Is this out yet? I heard that the idea had been scrapped.

THe only other option is to convence Apple that this could be another
keyboard option which then it would have to be integrated into the OS. There
would have to be a fair amount of interest before it would be considered
because it would likely not be a trivial change.

Eileen, yes, all apps run in a sandbox meaning they're pretty much
isolated from the rest of the phone except in cases where they use
very specific APIs. For example, apps are sometimes allowed, at a
user's request, to open files from other apps. Usually, this is
actually a good thing, because it means that you can pretty much try
whatever you want on iOS without worrying about system instability.
But I agree, in cases like this, it's in fact a detriment rather than
a benefit.
I imagine what you'd have to do is type the text into this app, then
copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it elsewhere. Or, the
developers might allow you to compose Email or text messages with the
text pre-filled. This is basically the extent of what the app would be
able to do and I don't think Apple will budge on this: it's just a
part of their operating system.
Cheers,

Hello List,
In the May issue of Access World there is an extensive review of the
Braille
Touch app that had been the buzz on this list a while back. I believe all
braille users on this list should read and then think about submitting a
recommendation to the Apple Accessibility folks. From what I understood,
Apple has restricted this app from fully integrating with inputting text.
So, I am not sure how anyone of us would be able to use this as text
input
and benefit from it. Please correct me if I interpreted this wrong. Happy
reading.
Eileen
