This is me in nearly every particular; and used a lot of task switching to move into a new 4S, setting up all my various email accounts, all of them under Other! I found it a heck of a lot less frustrating typing it accurately and pasting than fiddling around a config screen with the onscreen keyboard. Sure, I managed it the first time or two, but prefer doing it without fighting it.

I bought it for its ability to write in Grade two, but much more for its editing capability. Although I can do it, I have never gotten very fast at using the touch screen keyboard, even with touch typing on. So if I want to write more than a sentence or two, , I use MBraille, and paste what I write into wherever it is going. The other morning, I wrote probably a 300-word email to a friend, in which I did some editing, and was able to correct all my errors. This is why it is worth it to me. And keep in mind the developer won't sell nearly as many copies of this app as will most other developers. He has to be paid for his time some way.

Neither do I wish to flame anyone in any way! I must say though, that I think MBraille is worth its price and more! I think people in blind society are pretty used to getting any number of things at a reduced cost, or no cost at all! But, Harri is one individual person who has taken his own time and extensive knowledge to provide something that is truly effective! I'm sure he can't afford to do this out of the goodness of his own heart, as much as he might want to do so! In short, I don't think the price is over reaching at all!
