I agree with Carol and Chris. Support for other braille systems would be great, and it would be nice to be able to use contractions.
I've also been a braillist for many years, and I love the app, but because I'm not used to the way the punctuation is formed, it puts me off a little. Thank you for the great work you are doing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carol Pearson To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 1:05 AM Subject: Re: typing on the phone ;Hithere I find it a good and useful app though don't get around to using it too often. I do find the punctuation doesn't come naturally and that's one main reason why I don't use it more. Having been a Braillist for getting on for 60 years, it's also hard to think in a different concept for writing and I'd therefore still prefer to write with two hands in a normal way. All this said, remember I do like the app very much and commend you on your efforts to date. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: EWTEch Accessibility To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 9:37 AM Subject: Re: typing on the phone > Hi everybody, > > > we are the Accessibility Team of EveryWare Technologies, > the developers of TypeInBraille app. > We'd like to know what do you think about our app and if > you consider it as a good solution to type on your mobile > device. > > > For those who want to get more information about > TypeInBraille: > http://www.everywaretechnologies.com/apps/typeinbraille > > > Thank you > > > > > On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 10:03 PM, Jeremiah Rogers > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi CJ.
