Rebecca, I wrote an explanation of Type In braille that some apparently found helpful. I am pasting it below in case it helps you. Please let me know if you have questions. It takes some getting used to but I think that for us dedicated Braille readers it's great.
Sandy First off you have to turn the Braille cell on its side in your mind. Don't think of it as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; rather, 1, 4; 2, 5; 3, 6. You need to tell the app what you want to do with all three of those rows for each letter. A one-finger tap in a row says you want one dot; two fingers says two dots in that row and a three-finger tap says no dots in that row. So the way he describes A initially is: 1 one-finger tap for the top row One three-finger tap for the second row One three-finger tap for the third. But all you really need to do is the one one-finger tap for the top row, and then flick one finger to the right. This flicking gesture tells Type-In-Braille that you are done with that character. This speeds you up considerably. B is two one-finger taps followed by a one-finger right flick. C is a two-finger tap, just like a Braille c, followed by the right flick. It takes some practice; K, for instance, is tricky. But I also like the way I can edit in it, going back and forth, one letter or word at a time. It tells me what I am deleting, unlike VO on the phone keypad. Type-In Braille is meant only for typing text which is then selected and copied into something else, like an e-mail or Facebook. You cannot do e-mail addresses or type in search boxes. I am so far finding this faster than typing on the keypad on the phone. Sorry for this long explanation; HTH. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rebecca Ilniski Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 9:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: anyone use type in braille app?
