Yes, this is another thing I like about BrailleTouch compared to Fleksy and Type In Braille (btw I got fairly fast with Type in Braille so I'm expecting to do quite well with BrailleTouch as it will be much more straightforward). I like hearing my letters when I type them and not having to flick or swipe or anything to check what i wrote. The thing is: I can visualize (or maybe tactilize!) what it would feel like to do the Perkins braille combinations with my fingers on the phone so half the battle of learning to do this is already conquered. I know it will still be a bit different when I actually get the app, but I've been sitting holding my locked phone in what I believe is the right position and tapping my fingers down in the right combinations for practice. Okay, I suppose that sounds rather crazy, but I'm really anticipating this app and want to be as ready as possible when it comes out!
