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.

  Hi,
  I have tried the direct typing method, and i don't know what i think about it 
really. 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.

    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. :-)

      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.

            Hey guys, 
            I got ios8 installed, however, touch typing doesn't seem to work 
any 
            more.  Worse yet, it doesn't appear to be in my roter.  Any idea 
where 
            it might be hiding?
