[nfbcs] Eyes-Free Text Input on iOS

[Gary Wunder]

Hello, Ryan. I have taken a look at your application, and one disadvantage seems to be that I cannot enter a braille cell that requires the use of the left and right hand with one key press. On other braille systems that simulate a braille keyboard on a touchscreen, I am able to enter the P by pressing dots one, two, three, and four. This makes a tremendous difference in the speed at which I can enter information.

Warmly,

Gary

Hello,

My name is Ryan Drapeau and I’m working with the mobile accessibility group at the University of Washington. We are looking for volunteers to give us feedback on an iPhone app that we have been developing. In order to help, you must be proficient on iOS and you should also know Braille. This can be done remotely.

The app is called Perkinput. Perkinput is a new way to enter text on your iPhone or iPad without using a keyboard. Perkinput is based on the Braille keyboard. After you enter something in the Perkinput app, you can send that text in an email, a text message, or simply copy the text and paste it in any other application.

Let me know if you'd be interested in learning more about it or feel free to download it yourself on the iTunes Store:

Best,
Ryan
