I read this quote with interest, it is subtely different to when I read it earlier after the discussion on ambiguity of interpretation; perhaps it's been edited since then? But yes, this is making better sense now. Thank you.

Dots 4, 5, and 6 run down the right side of the screen. The three keys for each hand are turned sideways, but you still use the same fingers as you would on a standard six key braille keyboard. Here's a description from the User Guide on our website: We designed BrailleTouch so that you hold your phone in two hands with the screen facing away from you. Let's get familiar with how to hold the phone. First, pretend that you have a Perkins style braille keyboard on a table in front of you. Place your fingers on the imaginary six keys on the table. The first three fingers of each of your hands should be touching the table. Now lift your hands up, and turn your hands so your palms are facing each other. This is how you will hold the phone when typing in braille. Now pick up your phone and turn it in landscape orientation, with the long side going from left to right. Flip the phone around so the screen is facing away from you, with the Home button on your right. Hold the phone between your two hands. Some people support the phone by pressing in with the palms of their hands from the left and right sides. Some people hold the phone with their two thumbs on the top and their little fingers on the bottom. Make sure the first three fingers of each hand are free to move and are not touching the screen, so you can type with them. Try different ways of gripping the phone until you find what is most comfortable for you. When you are comfortable holding the phone in this special way, you are ready to start BrailleTouch! For best results, we recommend using a case with your iPhone or iPod touch. This will help you grip the phone in two hands. In addition, a case will keep your hand from covering the speaker under the Home button on the iPhone. If you use headphones, we recommend either using a Bluetooth wireless headset, or using a right angle headphone jack so you can grip the phone comfortably. I hope this helps!
