Hi Matt Yes, I find my phone bluetoothed to a Braille note taker, while being a bit more cumbersome, is much more reliable, and writing in grade 2 braille is much faster (for me at least) than I could ever achieve via an on screen keyboard.
Incidentally, my note taker is a Braille Sense Plus, which I became aware of because it was developed in conjunction with GW Micro. As I bought mine, GW dropped it, or was dropped (sad). -- Reg <[email protected]> On Thu, 16 Mar 2017 06:43:02 -0400 Matthew Chao via Talk <[email protected]> wrote: > Personally, I miss the phones with physical buttons/keyboards.
