Hi Courtney,
Thanks for your question about BrailleTouch in portrait. Before we
released the app, we had a version that worked in all four orientations,
including Portrait. However I have not yet found anyone who preferred
portrait over landscape for the touchscreen braille keyboard. If you or
others are interested in using BrailleTouch in portrait, I suggest
locking your phone and simulating using it this way. Please let me know
if you like this better than landscape. Feel free to write me offlist if
you like.
I'll be honest. We have faced a lot of frustrations on the software
development side getting the orientation of various screens in
BrailleTouch to behave properly with VoiceOver. I know there are some
remaining issues that people have brought up, especially on the email,
twitter, and messaging screens. We're working on those. On top of that
there is a bug in iOS 6.0.1 where VoiceOver won't find the Send button
in landscape on the Apple-provided email and messaging screens. That
appears to be fixed in iOS 6.1 fortunately.
If a lot of people would strongly prefer the braille keyboard in
portrait, we will certainly consider it. However I do want to avoid
creating other potential problems and confusion with orientation issues
in BrailleTouch, unless the portrait keyboard option is a feature people
really think is important.
Thanks so much,
Caleb

Hi,
Is there a way to get Braille Touch to work in portrait mode instead of
landscap?
Thanks,
