[Electronics-talk] Project Ray/Odin Mobile Smartphone

[Baracco, Andrew W]

When writing on the iPhone, you can use the touch type method, where you
touch a letter for example, and when you raise your finger, the
character is entered. This method does not work outside of an edit
field. To choose an item or option outside of a document, you can either
double tap on the item, or you can do what I do, and that is to split
tap, which means that you touch the item you want with one finger, and
keeping the finger on that item, you tap anywhere on the screen with
another finger. I believe that this works on Android as well.

Carol, I really liked the phone as well. I am in contract with Verizon,
so 
can't switch right now. I'd like to know more about the limitations of
it 
versus the iPhone. I also don't do the double-tap well.

You feel around and when you get what you want, you simply lift your
finger.
For me, this is much more efficient/effective than tapping.  I did not
do
well at the tapping thing but immediately could get a good handle on
this
and I also support the fact that someone has done this.  It doesn't
bother
me at all to use something that was created for us blind folks.  After
all,
we are blind and do have certain needs related thereto, i.e. I use JAWS.
I'm not taking issue with anyone else's preferences but isn't it great
that
we do have options?  I'm also not presupposing that my family won't find
me
very hard to live with as I learn.  I don't do well at learning new
things.
You should see me on my new job, but I am making it.
