Tom, yes, I do real typing on my touchscreen device! True I use only one finger as opposed to eight for regular typing! I have written long episodes by way of text messages on my touchscreen device. At work, I am presently beginning to ring up sales using an Android tablet. I am not as proficient as I should be, but let's give it a few more months and I'll be right there!
What can be hard is trying to send or read a text message in a moving vehicle especially when it hits a pot hole in the fork of the road. I spent time practicing this whilst on the bus and, I am at least 85% ok with texting now. As for reading though, I am still fiddling with bluetooth headsets and trying to determine the best volume when in a moving vehicle. For me, if plans DO NOT GO AWRY, I really hope to KICK OUT Windows-based anything and just keep on running with my shiny Android device. On another list, I read about BliTab Braille tablet. It was demonstrated at C E S 2017. For $500, this new toy is a multiline Braille tablet and will let one read a FULL PAGE of Braille text. I have signed up to be a beta-tester, and I am also hoping that my wee, small, less than bread-&-butter company could possibly become one of its distributors here in the U.S. Unlike other specially adapted equipment for the blind, its developers want to be able to SELL their products in the mainstream. This means that you and I may be able to pick this thing up at BestBuy or even Walmart in the long run. Based on the video demo I listened to, TMobile appears to be onboard already! The device runs on Android, but I don't know which version. It also has speech. I welcome anything that challenges the big boys, girls and players in the field of adaptive technology especially if it brings down the cost of acquisition.
