Hi Ian,
Still badly implemented though. It should translate only on termination of
a string, such as space or a punctuation mark, not try to translate mid
word.
All the best

I'm using a Brailliant BI 32 from Humanware with an iPhone 5 and it works,
well, brilliantly. I know from an industry source that apple do a lot of
ongoing consultation with blind techies to iron out bugs. for instance, it
used to be necessary to input Braille at very high speed in order to obtain
accurate results. this now seems to be much less the case.
