Sorry, no, it can only flipped upside down. original and interpoint is too 
far back for anyone to want to try it.  Glad someone else remembers too, 
mind.

Dot 1 would be first finger left hand,   or flipped,  3rd finger left hand; 
that's it,   that's enough!

Subject: Re: Introducing BrailleTouch - an iPhone app for typing in braille 
on your touchscreen


Hello,

If I understand it right. The phone is held to provide a more like
stainsby / shorthand machine formation rather than a perkins? As with
the stainsby, could the keys be reversed? For those used to writing
braille on a frame or the standard stainsby? i.e. The letter "a" dot 1
generated by  the index finger of the right or left hand? Or is the
orientation dots 1 & 4 are generated by the third finger of each hand?

What version of grade 1 is the app going to use? Is it computer braille
thus numbers are lower case letters? Or do you need to use the number
sign? Is the full stop 2 & 5 6 or 4 6? Or will this be switchable upon
release?

Thanks.

Gena
