Latest reviews of DoItWrite app for iPhone and iPad
I have been a totally blind person my entire life. I used to have an alphabet puzzle when I was younger, that had all the lowercase letters in it. Though I have learned to sign my name sort of, Ive always wanted to learn how to write the other letters in the alphabet. I have been playing with this app for the past 45 minutes, and it is absolutely perfect! I have several friends who are teachers of the visually impaired, and I know they will benefit from something like this. What a brilliant idea! Maybe one day I will write a book and call it D Cypher the story. I will use my newly acquired handwriting skills to just write all these letters, and the reader will have to figure out what they are. LOL, great job!
I’m learning quite a lot with this app. I’d like to enter my passcode on my iPod with handwriting mode. I’m not there yet, but with this app, it is a matter of time. Great work. the game is a lot of fun, too.
I started using the app 2 days ago. I like the game, the coach, and everything. Soon Ill experiment with entering my passcode on my iPod touch with VoiceOvers handwriting mode. I have been totally blind since before I learned about written language. Ive always had an interest in raised letters, including learning most of the upper case letters when I was about 5. 2 years of optacon training in junior high, was very helpful, of course. The tip for creating the number 8 works, but I like my variation: slash (lower left to upper right) connected to an overlapped s, connecting the bottom of the s with the bottom of the / (slash).
