Hi Stacey, Yes, I have this app on my Mac. You don't need it on your iPhone. I actually got this back in December 2011, but all the discussions for this were on the mac-access list. There was also a David Woodbridge podcast demo of Type2Phone back in April 2012. You can find it at his pod bean pages: http://davidwoodbr.podbean.com/category/os-x-apps/ Navigate to the heading, "Demo of the Mac app TypeToPhone to enable your Mac to be a Bluetooth keyboard to your iOS device". You can then navigate to the links for playing and listening at the site, or for downloading the podcast.
The only thing that you may find tricky is doing the initial Bluetooth pairing. (But that was true when I used it the first time two years ago.)
