>Greetings!
>
>Thank you for your interest in BrailleTouch, and for signing up for
>the BrailleTouch email list. I am very excited to announce that
>BrailleTouch will be available on the App Store on Thu Jan 31
>worldwide. We offer a free trial version, which lets you type in
>braille on your touchscreen and hear the letters or words spoken as
>you type them. If you like BrailleTouch and find it useful, you can
>purchase a full upgrade from the app which will allow you to send
>text messages, tweets, and emails directly from the touchscreen
>braille keyboard. You can also copy the text you type in braille and
>paste it into any other app on your iPhone.
>
>The trial version of BrailleTouch is free to download from the App
>Store. The full upgrade is available for US$20 as an In-App
>Purchase. However, in appreciation of the overwhelming support we
>have received from the blind community, we are offering the full
>version for US$15 through Sunday February 3. We would like to
>express our gratitude to all of the generous volunteers who tested
>the app, to Accessible Devices, AppleVis, and Macneticos for their
>podcasts, and to everyone who has emailed us and posted on the
>VIphone and AppleVis forums and Twitter with helpful feedback.
>
>You can read more about BrailleTouch including a User Guide and FAQ
>at our website: http://brailletouchapp.com/
>
>The initial version of BrailleTouch supports Grade 1 uncontracted
>braille, based on the North American English standards. It includes
>upper and lower case letters, numbers, and most punctuation. Grade 2
>contracted braille is our top priority for a future upgrade. We also
>hope to be able to support languages other than English in the
>future. BrailleTouch requires iOS version 5 or later, and will run
>on iPhone 3Gs or later and iPod touch 3rd generation or later. We
>recommend using a case with your iPhone or iPod touch, as this will
>help you grip the phone while typing and will keep you from covering
>the speaker on the iPhone under the Home button with your hand. If
>you use headphones, we recommend a right-angle headphone plug or
>Bluetooth headphones.
>
>Feel free to forward this email to anyone you know who may be
>interested. This is a no-reply email address. We welcome any
>questions, comments, or feedback you may have. When the app comes
>out, we would love to hear your story about how you use
>BrailleTouch. You can contact us at: 
>http://brailletouchapp.com/contact.html
>
>Many braille instructors have contacted us about using BrailleTouch
>as a teaching tool. We hope the free version of BrailleTouch is
>helpful for learning the six-key braille keyboard. If you are a
>braille instructor or student, please let us know your experience
>using BrailleTouch.
>
>We hope you like BrailleTouch and find it useful. Please download
>the free version on Thursday and try it before you buy it. And let
>us know what you think!
>
>Best wishes,
