Like I said, when I last had it working on the original Mini, the buttons lined up along an edge, the bottom edge above the home button was perfect, though a little tight for me; this was an evenly spaced line with no gap in the middle or extra button for space like the original configuration I never got the hang of. Rest Mini on lap or tabletop and put first 3 fingers of each hand side by side along the bottom of the screen.
Ps: and we did come across this a lot - a case that covers the device fairly thoroughly helps, I had Griffin or Otterbox which only exposes the working area of the screen, so edge of recess in the case was an ideal guide for placing fingers; it was pure guess work without a case like that and frought with unreliability. Pity the Dots company that make brailled screen covers couldn't come to the rescue here, so there was one with a dot in the middle of each dot button; we'd work wonders with it then. Would someone like to suggest it to them? could be a good market, given popularity of this app. RobH. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Regina Alvarado" <reggie.alvar...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2014 2:25 PM Subject: Re: why an ipad mini? MBraille is much easier for my small fingers on the phone. Can someone describe where the keyboard is on the larger iPad? Is it too at the bottom? Every time I try and use it I must be too far up or over too far as I can not get more than a few words to write correctly. Thanks for any suggestions. reggie and Allegra On Jan 3, 2014, at 12:42 PM, Jennie Facer <jennie.fa...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi, I use MBraille on my iPad mini and really like it.
