[Trainer-Talk] Touch braille description

[Fahle, Patricia]

Hi- Touch braille on the Braillenote as different than the iPhone.  When using the Touch Braille, your hands are in the same position as using the braillenote keyboard.  But instead of pushing and releasing each button/key, your finger tips are tapping on the glass on the tablet.  My braille student finds the touch braille to be faster and less frustrating than the braille keyboard. She had difficultly adjusting her muscle memory from the Apex keyboard to the braillenote keyboard and found that she was making several mistakes because she was brailing too fast.  The touch braille solved this problem for her and allowed her to continue with her speedy brailling.  
Hopes this helps-
Enjoy your day

   Good morning. Can someone describe touch braille on the BrailleNote
Touch? is it similar to writing braille on an iPhone screen? If so,
that didn't go well for me.
