MBraille

MBraille is horrible. Its user interface is so complicated to use, typing is very poor. The general layout is not user-friendly. I will not be recommending this app. Braille Screen Input for the iPhone is much better.

This app doesn't work as advertised and I cannot get any support from the author. Save your money and use the iOS built-in braille: at least it works as expected.

It is so good to be able to write in grade 2 braille on my phone! Writing long texts is no longer a chore but a pleasure. The ability to google, Facebook, email and SMS from within the app is very convenient, and I love the way text is automatically saved to the clipboard when I switch to another app so I can paste it straight in.

I see why there are no ratings for this...probably no one can work out how it's supposed to work. When I start the app I get a black screen with whitedots along the edge. No help or explanation, no reponse to tapping,swiping or swearing. Useless.

So, it's taken me like a decade to really start using this, and now I can't believe I waited so long! MBraille is incredible! I love that I can review and edit text without leaving the keyboard, switch languages with one gesture, and even the clicks while using character echo are very satisfying! I'm telling all my braille user friends about MBraille. The smart keyboard seems to be more adaptable to my fingers than BSI, which I think will help my friends with shorter fingers. :) Thanks for a fantastic app! Keep it up!

I still use this app every day to input text, but I have a couple requests. Please bring back the working third party MBraille Keyboard from within apps. I can type and paste from the app of course, but it was so much easier to type in MBraille right from within the app I was using at the time. Second, fix multiple exclamation marks problem!!! In order to put multiple exclamation marks, I must swipe right to space, delete that space, and then put a 2-3-6. Writing several 2-3-6's in a row results in f's being typed.

You actually want us to cough up and pay forty dollars just for a braille keyboard? It's just a keyboard. And it used to be thirty. Why don't you get funding for this app or something so we don't have to become poor and pay forty bucks just for a keyboard. All the in app purchases have a very ridiculous price to them. I would rather pay a subscription of five dollars a month than pay forty. Haven't we payed enough for our iOS devices? Seriously. Deleting this rip off of an app until you lower the full price to about five dollars at the maximum. Oh and you know what else? VoiceOver provides a function that allows people to do the exact same thing that your app does, called braille screen input, and it has spell checked check as you edit the text and is completely free. I may have thought about this app in iOS seven when voiceover didn't provide this function, but not now. There's also other apps like flick type keyboard that allow blind people to type just as good as this app. I might get the full version since it allows you to work with third party apps but still. This app remains deleted from my iPad for now.

When this app first came out, the developer fairly quickly offered contracted braille. He has continually updated the app, including offering UEB, custom layouts, and many dot commands that allow you to run other apps from within MBraille. One person couldn't get it to work, probably because they didn't read the instructions or turn off tutorial mode. This is far better than Apple's onscreen braille and worth every penny.

Since I updated to IOS 13.1, this app no longer speaks. I am an experienced Braille user so can still type, but it is harder with no feedback. Please fix it!!!

Two things: 1: I got this and pressed the keyboard button just to experiment. I placed my fingers, and when I typed it got nothing I typed right. I even tryed different orientations. Nothing worked. 2: Wait so what about braille screen input? That's what I'm writing this review with. It's native, and it actually gets your fingers right. Good idea but it doesn't work very well and it also exsists. Maybe braille screen input didn't exist when you made the app but now it does and it's better. So sorry.
