I certainly wouldn't use an iPad if the virtual keyboard was the only input

I rarely do Braille translation, but that definitely is a consideration.

As for MS WORD, everybody sit down for a minute and hope not to be shocked. I 
haven't used it in five years. Being a Mac user, it was irrelevant, except for 
viewing Word documents. Ok, you can breathe now. <grin>. In fact, before I got 
a Mac, I used Word Perfect. Oh, forgot to warn you all again. LOL
