  Thumb braille would work fine but requires you to have two fingers and press the keys at the same time. If you have full use of one hand or two fingers that can work separately then it is actually faster than uni-mode on the braille n speak as it is one press per character not multiple presses.

    Thumb braille sounds like what you are talking about.  It works fine.
