Visual Brailler

I tried using this app on my iPhone and iPad Pro and both were extremely awkward to use. On the iPhone version, they keys are too close together so its difficult to type with any accuracy. On the ipad version, the keys are too far apart. It would be useful if you could adjust the key spacing on your own to find a comfortable typing pattern. As it stands, my hands strain far too much for this to be an effective tool. It would be very cool if it could use 6-key input from a standard keyboard (like Perky Duck) as this would solve all of the key input issues.

Why is this happening... I create a file and it is blank if I email it or try to send it to anyone, rendering this app worthless.

If you tap three fingers at the same the IOS glitch of showing the undo/copy/paste bar does still appear. But, if you try “drumming” your fingers quickly. It does work and registers the correct letter. Think of drumming your fingers when you’re bored or trying to think. All of your fingers don’t hit at the same exact time, they go in quick succession. I’ve only had the app today so not a lot of experience with it. So far so good once I figured that out.

There’s no way to write faster than 1 letter every 30 seconds, because it takes 2-5 tries for a letter to register correctly and load in. Not good.

Whenever I type L, undo pops up and I can’t do anything. I see this is an issue written about on Nov 14. FIX IT! It is now sept 2020 and it still isn’t fixed. When will you finally do something?

I wish there was an option to enlarge the size of the braille cells on the screen. It would be great for remote learning with COVID. If I Turn the zoom on, some of the letters don’t work. I would expect an app from APH would be accessible to all.

That would be dots 123. I also have the same problem with dots 456. They open text editing commands. PLEASE FIX THIS! It was a great app before this happened.

It is very hard to get it to type certain letters.

Ever since the new IOS update, none of my Braille apps are working. Any time I use three fingers to write a Braille letter, a bar comes up on the top of my screen giving me the option to “paste, cut, undo, redo,” and will not allow me to type the letter. I was in contact with the accessibility team at Apple for several weeks as they were trying to figure out what was happening, and their engineers determined that it was an issue with the apps themselves, not the IOS update. PLEASE fix this bug. I’m currently learning how to type Braille for my masters program, and am now unable to practice as much as i need to since I can’t carry my Brailler everywhere with me.

Not able to Braille d,f,h,j.... was excited to try this with my student but can’t now.
