A great headsup for the app, but an absolute swine to read with the constant repetition of that very verbose link. I agree something needed to be done for iPad and hitting the dots, it's not something I've managed to do with any real success.
So, if anyone buys it, let us know how you fair with it.

"It’s nearly impossible to interact with elements on a totally smooth screen if you can’t see." "iBrailler Notes <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibrailler-notes/id929976332?mt=8&uo=4&at=10lody>, which began as a summer project at Stanford University in 2011 and is now available as a stand-alone app for iOS, aims to offer blind and vision-impaired iPad users an easy way to type Braille notes and perform basic word processing on a touchscreen," Bonnington reports. "iBrailler <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibrailler-notes/id929976332?mt=8&uo=4&at=10lody> isn’t the first to undertake this commercially... [But] what iBrailler <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibrailler-notes/id929976332?mt=8&uo=4&at=10lody> does differently is position its touch keyboard underneath the user’s fingertips, no matter where they set them on the iPad’s slick glass display. Every time you lift and readjust your hands on the screen, the keyboard does too. The keyboard uses Braille English Grade 1, Grade 2, and Six-Dot Computer Braille, and features built-in gestures for tasks like cutting, copying, and pasting text." -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
