who was typing on their own phone. I have not enough sight to see my phone, so, it was interesting to see. As for typing in braille,

First of all, while I know a lot of people like fleksy, I don't particularly. I like to hear what i'm typing when I type it for one thing. But that doesn't mean I think it's a bad app just because it isn't right for me. Secondly, the question of multiple fingers slowing one down is a good one

Truth be told, Ben, I'm not a fan of the Arabic voice either, but it sure beats a blank. There are a couple of other Arabic voices in the Acapella voice set, but I don't know if you can get those for Mac. Haven't tried. And you can't have them on ios, because Apple won't let 3rd party stuff

I would strongly advise against upgrading to iTunes 11 it's a total lemon. Worst thing Apple have ever done. No coverflow, no viewable album art, no DJ function, searching for anything in your own library has become a major trauma. I did upgrade and spent a couple of weeks trying to get used to
