emperortony:
So you say. I only asked a question, and the learned gentleman has given me an answer. Don't find fault where there isn't any.

I wasn't fault finding. I was just asking an honest question. If you weren't mocking, fine. And if you were, I leave you to your conscience.

Lol. Good morning to you too. I'm aite - can't complain.

emperortony: But how will the blind know if they were to use screen touch #question4dgods

That's the reason some tech companies are thinking of making phones that work ar brailles. They're ahead of you.

D square root of 64 is 8 something, av been trying to work it out all day!

experimentist: Another dumb azz question, it's simply called 'the home key' just like 'f' and 'j' on your PC..

ode.
people like u come here to intellectually brag after consulting google.

I am glad u actually know how to use google.

learn to be polite!

pendusky:
The blind use it for a middle ground, and can go from there and know where to press keys.
Just like some computer keyboards havea bump on the F and J so they know where to put their index fingers, to line the rest of them up to type.

hope uve learned!

you're wrong a have answer that already above lemme post it again!

Everything that seems IMPOSSIBLE is saying IM' POSSIBLE do you
know that
Braille, the alphabet for the blind built out of patterns of bumps,
is the way the blind navigate the world of text. But how do blind
people write Braille themselves? There exist specialized
mechanical devices for the purpose, that look something like little
typewriters, only with just a handful of keys.
Touchscreens have one other feature though–they’re smart. The
team realized that they didn’t have to make keys in a set location
that the user had to find; the user could simply set his fingers
down, and the keys could orient themselves accordingly. Each
time the user lifts all his fingers off the screen and sets them
down again, the keyboard would adjust to the fingers’ new
location.
Just watch this videos and you will find out what am talking
about! Hope youve learned again

This should make fp it will surely educate many others on nairaland

Modern touchscreen smartphones running latest versions of android, iOS & Windows phone come pre-installed & equipped with voice command engines that provides voice dialing, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, voice notifications etc. The problem is some of these functions might rely on internet connectivity to work fully.

If only Nigerians will use 80% of the features on their smartphones..

justi4jesu: The dot on the 5 key on the numeric cluster is the home key for the middle finger.

Folks (blind or not) use that for keying in numeric entries without having to look at the keyboard.

when the middle finger is properly aligned, it is used to strike the 2, 5, 8 keys, while the index finger strikes the 1, 4, & 7 keys, etc.

This minimizes hand movement and is very

fast when you have trained yourself.

This is similar to the F and J keys on the alphabetic part of the keyboard, those are the home keys for the index fingers for touch typists, and they have similar raised dots on them.

Mmmh...
