Caleb, yes the 'letter y is one of the more difficult letterss to type. It is definitely because your fingers are not registering. That is why I so appreciated the description of where the top and bottom dots were in relation to the top of the device. Just was trying another way to hold the phone, and I struggled too much to get the right letters. Back to the braille touch way! By the way, turning VO off and back on right before starting to type has done the trick to keep braille touch from being sluggish. Sure don't understand why 2 different apps are doing the same crazy thing!
