Hello,
I have to disagree. It is quite comfortable to put your hands on your
own waste. With fingers vertical slightly curled and elbows out to the
sides. The first braille machine was the Stainsby that required the
finger formation as brailletouch. Perhaps because my Stainsby supported
me through years of study. I find it far easier than having my elbows
tucked in and being restricted, as with using a perkins. It's like
wearing a straight jacket. While I'm typing this message on a qwerty
keyboard, my elbows are pointing outwards not being tied to my sides.
It's not comfortable to keep your elbows restricted. Monitor your own
behaviour eating dressing and see if you can honestly repeat and make
the same statements. If you think about it, a perkins is not as long as
a human's shoulders, so the elbows have to point out to the side.
It is really a mind over matter issue.

Hi,
I ant to concur with others that the way one uses Braille Touch is not using
ergonomic principles. Hence, it places at least my right hand at jeopardy in
possibly developing carpal tunnel. I believe the developers should take a
serious look at creating a Perkins style layout for the app. Even though I am
slow in braille processing, it is essential to find a solution to this issue. I
have tried all sorts of different ways to position my hands,but after a few
minutes my right hand begins to fatigue and hurt in the wrist. This issue has
been discussed by others on this list, so I hope the developers of the app are
listening. May be this will be fixed in the near future. There must be a good
reason why all of the braille note takers and braille displays are
manufacturers design the products with a horizontal layout.
Thanks for listening.
