I would have to add my agreement with this as well. I would definitely
prefer a horizontal placement for the Braille input. I did manage to
get my head around the current method being used but the horizontal
placement would be so much easier to use IMHO.

Hello, Jonathan and all.
I would respectfully agree with Jonathan. I would love a setting to
allow entry using the screen divided into six rectangles horizontally
across the screen, as it is on the Perkins and, for example, also on
the refreshabraille. Remember that the virtual keys are long, so there
doesn't need to be any hand twisting for the fingers to land on the
right spots as there would be with button keys. I would be more than
happy to trade the ability to type without a flat surface for the
ability to type on such a six horizontal dot keyboard. I would be even
more pleased if this were a setting which could be changed.

I have to agree. Since my biggest problem with this app is holding the
phone and typing accurately I would love to see an option to reallign
the keys in the perkins style even if that means having to place the
phone on a flat surface to input.

Hi everyone, I didn't hear the podcasts on Braille Touch before release,
but thought I'd download it and have a play. The fact that you can try
the
app before purchase is excellent.
I am a lifelong Braille user and input in Braille every day. And I think
this is my problem. When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that
you
would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or
refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you
don't.
On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a
little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally
they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are
under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the
cell,
but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on
refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille as
the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device.
I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I
think
there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part I'd
find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other
devices.
Congrats to the developers on the app.
Jonathan
