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.
