Hi Chris,
What does BrailleTouch say when you type the letter Y?
RobH said below that BrailleTouch saw the letter N (dots 1-3-4-5) when
he typed the letter Y (dots 1-3-4-5-6). That means that BrailleTouch was
not seeing dot 6. Let's assume the flip dots setting is off, as in the
default app. That means that Rob's ring finger was not registering on
the touchscreen. It could have been a little too far down and off the
touch sensitive area.
I personally have trouble with Y and Z sometimes. I go a little slower
when placing my fingers for these two letters, and then lift my fingers
quickly off the screen.
Thanks,
Caleb

Yes the y is a struggle for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I struggled to make some of the characters work, but they did
in the
end. I got an N about 6 times in a row when trying for a Y. Still don't
know what I was doing wrong, but it corrected in the end.

Once you do your first tap before starting to type, you need to keep
your
fingers in that position. I think the tendency is to move fingers up and
down from the original position and that's why you are getting the
lowered
effect. You have more "wiggle room" right to left but you need to
keep your
fingers in position up and down. Maybe kind of imagine the dots as
stationary on the phone where you first tapped instead of thinking you
should move up and down the column. I would really advise people to play
with this and post problems before posting evaluational comments. As I
recall, my first few hours' experience with typing on the virtual
keyboard
on the iPhone weren't very impressive either. Some skills take time and
patience. If, however, my skill hadn't improved with the virtual
keyboard
over time, I would have taken it back and would have said the iPhone
just
wasn't for me.
