Thanks. Not sure I'm quite ready yet (I tried to type in something using the Samsung keyboard this morning before having my coffee and gave up in total annoyance) but it sounds like something I'd like to try at some point.

Yes, Soft Braille Keyboard gives you a virtual braille keyboard. It's in the Play Store.

nice thing to try at some point....

Yes, Google changed the name of their keyboard from Google Keyboard to
GBoard. I mostly use the Soft Braille Keyboard, but when I use a
virtual keyboard, I usually use Gboard. I like the PC layout, where I
have the numbers across the top. I can't really talk to the
differences or explain which is better, but I'd suggest you just
install Gboard and give them both a try and settle in on the one you
prefer the most.

Excuse me for interrupting, but what's the gboard? the google keyboard?
Do you know how that differs from the Samsung keyboard? Wondering if
it'd be to my advantage to download the google keyboard and install it
instead. Really not enjoying this typing on the phone business (on my
computer right now, thankfully!)

Double tap on the edit field to make sure your editing the field and
then flick up or down to choose the granularity you want to move by.
Now flick left or right to move through your edit field by that
granularity. Note that the volume keys may also move you by character
when you're editing an edit field.

Note that I assume you're talking about Talk Back and you're using a
keyboard like the GBoard.

How do I move the cursor in a message to change or add letters?
