Braille Typing — Learn the braille keyboard built into your iPhone Your iPhone already has a braille keyboard. Almost nobody knows how to use it. Let's fix that. Braille Typing teaches you to type with Braille Screen Input — the six-dot keyboard hiding inside VoiceOver — one letter at a time, until you're writing as fast as you think. No hardware to buy. No cables. Just your phone, your fingers, and a course that meets you exactly where you are. HOW IT WORKS Two new characters per lesson, with everything you've learned carried forward. Each lesson opens by teaching you to recognise the new dots, then hands you the keyboard to actually type them. You move on when you've genuinely got it — not after a fixed number of tries, but when your recent answers say you're ready. Every character you learn goes into Daily Review, a spaced-repetition system that brings things back right before you'd forget them. Miss one and it comes back sooner. Nail it and it stays away longer. That's how it sticks. THE COURSE Letters — the whole alphabet, plus capitals and your first common words Punctuation — because sentences need it Numbers — and your Grade 1 Graduation: from here you can write anything in uncontracted braille Then the contractions that make braille fast: Word Signs, Group Signs, Initial Letter Word Signs, Final Letter Group Signs, and Short Form Words MORE WAYS TO PRACTISE Tricky Pairs — d or f? e or i? Train the dots that mirror each other Dictation — hear it, type it: missing letters, whole words, numbers, sentences Speed Sprint — sixty seconds, how many can you type? Beat your best Contraction Choices — learn the rules for when a contraction is (and isn't) the right call The Two Lighthouses — a story that unlocks one chapter at a time as you finish each section, with a line from each chapter to type yourself BUILT FOR VOICEOVER, FROM THE FIRST TAP This isn't an app with accessibility bolted on. It was designed for people who use VoiceOver, by someone who tested every screen with it. Every prompt is spoken. Every answer is confirmed with a sound and a haptic you feel before you hear it. Progress is announced, not just drawn. And the setup walkthrough gets you into the braille keyboard in about a minute — including a live typing check that tells you if your dots are mirrored, before your first lesson. Sighted? A teacher, a parent, someone who's just curious? Everything works with VoiceOver off too — every braille cell is drawn on screen so you can see the pattern as well as the numbers. WHAT'S FREE, FOREVER Everything through Grade 1: every letter, number, and punctuation mark. Daily Review. The placement test. Your progress. No trial, no countdown, and it will never move behind a purchase later. Pro unlocks the five contraction categories, the extra practice activities, and the story. One-time purchase, or annual — your choice. $29.99 One-time purchase $14.99 Annual Privacy Policy and Terms of use: https://brailletyping.com/privacy-terms.html Your place in the course follows your iCloud account, so a new phone or a reinstall picks up right where you left off.
