Hi,

I don't understand what you are sazying Bob.  Android is no worse than iOS
when it comes to typing on the on-screen keyboard, and even if it is, you
can just download another keyboard, which you couldn't do on iOS until 8, so
Android is more configurable.

All the best

Steve

On Android, the sighted can, the blind can't.
On iOs, the blind can, so it's all relative, they're spoiled on iOs for 
doing more than you can do here.

Just an opinion, another opinion, but opinion nevertheless.

I also think that saying that being able to braille input directly into
a text field equals being spoiled is like saying that sighted people are
spoiled by being able to qwerty type directly into text fields.
