BrailleTexts is a sophisticated evolution of BraillePad, the revolutionary app that introduced Visual Braille concept.

Writing documents is not always simple for a visually impaired user. With BrailleTexts you can type your documents using the braille coding as you used to do with your real mechanic brailer and, at the same rate: 4 characters per second.

The idea is the same as in BraillePad, in fact the pad you will use to type letters is its enhanced version. Just rotate your device in landscape mode to activate the braille pad feature and start typing with your fingers.

USAGE:
Take your iPhone between your hands palms with the screen looking away from you. In this position, with default settings you have:

* left index finger: dot 1
* left middle finger: dot 2
* left ring finger: dot 3

* right index finger: dot 4
* right middle finger: dot 5
* right ring finger: dot 6

WITH BRAILLETEXT YOU CAN:
* Type at high speed (about 4 letters per second)
* Choose between 6- and 8-dots braille
* Select your preferred braille coding table
* Load, edit and save your documents
* Navigate your message with high speed gestures
* Perform standard operations such as cut, copy and past using a fast selection method
* Manage your documents
* Use iTunes file sharing feature to import/export documents
