I don't understand why people seem to be against using apps and products that are blind specific. It seems like people avoid them like the plague, and, in a lot of instances, you're not getting full advantage of your device, such as an iPhone. Some mainstream apps just don't work as well for a blind user.

I have now installed Fleksy something i thought i would never do given that it was designed as a blind specific product in the first place, but now when it's actually available in Swedish i can experience for myself how powerful it really is. But that's also just an option amongst others. /Krister 18 sep 2014 kl. 01:47 skrev Jenny Wood <[email protected]>: Actually, you might be surprised. What's useless for one may be the next best thing for another. Personally, I am rather excited about the direct touch typing feature. While I made quite a few mistakes within the first three or four minutes of playing with it, my speed and accuracy picked up dramatically within the hour. For those whom muscle memory and spacial orientation come more naturally, it's a pretty neat option. But it's just that, an option, and personally, I applaud Apple for giving us more of them. :-) Jenny On Sep 17, 2014, at 5:34 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]> wrote: Useless on an iPhone as far as I am concerned. You basically have to hit the letter right on and it takes an actual tap and lift for the letter to type rather than just lifting your finger.
