Hi Richard, After reading several threads, it has been stated that if your phone or pod is locked in portrait view, then the home button should be on the right. If you don't have the orientation locked, then you can have the home button pointing in either direction. The default setting for the braille cell is for one to mirror image the dots. If you go to settings on your iPod and open up the Braille Touch menu, in advance you can change the orientation of the braille cell. I have a decent case for my phone, so it gives me lots of support. When you face the iPhone or iPod away from you, the first three fingers will be the first side of the braille cell and the first 3 fingers of the right hand will represent the second side of the cell (if you change the setting). Hence, the top braille row will be performed with the ring finger, the middle row with the middle finger, and the bottom row with the index fingers. Reversing the cell in the iPod's setting for the app is a personal decision. When I train individuals in braille I use spatial orientation directions of top, middle, bottom for dot position, along with first and second side. This way when I begin to train with the slate and stylus, the braille sign basically stays the same, but the orientation of the side of the cell will change. It makes it easier for the learner to grasp the slate faster. HTH.

They should be to your left. HTH, Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
