Ratings and reviews

This is the best braille keyboard I've found for typing actual braille cells. I have an issue with how it prints any characters that only use the right side of the cell on the left side. Consequently, the capital indicator and apostrophe are indistinguishable, the abbreviation sign and the letter B, etc. 7 pairs of symbols are indistinguishable from each other. That bothers me. It also adds spacing problems.

This app is pretty much just what i needed. Not only nice for inputting braille unicode text (great for encoded messages and ASCII art), but the actual input is great practice for internalising braille symbols. My only real issues are the fact that there are two different spaces for some reason (not a problem, just odd), and I can't find a way to make a paragraph break, since there's no equivalent for the Enter key. Is there a way to do that?

The keyboard design is clean, neat and simple which is what I love about it. No unnecessary features that hinder your typing or annoy you in general LOL. Although I just wish that there's a small indicator whether you're currently using braille input or alphabet input, but other than that it's overall a great app! PS: They also have an app where you can learn braille for free and it really helped me a lot! Kudos to the dev(s) 💗
