Hi,
As far as iOS apps go, Braille is quite expensive, but in my opinion its worth every cent. It Is one of my most used apps. However, having said this, since iOS 8 isn't far away, I would wait for it and see what the braille is like there. I have had a quick play and you need to turn the rotor to the braille keyboard every time you want to use it and some contractions did have issues. But this was only a beta and it will probably improve by the time we see it. I can still see myself using Braille even when iOS 8 is out for certain things and will use the iOS braille keyboard at other times. Cheers, Brett.

I think it would be best to wait until IOS 8 comes out if possible. Mbraille is a bit expensive, and we do not know how things will work in IOS 8.

I wonder what it will be like on IOS8. Kawal. On 22 Aug 2014, at 12:05 am, Alex Hall <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: How are you using them? I use MBraille in Away Mode, and hold my phone against my body, arms bent so my hands can rest on the screen with my thumbs and pinkies supporting the device. I can't type forever, but I can easily write a normal email or something equally long, and dashing off texts or tweets is a snap. Table Mode, where you use the device on a flat surface, is not really doable for me either, but perhaps a different position will help you?

So I have to use a Braille display. Kawal. On 21 Aug 2014, at 21:07, RobH. <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Type n braille was popular for a while, then lost its development. So, mBraille is still very actively supported, used, and better documents than it might first appear, for the sake of looking. I use that one as I like the additional editing features. Sure, they're trying to stretch the envelope with .commands, but would prefer they make the basic functionality, bombProof first. Ok, consistent across modes and more consistent access to the less used characters we scribblers and techies have to use more than most. I had an old Braille 'n Speak and that had a good line in braille input and interpretation. Rh. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald L.

I know about Fleksy, M-Braille, braille commands, and possibly others of which I am unfamiliar. So if you would, please let me know which of these programs you like best and also why you prefer them. Is it just me, or do others also find there is precious little documentation for some of these programs? I don't mind using trial and error for a while, but it does get tedious.
