I can't type as fast on a Braille Note either, Jackie. The keys are spaced differently, smaller, so it is easier to hit a wrong key.

That's really interesting. On my braille note I type really slow but on the computer I type faster. I have never used a tuch screen a lot but when I did with my friends iPad it was hard. I really think this could help in some ways but it would have to be tested more. Also, the fact that it has to be cut and pasted might be a lot of hastle and take more time. I'd like to see where this goes. Jackie On 2/21/12, Valerie Maples <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
