I've wasted a lot more than that on abandoned recommendations; so feel it was worth it.

I had lunch with a group of new friends. As one of these friends was driving me home, we began driving on some rough road. I thought "what a great chance to test typing accuracy!" I pulled out my iPod Touch 5th gen and began typing a message. I first tried typing a 3 sentence paragraph using the touch typing keyboard method, and I ended up making lots of mistakes and found it was difficult to hear what I was typing (I was not wearing headphones). I didn't get past the first sentence before getting a bit frustrated. I turned on standard typing and found it was easier to type via split typing, but I still could not hear the letters well and had I turned up the volume I would have probably annoyed others so I did not do so. Finally, I launched MBraille and found that typing the 3 sentences was not only quickly accomplished, but I also found it very easy, and I had almost 0 spelling errors. I'm assuming the difference is that while touch typing and split typing, one must very steadily hold the device in one hand while trying to type with the other hand. This results in both hands simultaneously performing different tasks. On the other hand, using MBraille, for the most part, both hands are moving in synchrony and are placed almost 100% identically equally to one another which facilitates holding the device and entering data as the space one needs to interact with the device is much smaller (6 points rather than 26+ points associated with the letters on the keyboard). After using MBraille I switched back to regular touch typing and standard typing, and again I was having difficulty completing the typing task. In short, whether bumpy road or not, MBraille does seem to offer a very quick and hassle free typing experience. I gotta say, it is still hard for me to pull the trigger on the price because $30, to me and only me, seems a bit excessive for an app less than 1 meg in size. I hope this device goes on sale at some point as I'd definitely purchase it for $15 or $20. :) Two thumbs up for MBraille!
