I picked it up briefly to familiarity. You can learn to read it very quickly ("read" here meaning you no longer need to refer to the key so you can increase your reading speed just by reading more). If you're going to learn it consider learning dotsies v3[0] instead. All vowels plus y, and only the vowels, touch both edges which fixes the main issue, that you can't tell abcde apart.

- vackosar 8y agoDo you use the v3 in a practical application? e.g. browsing or programming?
- marchdown 8y agoSince no one has presented a version of the dotsies bookmarklet, which is actually necessary to use them in practice, I'll go and make one with the proper mapping for v3. If there is one already, let me know. Actually, looks like all the permutations in the bookmarklet only allow you to use glyphs in Dotsies.tff, and there are some possible glyphs missing. I'll have to edit the font file.
