The fact that this app allows for document saving and editing makes it more interesting than the BrailleTouch app that also only does uncontracted braille. The fact that it handles 8 dot might be very interesting to check out.
I did find one part of the app description rather entertaining. I wonder how many people have successfully written braille with their " mechanic broiler?" Obviously a typo there. I will check this one out.

It is called Brailletexts. It is all for free. Unfortunately, it does not support grade two Braille, but it has some nice features such as copying, cutting and pasting text, you can send text messages, share on twitter and Facebook, plus some more, that I cannot remember right now. There are gestures and commands to provide these functions. Below is the description from the app store: BrailleTexts (EN) By Claudio Guida Description BrailleTexts is a sophisticated evolution of BraillePad, the revolutionary app that introduced Visual Braille concept. Writing documents is not always simple for a visually impaired user. With BrailleTexts you can type your documents using the braille coding as you used to do with your real mechanic broiler and, at the same rate: 4 characters per second. The idea is the same as in BraillePad, in fact the pad you will use to type letters is its enhanced version. Just rotate your device in landscape mode to activate the braille pad feature and start typing with your fingers. WITH BRAILLETEXT YOU CAN: * Type at high speed (about 4 letters per second) * Choose between 6- and 8-dots braille * Select your preferred braille coding table * Load, edit and save your documents * Navigate your message with high speed gestures * Perform standard operations such as cut, copy and past using a fast selection method * Manage your documents * Use iTunes file sharing feature to import/export documents * Share your messages on Facebook * Share your messages on Twitter * Send your messages via mail and/or SMS * Copy your messages on the clipboard * Use fast sharing command during typing Available tables: Bulgary, Belarus, German, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia (arabic), Sweden, Ukraine Have a wonderful Saturday and Christmas time. Wish you all merry Christmas and happy and prosperous new year. With kind regardss Maria -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
