I have pretty good-sized hands too, enough that I can use my thumb to hit F# on the low E string of a guitar while my other fingers remain on the bottom strings; enough that I can, at a stretch, hit an octave plus two keys on a piano (not that I can really play one). I've used an iPhone 5 for braille input for years, starting with BrailleTouch, up through Mbraille, and now iOS. It's easy to do, once you get the right amount of curve in your fingers for your hands. Don't hold the fingers flat, curve them like you were in the beginning stage of making a fist. They should be arched so that the ends come to rest on the screen, but no more than that, and there should be good separation between the two hands (but not between the individual fingers of either hand). Again, it's hard to explain in text or audio, but hopefully I'm making sense. > On Oct 9, 2015, at 10:37, Anders Holmberg <and...@pipkrokodil.se> wrote: > > Hi! > Sorry for asking this question. > But i never got braille input to work on an ios device. > Even though Alex Hall did a great podcast on it. > Is an iphone 5S maybe a bit to small for a guy like me. > My fingers are very long. > Piano style fingers. > /A >> On 09 Oct 2015, at 04:57, Jeffrey Shockley <jawswiz...@gmail.com >> <mailto:jawswiz...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> Thank you for explaining this.
