Well, I use mBraille and make less errors, pecularities of the app aside, and do manage quicker and usually more reliably; though it does mean keep sapping between apps. There's a new one, perkinput or something, but it still involves swapping between apps. I'll have to practice thumbs, though I'm not used to the device being in landscape to do it. So I'm a 1finger right handed typist in TouchType mode, which I find too slow and cumbersome to want to write more than I absolutely must.

I can almost type at the speed of using a purkins brailer with the only difference that I make more mistakes that I have to correct in my haste. "i also have a bluetooth keyboard but find myself rarely using it because it's very convenient to just use 1 device. Now if they would add something like autocorrect... Anyway, just thought I'd put in my word of praise for this amazing app. Best, Ioana Sent from my iPhone > On May 25, 2014, at 10:10 PM, Donna <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Desi > > I use a speeddots screen protector.
