Two things: I have one of the hd cases, so the screen is framed quite deeply for protection, so can't miss, though can't always get in the edges either. But with a little care, I get it reasonably consistently now. I also note that since it only registers the letter when you lift your fingers, you get tons of time to shuffle them all on and around until you're happy. That's worked a time or two when I try go too fast. But yes, since you're hitting the character at a stroke, it's a heck of a lot faster then the vKeyboard on screen.

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.
